Kenmore 110. 2404# Washer User Manual


 
How CATALYST _ Cleaning Action works
1. Before agitation begins, detergent is automatically released
into a special chamber that mixes the detergent with a small
amount of water to create a sudsy cleaning solution.
2. Spinning spreads out the clothes.
3. The cleaning solution showers onto the top of the fabrics. The
solution is pulled through the clothes, and the detergent
enzymes attach to soils and stains, lifting them away.

selected cycle.
NOTES:
For best results, the load should be dry at the star[ of the
cycle.
Stubborn and set-in stains might require additional
pretreatment.
Ultra Clean cycle
Use this cycle for most loads to get between 6 and 15 minutes of
wash time. For heavily soiled clothes, select the CATALYST'_
Cleaning Action cycle and the Heavy Duty speed setting.
Permanent Press I cycle
A load cooling spray rinse reduces wrinkling. Use this 8- to
10-minute cycle for cleaning lightly to moderately soiled
permanent press blends and synthetic fabrics. Choose a slow
spin speed control setting such as Delicate to help reduce
wrinkling.
Handwash cycle
Use this 4-minute cycle for hand washable garments and select
one of the Handwash Speed Select settings for the best fabric
care. The use of a detergent specially formulated for the
Handwash cycle is recommended.
Whitest Whites
Use this wash cycle for loads of white fabrics that need improved
whitening. For the best soil and stain removal, select the blue
oval labeled CATALYST®on the Cycle Selector Control (Timer)
knob and the Heavy Duty setting on the Speeds selector knob.
Bleach is recommended in this cycle to provide outstanding
whitening. Wash time is approximately 19 minutes.
Soak cycle
This cycle features agitation followed by soak time to help
remove heavy soils and stains that need pretreatment. The
washer will drain when the Soak cycle ends. The Soak cycle
should be followed by an Ultra Clean or Permanent Press cycle
with additional detergent.
NOTE: Hot water is not recommended for soaking. It may set
some stains. If using the CATALYST SCleaning Action, use of the
SOAK cycle is not needed.
This section describes the wash/spin speeds you can select with
the Speeds control. Each speed setting is designed for different
types of fabric and soil levels.
