User Manual Frigidaire FAFS4174NR Affinity 3.9 Cu. Ft. Front Load Washer

If desired, you can add liquid fabric softener if your washer has the fabric softener dispenser.
Remember to follow the fabric softener label instructions by the manufacturer.
DO NOT use powder detergent in this dispenser.
DO NOT fill above the maximum fill line.
You must select the fabric softener option on your display. If you experience fabric softener build-up in the dispenser, simply use hot water to clean.

High-efficiency washers are designed to use less water and energy.
It is perfectly normal for the water level to appear lower than what you may have experienced with an older top load washer.
Most Frigidaire Top Load Washers rely on sensory technology and will determine the proper water level for each load – water will enter the tub once the sensory cycle is complete (this may take a few minutes).
For laundry loads needing extra water, some Frigidaire Top Washers have the Max Fill feature.
Pressing the Max Fill button adds the maximum amount of water possible, and will increase the duration of the cycle time. The Max Fill feature is not recommended for regular day-to-day use but more on an as needed basis.

Once you have loaded your washer and closed the lid, press the POWER button to turn on your appliance.
Then, turn the cycle selector in either direction to scroll to your desired cycle. In some models the indicator for your selected cycle will be illuminated. Based on the cycle selected, the estimated cycle time, wash temperature, soil level and options associated with the cycle chosen may also illuminate.
After making your selections, press START to begin.

To change the options, press the TEMP and SOIL level buttons to scroll to the desired settings.
If you chose to deselect an Option just press the button for that Option until it is no longer illuminated on your display.
