Kenmore 110.4292 manual 2nd Rinse, Extended Spin, Temperature Guide, Temperature Suggested Fabrics

Stain Treat

Use this option for heavily soiled loads that need improved stain treatment. When Stain Treat is selected, the water temperature of the selected wash cycle is automatically set to warm. The water will then be heated to a hot water temperature to aid in stain removal. This option will provide optimal removal of organic stains such as blood.

NOTE: If Stain Treat is selected with the Sanitary cycle, the water will be heated to a very hot temperature.

Auto Soak

Use the Auto Soak option for loads of heavily soiled cotton, linen, polyester or nylon with set-in stains. During Auto Soak, water will be added to the drum and the laundry will be equally distributed by a short tumbling phase. Laundry will then be soaked by phases without drum movement. After soaking, the washer drains without spinning.

Added to a Wash Cycle: A 30 minute soak time is added to the main wash cycle to improve removal of set-in stains.

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

NOTE: The Auto Soak and Prewash options cannot be selected in the same cycle. Use powdered detergent for the main wash cycle because liquid detergent will seep into the washer during Auto Soak.

2.Select a Wash Cycle.

3.Select AUTO SOAK.

NOTE: For cycles with hot wash temperatures, the soak temperature will be set to warm; otherwise, the soak temperature will be the same as the wash temperature.

4.Select and hold START (approximately 1 second). After soaking, the washer drains and the wash cycle starts.

Without a Wash Cycle: Provides a soak time with warm or cold water followed by drain.

1.Add detergent only to the Prewash compartment of the Dispenser Drawer.

2.Select DRAIN/SPIN or RINSE/SPIN first, then AUTO SOAK.

3.Choose the desired soak temperature.

4.Select and hold START (approximately 1 second).

2nd Rinse

A second rinse can be used to ensure the removal of detergent or bleach residue from garments. This option provides an additional rinse with the same water temperature as the first rinse.

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.

Preset cycle settings of Water Temperature, Wash/Rinse, and Spin Speed 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.

Wash/Rinse 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.

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.
