SET WATER LEVEL CONTROL

for your

Benefit

This control gives you the flexibility to
save water when washing small loads.

Your washer lets you select a water
setting based on the size of your wash

load.

• For normal loads, start with the

MEDIUM LOAD Setting. Adjust up
or down depending on your load.
Clothes should move freely and roll

toward the agitator.

• To change to a higher water level

setting after the washer has started to
agitate, turn the knob to the desired

new setting.

SET WATER TEMPERATURE
CONTROL

Your washer lets you select a wash
and rinse water temperature setting
based on the type of load you are
washing.

• Using warm rinse water will leave

loads drier after the spin cycle than
if you use cold rinse water. However,
warm rinses may increase wrinkling
when line drying.

• In cold climates, warm rinse water also

provides a more comfortable temperature
for handling the wash load.

wearing and washing of garments.
