WASHER CYCLE DESCRIPTIONS
This information covers several different models. Your washer may vary from the model shown and may not have all the cycles and
features described. Washer will not agitate or spin with the lid open.
Cycle Selections
Temperature Control
You should select a Wash/Rinse temperature based on the type of
fabric and soils being washed. For best results, use the warmest
wash water safe for fabric. Follow garment label instructions.
Your washer uses automatic temperature control to maintain a
uniform water temperature by regulating incoming hot and cold
water. This helps eliminate undissolved detergent and ensures
consistent cleaning results. The cold wash is regulated at
approximately 24°C by adding small amounts of hot water during
the cold fill. The warm wash is maintained at approximately 38°C.
Load Size or Water Level Control
Adjust water level to load size. Clothes should move freely. To
change to a higher water level after agitation starts, you may turn
knob to desired setting.
On models with a variable Load Size or Water Level control, you
should turn the knob to RESET, then to desired setting.
