WASHER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Washing Cycle Settings Wash Water Temperature Turn the temp knob until the desired wash water temperature is selected. Select a wash water temperature according to fiber content, colorfastness and soil level. To protect your fabrics, the temperature range of cold to hot settings may be different depending on cycle selected. For best results Follow the fabric care label instructions on items to be washed. The water heater setting and its distance from the washer, water usage in other parts of the home, and seasonally low ground water temperature in some geographic areas can affect water temperature. hot Use this setting for heavily soiled white or colorfast cottons and blends. warm Use this setting for normally soiled white or colorfast cottons or blends. cool (on select models) Use this setting for normally soiled sheets, casual items and washable woolens. cold Some warm water will automatically blend with cold tap supply to achieve cold. Use this setting for lightly soiled non-colorfast items, knits, delicates, and hand washables. cold water clean (on select models) Wash and rinse temperatures are equivalent to temperature of cold tap supply. Use this selection for fabrics and colors that are prone to dye transfer. For use with cold water detergents. Water Level (on select models, automatic on others) Turn the water level knob (on select models) to select a water level appropriate for the load size. For best results, DO NOT overload. Add items loosely to the tub. The dry load should not be higher than the top row of holes in the wash tub. There should be enough water in the tub for items to move freely. Í NOTE If auto water level is selected, the washer will perform a dry load sensing procedure before adding water to the tub. Water level is automatically calculated by the washer on models without a water level knob. Fabric Softener (on select models) If your model is equipped with an automatic fabric softener dispenser, you must turn the fabric softener switch to the "on" position for correct operation. See Care and Cleaning for dispenser cleaning procedures. Energy Saver (on select models) The energy saver option reduces water temperature to save energy, lowers water usage slightly and also extracts more water to reduce drying time. 10
