Select the setting most suitable for your load. Ex small or
Small (depending on model) will add a low amount of water
for smaller loads and Large will add the most amount of
water for large or bulky loads. Items need to move freely.
Tightly packing can lead to poor cleaning performance, and
may increase wrinkling and tangling.
WASH TEMPERATURE

temperatures by regulating incoming hot and cold water.
Select a wash temperature based on the type of fabric
and soils being washed. For best results and following
the garment label instructions, use the warmest wash
water safe for your fabric.
■ On some models and cycles, warm and hot water may
be cooler than your previous washer.
■ Even in a cold and cool water wash, some warm
water may be added to the washer to maintain
a minimum temperature.
FABRIC SOFTENER (on some models)
This option can be added to most cycles and must be set
to YES if using fabric softener during a cycle. It ensures that
fabric softener is added at the correct time in the rinse for
even distribution.
