To get the maximum cleaning and fabric care from your washer, please read and follow these instructions. NOTE: The drawings in this section show the basic features of all models covered by this manual. Refer to the supplied "Feature Sheet" for your washer's particular features.
SET WATER LEVEL CONTROL 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.
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. • 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.
AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL (ATC) Some Kenmore washers feature Automatic Temperature Control (ATC). ATC takes away the worry of undissolved detergent and ensures consistent cleaning results from season to season with warm and cold washes.
SETTING YOUR CYCLE SELECTOR (TIMER) CONTROL Use this control to choose the agitation time and to start the washer. • For heavy soil and sturdy fabrics, use the full time (SUPER if indicated). • For light soil and delicate fabrics, use less time (SHORT if indicated).
SETTING YOUR RINSE OPTIONS CONTROL A second rinse will remove more detergent residue. It is especially beneficial if extra detergent has been used to remove heavy soils. Washers with a RINSE OPTIONS Control Your washer allows you to add an auto- matic second rinse to the ULTRA CLEAN Cycle or PERMANENT PRESS Cycle.
SELF-CLEANING LINT FILTER Lint is filtered from the load automatically - there's no messy cleanup. Your washer features a self-cleaning filter that traps lint from the water while the washer is washing and deep rinsing the laundry. The trapped lint is flushed down the drain automatically.
USING THE LIQUID CHLORINE BLEACH DISPENSER Automatically dilutes bleach to ensure the cleanest and brightest loads, Always measure liquid chlorine bleach, Use a measuring cup, do not guess. Do not pour directly from bottle. Never use more than 1 cup for a full load.
USING THE LIQUID FABRIC SOFTENER DISPENSER After loading the washer, measure and add the recommended amount of fabric softener into the dispenser. Follow manufacturer's directions. NOTE: Pouring too much fabric softener into the dispenser will cause the fabric softener to dispense instantly into the load due to siphoning action.
