WASHERUSE Loading suggestions For these suggested full-sized loads, set the LOAD SIZE selector to the highest setting. When the Cycle Control knob is set to a number and pulled out, the washer fills (to the selected load size) before agitation and timing start. The washer begins agitating immediately after filling; agitation occurs with the washer lid up or down. During agitation, the agitator creates a continuous rollover action that provides a thorough cleaning of the wash load.
2. (OPTIONAL) Pourmeasured liquidchlorine bleach intothe liquidchlorine bleach dispenser. Bleach willbediluted automatically duringthewashpartofthecycle. Fire Hazard Never place items in the washer that are dampened with gasoline or other flammable fluids. No washer can completely remove oil. 3. Do not dry anything that has ever had any type of oil on it (including cooking oils). • Never use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for a full load. Use less with a smaller load size.
Some models use ACCUWASH TM automatic temperature control. The ACCUWASH feature maintains a uniform water temperature by regulating incoming hot and cold water. This helps eliminate undissolved detergent and ensures consistent cleaning results. The cold wash is regulated at approximately 75°F (24°C). The warm wash is maintained at approximately 100°F (38°C). NOTE: Make sure that both hot and cold water faucets are turned on or the ACCUWASH feature will not work properly.
