Kenmore Washer - Manual (Page 14)

Final Spin
■ The last of the rinse water is drained and the ioad is spun.
The amount of spinning depends on the cycle selected.
To make unloading easy the ioad is peeled off the sides of the
basket by the calypso wash motion.
Normal Washer Sounds
As with any new product, you wiil hear sounds that you are not
accustomed to. You may hear various sounds occurring during
the washing, rinsing and spinning process. Between changes in
wash actions, there wili be momentary pauses. You will hear
water spraying and splashing during the wash and rinse cycles.
These new sounds and pauses are part of normal washer
operation. (See “Troubleshooting.")

Saturated Soak
Use this option for set-in stains and soil that need extra time for
removal. Soaking in this washer is different than in a conventional
washer. The washer sprays the load with water and detergent for
4 minutes at extra low spin speed followed by a brief period of
wash action at the speed of the selected cycle. Then another 4
minutes of spraying and extra low spinning occurs. The wash
action then pauses for the detergent to work on the soils. The
SATURATED SOAK feature is followed by the selected cycle.
Using SATURATED SOAK will extend your wash cycle by 16
minutes.
Stain Treat
Selecting this option boosts cleaning in any cycle. This option
allows you to use more detergent than you would normally use in
a single cycle. For best results, use 2 times the amount of
recommended detergent for a load. Using STAIN TREAT will
extend your wash cycle by 14 minutes.
Rinse/Spin Options
Selecting this option allows you to choose a 2nd Rinse and
Extended Spin option. You may also select and run EXTENDED
SPIN and RINSE/SPIN without first selecting a cycle. RINSE/
SPIN is not available if a cycle has been selected.

2nd Rinse
Selecting this option provides a second rinse with the same
water temperature as selected for the first rinse. A 2nd Rinse can
be added to any wash cycle.
Extended Spin
This option adds an additional 3 minutes of spin to any cycle to
reduce drying time and save energy. If you select EXTENDED
SPIN and do not select a wash cycle, you will get a 3 minute, high
speed spin.
Rinse/Spin
Use this option to get a combination of rinses and spins followed
by a high-speed spin. The time display will include an estimate of
how long it will take to fill and drain the washer. Fabric softener
can be added to the Fabric Softener dispenser.
When to use Rinse/Spin:
■ For loads that need rinsing only.
■ For completing a cycle after the power has been off.
■ To add fabric softener to load.
To use or change Rinse/Spin settings:
1. Add fabric softener to the dispenser (if desired}.
2. Press the RINSE/SPIN OPTIONS control until the RINSE/
SPIN indicator light glows.
3. Press STAFTT.

energy,
Wash/Rinse Temp
Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are
washing. Use the warmest water safe for fabrics. Follow garment
label instructions.
Warm rinses leave the loads dryer than cold rinses. Warm rinses
increase wrinkling. In cold climates, a warm rinse makes the load
more comfortable to handle. Cold rinses save energy.
