Prewash
Use this option for loads of heavily soiled items that need
pretreatment. This option adds a 20-minute prewash without
drain to the main wash cycle.
Add detergent to the High Efficiency “HE” detergent
compartment of the Dispenser Drawer.
NOTE: The Prewash option cannot be selected with the Soak,
Express, Handwash/Delicate Rinse/Spin cycles.
Extended Spin
Use this option to add an additional spin to any cycle to improve
drying times for some heavy fabrics or special-care items by
reducing excess water, which may save energy.
Delay Start
To begin the wash cycle later, select DELAY START until the
desired delay time (in hours) shows in the Estimated Time
Remaining display, and then select START. The countdown to the
wash cycle will show in the display window, and the button
indicator will blink until the cycle begins.
IMPORTANT: When delaying a cycle, use only powdered
detergents in the high efficiency “HE” detergent compartment
since liquid detergents may seep out of the compartment during
DELAY START, before the wash cycle begins.
Cycle Signal
This signal is helpful when you are removing items from the
washer as soon as it stops. Select Loud, Soft or Off.
Modifiers
Preset cycle settings of Water Temperature, Spin Speed, and
Rinse Options can be changed. You can change a modifier after
starting a cycle anytime before the selected Modifier begins. Not
all Modifiers are available with all options and cycles. Available
modifier settings will glow amber. Current selections will glow
green. If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, the light
will not illuminate.
■ To change cycle time, select SOIL LEVEL button.
■ To change the water temperature, select the WASH TEMP
button until the desired setting glows green.
■ To change the spin speed, select the SPIN SPEED button
until the desired setting glows green.
Wash Temp
Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are
washing. Use the warmest wash water safe for fabrics. Follow
garment label instructions.
■ This Kenmore washer has a sanitizing temperature, that is
certified by NSF International, an independent third-party
testing and certification organization. The certification verifies
that the sanitizing cycle reduces 99.9% of bacteria typically
found on clothing, bedding and towels, and there is no
carryover of bacteria between loads after the cycle is
complete.
■ The Steam Sanitize temperature provides an extra-high
temperature to remove 99.9% of certain bacteria. It is
recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120ºF
(49ºC) to ensure proper performance during this cycle.
■ The Steam Sanitize temperature uses high water
temperatures. Please check garment care label to avoid
garment damage.
■ In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C),
detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to
remove.
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.
Auto Temp Control
ATC (Auto Temp Control) electronically senses and maintains a
uniform water temperature. ATC regulates incoming hot and cold
water. The ATC is automatically turned on when a cycle is
selected. (See “Preset Cycle Settings” in “Cycles.”)
■ ATC works for all wash temperatures.
■ ATC works for the rinse temperature where the wash
temperature setting is marked with an asterisk, such as
Warm*. All other rinse temperatures are cold, and depend on
the cold water at your faucet.
