Starting the Wash
1. Prepare clothes for washing
For best wash results:
Remove items from pockets and cuffs
Close zippers and fasteners; mend rips and tears
Sort items into separate loads
Pre-treat stains and heavily soiled areas
2. Select WASH/RINSE temperature
Always follow garment manufacturers care labels for each fabric. See
chart below.

3. Select LOAD SIZE / WATER LEVEL
Variable control allows you to select the most appropriate setting for each
wash load. Do not fill above top row of holes in tub with clothes. Use the
chart below to determine setting.
IMPORTANT:
Do not hold knob at RESET for extended periods or washer
flooding may result.
4. Select wash cycle and time
Push timer knob in and turn to desired cycle and wash time. Timer knob
can be turned in either direction. Wash cycle and time selection
depends upon type of fabric and amount of soil. For best results when
cleaning heavily soiled items, use longer wash time, up to 15 minute
maximum. Lightly soiled items require less wash time. See "Cycles"
section for more information.
If These Controls
are Different from
Yours
These controls are intended to
show the variety of features that are
available in the product line. If your
washer does not have all the options
that are shown, it is not a mistake. The
information provided applies to several
of the models in the product line.
If you change your mind
and the LOAD SIZE
SETTING
If the tub is filling and you decide to
change the LOAD SIZE SETTING, you
must turn the knob to RESET before
changing the load size. The tub can
overfill if you do not turn to RESET
first.
IMPORTANT: Do not stop cycle for
longer than 30 minutes. Internal
pressure switch may reset and cause tub
to overfill.
If cycle has been stopped for more than
30 minutes, set your Cycle Dial to spin
and set your wash cycle again.
