Loading the Washer
Load Articles
• Load items by the amount of space they 
take up, not by their weight. Mix large and 
small items in a load to get the best washing 
results.
• Load items loosely into the wash drum. The 
bulk of the clothes rather than the weight will 
determine load size.
Bulky Items
• Use the HANDWASH/DELICATE cycle for 
bulky items such as blankets and 
comforters. The cycle includes 12 minutes of 
gentle agitation to clean items delicately 
and thoroughly. The extra rinse cycle may be 
selected to ensure complete removal of soap 
residue. A final spin extracts the moisture at 
a low speed to maintain the load’s balance 
and minimize wear to the articles.
Load Sizes
• Load sizes vary. Small and large items 
should be washed together to create a 
balanced load. If washing a large item, two 
bath towels should be added to even the 
load.
• Smaller loads can create an unbalanced 
condition and cause premature wear on the 
washer. Do not hesitate to fill the entire 
inner drum of the washer. The load will 
compress a great deal when wet. This allows 
room for proper tumbling.
Water Level
• The washer will automatically adjust the 
water level to the type and size of the load 
during any fill.
Wash Temperature
Boosted Hot Water (on select models only)
The Boosted Hot Wash will boost the water 
temperature in the tub to 140°F (60°C) and is 
useful for improved cleaning of some loads. The 
red HEATING light will light up when heating. The 
cycle will not advance until 140°F (60°C) has been 
reached.
The time needed to reach this temperature may 
add an additional 30 to 60 minutes to the cycle 
time. Hot water is the most effective for cleaning 
but it is not recommended for all fabric types 
(read labels).
NOTE: The Boosted Hot Wash can be turned off 
by changing the cycle selector knob to OFF and 
restarting a cycle with a different water 
temperature setting.
Hot Water
The Hot Wash temperature is determined by the 
actual temperature of the hot water supplied to 
the washer. For models with Boosted Hot Wash, 
the heater element will not be on. Hot water is the 
most effective for cleaning, but it is not 
recommended for all fabric types (read labels).
Warm Water
The Warm Wash is useful for providing a thorough 
cleaning on lightly soiled clothing without 
damaging fabric or adding to color fading.
The Warm Rinse is useful in preventing wrinkles on 
certain fabrics. Check labels for fabric 
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Do not wash or dry items soiled with 
vegetable or cooking oils. Some oils may 
remain after washing and may cause the 
fabric to catch on fire by itself.
