SPEEDS DESCRIPTIONS

This section illustrates and describes the wash/spin speeds you can select with the SPEEDS Control. Each speed setting is designed for different types of fabrics and soil levels.

HANDWASH PLUS FINE DELICATES

Use this speed setting for hand washable

and special-care items. Garments are labeled "Hand Wash" because:

• The fiber or construction may be sensitive to agitation.

• The fabric contains sensitive dyes that may bleed.

The wash action mirrors the way you would treat hand washable garments in a sink. It does this by repeating periods of extra-slow speed agitation and soaking.

Slow spin speeds help reduce wrinkling.

Do not use this cycle for large items like blankets.

NOTE: Some "Hand Wash" items, particularly wool, naturally shrink when washed. Keep this in mind when you purchase items labeled "Hand Wash."

Items that shrink should be dried flat.

When still wet, block these items by gently stretching to original measurements.

SELF-CLEANING LINT FILTER TOTAL CARE

TM

AGITATOR

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. You don't have to clean the filter.

QUIET PAK

TM

II

The QUIET PAK

TM

II System is designed to reduce water sounds and ringing noises. The cabinet is insulated with three sound-dampening materials for superior vibration and sound-dampening characteristics.

Kenmore's exclusive TOTAL CARE

TM

Agitator has triple action agitation to give you the most flexible fabric care for even your largest loads.

The TOTAL CARE

TM

Agitator moves in three directions, depending on load size, to ensure proper cleaning. The best cleaning action in your washer takes place at the bottom where the agitator vanes move back and forth to flex the fabric, loosening the soil.

The upper portion of the agitator features special vanes that push the clothes down in a spiraling pattern to where the cleaning action is, displacing the clothes that are there with a "roll-over" motion.

For your largest loads, the TOTAL CARE

Agitator offers a load-sensing feature that

TM actually senses when you are washing a very large load and responds with a third, vertical motion that senses the load size and guides items to the bottom.

UNDERSTANDING

WASHER SOUNDS

NORMAL

Your new washer may make sounds that your old one didn't. Because the sounds are unfamiliar, you may be concerned about them.

The following describes some of the normal sounds you may hear and what causes them.

During Washing

When you select a small load size setting for a small wash load, your washer has a lower water level. With this lower water level, you may hear a clicking sound from the upper portion of the agitator.

During Drain

The rate that water is drained from your washer depends on your installation. If water is drained quickly from the washer, you may hear air being pulled through the pump. This happens during the end of draining.

After Drain and Before Spin

When the cycle changes from draining to spinning, you may hear a noise as the gearcase shifts.

USING THE LIQUID CHLORINE

BLEACH DISPENSER

The liquid chlorine bleach dispenser automatically dispenses bleach at the proper time in the cycle to ensure the cleanest and brightest loads.

After loading the washer, pour measured liquid chlorine bleach carefully into the dispenser.

• Do not let bleach splash, drip, or run down into washer basket. Undiluted bleach will damage any fabric it touches.

• Start the washer. Bleach will be dispensed automatically after the detergent has had time to work.

• Do not overfill.

Look for the level markings on the dispenser cover.

Dispenser holds 1 cup (250 mL) of liquid chlorine bleach.

NOTE: Do not use this dispenser to add powdered chlorine or color-safe bleach to your washer load. The dispenser is for liquid chlorine bleach only.

Always measure liquid chlorine

bleach. Use a measuring cup, do not guess. De net pour directly from bottle.

Never use more than 1 cup (250 mL) for

a full load. Use less with smaller loads.

Fellow manufacturer's directions for safe use. A cup with a pouring spout will help you avoid spilling.

Liquidchlorine bleachdispenser

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. This instant

"dump" could damage fabrics and will make it appear that your dispenser is not working correctly.

To Remove the Fabric Softener

Dispenser for Cleaning:

STEP 1. Pull up on the Fabric Softener

Dispenser to remove the dispenser from the agitator.

STEP 2. Grasp both ends of the dispenser.

Pull to separate.

=)

STEP 3. Remove internal holding cup.

STEP 4. Rinse all three parts with warm water.

STEP 5. Place the holding cup in the top outer portion of the dispenser.

STEP 6. Snap the bottom and the top of the Fabric Softener Dispenser together.

