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.

SET WATER TEMPERATURE
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 tempera-
ture for handling the wash load.
