SET WATER LEVEL CONTROL
This control gives you the flexibility to
save water when washing small loads.
Your washer lets you select a water
setting based on the size of your wash
load.
• For normal loads, start with the
MEDIUM LOAD Setting. Adjust up
or down depending on your load.
Clothes should move freely and roll
toward the agitator.
• To change to a higher water level
setting after the washer has started to
agitate, turn the knob to the desired
new setting.
SET WATER TEMPERATU RE
CONTROL
Your washer lets you select a wash and
rinse water temperature setting based
on the type of load you are washing.
Some washers allow you to select
warm rinses:
• Using warm rinse water will leave
loads dryer after the spin cycle than if
you use cold rinse water. However,
warm rinses may increase wrinkling
when line drying.
• In cold climates, warm rinse water
also provides a more comfortable
temperature for handling the wash
load.

*In wash water temperatures colder than 70°F detergents do not dissolve well. Also, soils may
be difficult to remove and some fabrics may retain wear wrinkles and have increased pilling -
the formation of small lint-like balls on the surface of garments. Pilling is the natural result of
wearing and washing of garments.
