Kenmore 8526119A Washer User Manual


 
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 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: Use the full time for heavy soil and sturdy fabrics. For light
soil and delicate fabrics, use less time.

This cycle includes a load-cooling process that reduces wrinkling
compared to other cycles. Select up to 10 minutes of wash time.
NOTE: When the timer reaches Pause, the washer will drain and
pause for no more than 2 minutes while some of the wash water
is drained and replaced with rinse water.
Ultra Clean cycle
Use this cycle for most loads to get between 6 and 16 minutes of
wash time.
Prewash cycle
Use this cycle to get up to 4 minutes of agitation to help remove
heavy soils and stains that need pretreatment. Prewash cycle
should be followed by an Ultra Clean or Permanent Press II cycle
with additional detergent added.
Soak cycle
Soak cycle features 4 minutes of agitation followed by an
unlimited soak time to help remove heavy soils and stains that
need pretreatment. You will need to reset the washer to a Spin
setting to remove water. Soak cycle should be followed by an
Ultra Clean, Permanent Press II, or Prewash cycle with additional
detergent.
NOTE: Hot water is not recommended for soaking. It may set
some stains.
When using extra detergent for heavily soiled clothes, or washing
special-care items, you may find an extra rinse and spin is
needed.
1. Set the controls for Water Level, Water Temperature, Rinse
Options (to One Rinse), and Speeds.
2. Push in the Cycle Selector Control (Timer) knob and turn it
clockwise to any of the Rinse settings.
3. Pull out the Cycle Selector Control (Timer) knob. The washer
fills to the selected water level, agitates, drains, and spins.
A drain and spin may help shorten drying times for some heavy
fabrics or special-care items by removing excess water.
1. Set Rinse Options Control (to One Rinse).
2. Set Speeds Control:
For fast spin, use the Heavy Duty setting.
For slow spin, use the Delicate setting.
3. Push in the Cycle Selector Control (Timer) knob and turn it
clockwise to any of the Spin settings.
4. Pull out the Cycle Selector Control (Timer) knob. The washer
drains, then spins.
When the Cycle Control knob is set to a number and pulled out,
the washer fills (to the selected load size) before agitation and
timing start. The washer begins agitating immediately after filling;
agitation occurs with the washer lid up or down.
During agitation, the agitator creates a continuous rollover action
that provides a thorough cleaning of the wash load.
After agitation starts, the Cycle Control knob turns clockwise until
it points to an OFF area and the cycle ends.
NOTE: The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle. These
pauses are normal for washer operation.