....

• Add warm water to fill the dispenser until it reaches the bottom of the opening of the funnel-shaped portion of the dispenser.

• Fabric softener is dispensed into the first deep rinse water automatically.

NOTE: Fabric softeners are not compatible with detergents. This dispenser should never be used in the PREWASH

Cycle since it would dispense fabric softener into a wash load that has not been rinsed. Undiluted fabric softener spilled on fabric may result in spots that look like oil stains.

If you ever use your dispenser this way by mistake, rewash the load with extra detergent to remove these deposits.

STEP 7. Replace the dispenser on the agitator; press firmly to snap into place.

PREPARING CLOTHES

FOR WASHING

Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of your garments.

• Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid scratching the washer interior.

Remove non-washable trim and ornaments.

• Empty pockets and turn them inside out.

• Turn down cuffs, brush away lint and dirt.

• Turn synthetic knits inside out to avoid pilling.

• Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.

• Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.

• Treat spots and stains.

• Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best results.

SORTING

• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if they would normally be washed together. Separate lint givers

(towels, chenille) from lint takers

(corduroy, synthetics, permanent press).

When possible, turn lint givers inside out.

• Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from non-colorfast items.

• Sort by fabric and construction

(sturdy cottons, knits, delicate items).

LOADING * Reduce wash time by using a lower water level setting, Loads with only a few small items need less wash time.

Proper loading of your washer contributes to proper cleaning and fabric care and reduces machine noise,

• Drop items into washer loosely. Fill to the top of the basket (top row of holes).

Do not wrap items around the agitator.

Items should move easily through wash water for best cleaning and wrinkle-free results. Items should sink and reappear later.

• Load washer properly and select correct water level setting. Overloading or packing the machine, and selecting a setting too small for the wash load can:

- cause poor cleaning

- increase wrinkling

- create excessive lint

- wear out items faster

(because of pilling)

• Load by the amount of space items take up, not by their weight.

• Mix large and small items in each load.

Load evenly to maintain washer balance. An off-balance load can make the washer vibrate during spin.

• Use a higher water level setting to reduce wrinkling with permanent press clothes and some synthetic knits. These items should have more room to move in the water than heavy items (towels, jeans).

Loading Suggestions

For these suggested full-sized loads, set the WATER LEVEL selector to the highest water level setting.

CLEANING YOUR WASHER

Exterior

Wipe up detergent, bleach, and other spills with a soft, damp cloth or sponge as they occur. Occasionally wipe the outside of the washer to keep it looking like new.

Do not put sharp or metal objects in your washer. They can damage the finish.

Check all pockets for pins, clips, money, bolts, nuts, etc. Do not lay these objects on your washer after emptying pockets.

Interior

Clean interior with 1 cup (250 mL) of chlorine bleach mixed with 2 cups

(500 mL) of detergent. Run washer through a complete cycle using hot water.

Repeat process if necessary.

NOTE: Remove hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled as washer safe.

WATER INLET HOSES

Replace inlet hoses after five years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks are found, When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement on the label with a permanent marker.

WINTER STORAGE OR

MOVING CARE

Install and store your washer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the hoses and pump, freezing can damage your washer. If storing or moving your washer during freezing weather, winterize it.

To winterize washer:

1. Shut off both water faucets.

2. Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.

3. Put 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.4ype antifreeze in the basket,

4. Run washer on a SPIN setting for about 30 seconds to mix the antifreeze and water. Some of the mixture will pump out while the washer spins.

5. Unplug the power supply cord.

To use washer again:

1. Flush water pipes and hoses.

2. Reconnect water inlet hoses.

3. Turn on both water faucets.

4. Reconnect power supply cord,

5. Run the washer through a complete cycle with 1 cup (250 mL) of detergent to clean out antifreeze.

NON-USE OR VACATION CARE

Operate your washer only when you are at home. If you will be on vacation or not using your washer for an extended period of time, you should:

• Unplug the power supply cord or turn off electrical power to the washer.

• Turn off the water supply to the washer.

This helps avoid accidental flooding

(due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.

Most laundering problems are easily solved if you understand the cause.

Check these lists for common laundry and washer problems. If you need further assistance, see service and assistance information on the back cover.
