Whirlpool GHW9300PW0 Washer User Manual


 
14
Cycles
Cycles can be selected by turning the Cycle control knob to the
desired cycle. Each cycle is designed for different types of fabric
and soil levels.
Each cycle has a preset Soil Level (cycle time), Water
Temperature and Spin Speed, and may have preset options.
The preset settings provide the recommended fabric care for
the selected cycle.
The preset settings can be changed anytime before HOLD TO
START is pressed. Not all options and modifiers are available
with all cycles. (To change settings after the cycle has started,
press PAUSE/CANCEL, then select the desired settings.
Press HOLD TO START to continue the cycle.)
Sanitary
Use this cycle to clean heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics. This
cycle combines a super hot water temperature and fast speed
tumbling to help ensure the removal of heavy soils and stains.
It is recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120ºF
(49ºC) to ensure proper performance during this cycle. The
Sanitary cycle also helps eliminate 99.999% of 3 common
infectious bacteria, even when no bleach is used. Extra high
speed spin helps shorten drying time.
Whitest Whites
This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled
white fabrics with the addition of bleach. Hot washing
temperatures assure optimal bleach activity. An additional rinse
provides optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residues on
your laundry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer
wash time and high-speed spin to shorten drying times.
Heavy Duty
Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and
heavily soiled garments. This cycle combines fast-speed
tumbling, longer wash time, and high-speed spin to shorten
drying times.
Normal/Casual
Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics, such as sport
shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press
blends, cottons and linens, and synthetic fabrics. This cycle
combines medium-speed tumbling, high-speed spin, and a load
cooling process to reduce wrinkling.
Delicate/ Hand Washables
Use this cycle to clean hand washable and special-care
garments. Similar to the way garments are handwashed in a sink,
the wash action of this cycle combines periods of low speed
tumbling and soaking. Low speed spin reduces wrinkling.
Soak
Use the Soak cycle to remove small spots of set-in stains on
fabrics. This cycle provides a soak time with warm or cold water
followed by drain. Extra water, a short tumbling phase for equal
distribution of the laundry, and a soaking time without drum
movement, improve the removal of set-in stains. Drain without
spin assures gentle treatment, even for delicate articles.
Rinse/Spin
Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines
fast-speed tumbling and high-speed spin. If desired, you can
reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the
SPIN SPEED modifier.
A Rinse/Spin cycle is useful for
Loads that need rinsing only.
Adding fabric softener to a load.
Drain/Spin
Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your
wash load. The spin speed is preset to high. If desired, you can
reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the
SPIN SPEED modifier.
NOTE: Loads of synthetics, delicate fabrics, handwashables, and
woolens should be drained with no spin or low spin speed to
avoid fabric stress.
Preset cycle settings
Each cycle has a preset Soil Level (cycle time), Water
Temperature, and Spin Speed. The preset settings provide the
recommended fabric care for the selected cycle. See chart.
To change the preset cycle settings
Press the selector of each setting until the desired setting glows.
