Washer Features Wash/Rinse Temperature
Turn the Wash/Rinse Temperature knob to select the wash water
temperature suitable for the fiber content and soil level of each load.
A cold water rinse saves energy and reduces wrinkling.
To conserve energy, the hot wash water is regulated to approximately
100° F. Warm and cold wash and rinse water temperatures are not
regulated.
Water Level
Turn the Water Level knob 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 of the agitator vanes. There
should be enough water in the tub for items to move freely.
The bulkiness of items is important to consider when selecting a water
level. Very absorbent items such as pillows, blankets and rugs will require
more water. For best results when washing bulky items, set the Water
Level control for the largest amount of water (HIGH).
To help reduce wrinkling in permanent press, knit, and delicate loads,
select either the MED or HIGH Water Level setting.
Bleach Dispenser
When using bleach, add it to the wash tub before clothes are added. To
add bleach, use the Bleach Dispenser located in the left front corner of the
machine under the lid. Always use the HIGH Water Level setting when
using bleach.
Measure liquid bleach in a measuring cup. Use 3/4 cup for small loads, 1
cup for large loads and 1-1/4 cups for extra large loads. Pour the bleach
directly into the dispenser, then pour in one cup of water.
The bleach dispenser automatically dispenses the diluted liquid bleach into
the wash water.
Powdered bleach must not be used in the Bleach Dispenser. Before adding
articles, add powdered bleach to the wash water following directions on
the package.
Safety Lid Lock
For your safety, the washer lid locks automatically at the beginning of each
spin cycle and remains locked until the spin portion of each cycle is
completed. The lid will automatically unlock approximately 2-3 minutes
after the end of the spin cycle.
To open the lid during the spin cycle, push in the timer knob and wait for
the lid lock to release before opening.
