Beau mark 56021 - Understanding Washer Control Settings; Load Size Selection; Wash and Spin Speed Explained; Water Temperature Selection

Load Size
The water level should just cover the clothes. Adjust the load size accordingly. Loosely load clothes
no higher than the top row of holes in the washer tub.
Wash/Spin Speed (on some models)
The agitator moves clothes around for a cleaner wash; the basket spins later in the cycle to release
water from the load. The Wash/Spin Speed dial sets the speed of both the agitator and the basket.
With Normal wash speed, the agitator moves faster. Use for cottons, denims and play clothes. With
Delicate wash speed, the agitator moves slower. Use for delicate and knit items.
The Normal spin speed is for durable items. The Delicate spin speed is for delicate items like
sweaters and lingerie. Clothes will be less dry than when using Normal spin speed.
Temperature
Select the water temperature for the wash and rinse cycles. Always follow fabric manufacturer’s care
label or instructions when laundering. Follow the water temperature guide on the washer lid.
Wash Cycle
The wash cycle controls the length of the washing process. The chart below will help you match the
wash cycle setting with your clothing.
COTTONS For heavy to lightly soiled cottons, household linens, work and play clothes.
PERMA PRESS For wrinkle-free and permanent press items, and knits.
DELICATE For lingerie and special-care fabrics with light to normal soil. Provides periods of agitation and soak
during wash and rinse.
SUPER For heavily soiled fabrics. This cycle provides a longer agitation.
PREWASH For heavily soiled clothes or for clothes with a care label that recommends prewashing before wearing.
QUICKWASH For lightly soiled items that are needed in a hurry.
15 MIN/30 MIN For heavily soiled clothes. Begins with a brief agitation, soaks for a specified period of time, then moves
AUTO SOAK through the rest of the cycle automatically.
