Kenmore 110.4493 manual Express Wash, Silk, Ultra Handwash, Extra Cycles, Rinse/Spin, Drain/Spin

Express Wash

Use this cycle to wash small loads of lightly soiled garments that are needed in a hurry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, a shortened wash time, and extra high speed spin to shorten drying time.

Delicate

Use this cycle to wash sheer fabrics and lingerie. This cycle combines low-speed tumbling and low-speed spin for gentle fabric care.

Silk

Use this cycle to clean washable silk garments. (Check label instructions to make sure that garment is washable.) This cycle gently tumbles and drains without spinning to gently clean garments and minimize wrinkling. Because there is no spinning action, garments will contain a higher amount of water at the end of this cycle.

Wool

Use this cycle to clean washable woolen garments. (Check label instructions to make sure that garment is washable.) This cycle features gentle tumbling and low-speed spin to minimize creasing and shrinkage.

Ultra Handwash

Use this cycle to clean hand washable and special-care garments. Similar to the way garments are hand washed in a sink, the wash action of this cycle combines periods of extra low speed tumbling and soaking. Extra low speed spin reduces wrinkling.

Extra Cycles

Extra Cycles can be chosen by selecting the button above the desired cycle.

DRAIN / SPmN

You can change the selection anytime before START is selected.

Rinse/Spin

Use this cycle to get a rinse and spin only. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling and extra high speed spin. If desired, you can reduce the spin speed by selecting the speed you want from the SPIN SPEED modifier.

Rinse/Spin is useful for

•Loadsthat need rinsing only.

•Adding fabric softener to a load using the fabric softener dispenser.

Drain/Spin

Use this cycle to drain your washer or to drain and spin your wash load. The spin speed is preset to extra 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 to avoid fabric stress.

As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not accustomed to. You may hear various sounds when the door is locked or unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, or spinning process. Between changes in wash actions, there will be momentary pauses. You will hear water spraying and splashing during the wash and rinse cycles. These new sounds and pauses are part of normal washer operation. (See "Troubleshooting.")

You can customize your wash by adding OPTIONS to your cycle selections. You can add or change an option after starting a cycle anytime before the selected option begins. Not all Options are available with all cycles.

If an option is available with a selected cycle, the light for that option will glow when selected.

If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, there will be a

short tone and the light for that option will not glow when selected.

•Add detergent to the Prewash and Main Wash compartments of the Dispenser Drawer.

•When using Prewash, do not use liquid detergent in the Main Wash compartment. Use powdered detergent for the main wash cycle (see "Using the Dispenser").
