Style 1: With liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some 
models)

Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser. Pour 
measured liquid fabric softener into the dispenser. 
Softener is added automatically during the rinse portion 
of the cycle. Dilute liquid fabric softener by filling the 
dispenser with warm water until liquid reaches the 
underside of the rim. See max fill line arrows.  

Style 2: Without liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some 
models)

In the final rinse only, add fabric softener that has been 
diluted with 

¹⁄₂

to 1 cup (125 to 250 mL) warm water. 

5. Close the washer lid. Washer will not agitate or spin with the 

lid open.

6. Turn the LOAD SIZE or WATER LEVEL selector to the correct 

setting for your wash load and the type of fabric being 
washed. You may change the load size or water level 
selection after the washer has started filling by turning the 
selector to a different setting.

7. Select a Wash Temperature based on the type of fabric and 

soil being washed. Use the warmest wash water safe for the 
fabric. Follow garment label instructions.

Temperature Guide  

NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C), 
detergents do not dissolve well. Soils can be difficult to 
remove. Some fabrics can retain wear wrinkles and have 
increased pilling (the formation of small lint-like balls on the 
surface of garments).

8. (OPTIONAL) EXTRA RINSE selector (on some models). For an 

additional rinse and spin at the end of a wash cycle, set the 
EXTRA RINSE selector to ON. On some models, the EXTRA 
RINSE feature is part of the cycle. 

9. (OPTIONAL) Some models have an END OF CYCLE SIGNAL 

selector. Set this selector to ON if you want your washer to 
alert you when the wash cycle is complete.

10. Push in the Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to the 

wash cycle you want. Reduce the wash time when using a 
small load size setting. Pull out the Cycle Control knob to 
start the washer. 

To stop or restart your washer:

To stop the washer at any time, push in the Timer knob. 

To restart the washer, close the lid (if open) and pull out 
the Timer knob.
