WATER TEMPERATURES
• Turn the knob to point at a setting
that describes the size of load you
want to wash.
• Set the knob anywhere on or be
tween EX SMALL (a few smaii items)
and EX LARGE (a fuli load).
NOTE: Use the EX LARGE water
level for best permanent press
results.
• Match the wash and rinse water
temperature to the type of fabrics and
soils being washed.
• All rinses are cold. Cold rinses save
energy and help prevent wrinkles from
setting into fabrics.

GENTLE cycles. For heavily
soiled permanent press or knit
clothes, pre-wash or pre-soak
