KITCHENAID KAWS800G - Manual (Page 7)

7
NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 70ºF
(21ºC), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils can be
difficult to remove. Some fabrics can retain wear
wrinkles and have increased pilling (the formation of
small lint-like balls on the surface of garments).
■ Some models have an electronic sensor control that
maintains a uniform water temperature. See
“SENSORSURE
™ Temperature Control.”
7. (OPTIONAL STEP) Some models have an EXTRA
RINSE selector. For an additional rinse and spin at the
end of the Normal wash cycle, set the selector to On.
8. (OPTIONAL STEP) Some models have an OPTIONS
selector. This allows you to select an End of Cycle
Signal at the end of any cycle and/or add an Extra
Rinse to your Normal wash cycle only.
■ The End of Cycle Signal is helpful when you are
washing items that should be removed from the
washer as soon as the cycle ends.
■ An Extra Rinse removes additional detergent
residue from heavily soiled or special care items.
Using the OPTIONS selector
■ Set the selector at On/On for an End of Cycle Signal
and an Extra Rinse.
■ Set the selector at On/Off for an End of Cycle Signal
only.
■ Set the selector at Off/On for an Extra Rinse only.
■ Set the selector at Off/Off if you do not desire an
End of Cycle Signal or an Extra Rinse.
9. Push in the Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to
the wash cycle you want. Reduce wash time when
using a small load size setting. See “Selecting a Cycle
and Time.”
Pull out the Cycle Control knob to start the washer.
To stop or start your washer
■ To stop the washer at any time, push in the Cycle
Control knob.
■ To restart the washer, close the lid (if open) and pull out
the Cycle Control knob.
Selecting a Cycle and Time
This section describes the available wash cycles and will
help you make the best cycle selections for your wash
loads. Each cycle is designed for different types of fabric
and soil levels.
■ The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle.
These pauses are normal. Refer to “Normal Washer
Sounds” to learn more about the sounds you may hear
during a wash cycle.
■ Refer to “Understanding Washer Cycles” to learn what
happens during a wash cycle.
NOTE: This manual covers several different models. The
Cycle Control knob for each model is shown below. Once
you find your model number, use the cycle descriptions for
that particular washer.
Model KAWS700G
Normal cycle
The Normal cycle features extended agitation time for
cleaning cottons and linens, and longer spin times to
shorten drying time. Select 6, 10, or 12 minutes of wash
time, depending on whether your load is lightly, moderately
or heavily soiled.
Extra Wash - Select the 16-minute Extra Wash feature to
wash heavily soiled loads that need maximum soil
removal. Use two times the amount of recommended
detergent for this cycle.
Wrinkle Resist/Permanent Press cycle
The Wrinkle Resist/Permanent Press cycle starts with high
agitation and then steps to low for cleaning permanent press
blends and synthetic fabrics. To maximize water removal but
minimize wrinkling, this cycle features a cool-down rinse and a
final spin that steps through extra low, low and high spin. Select
6 or 10 minutes of wash time for lightly to moderately soiled
loads.
