water level setting. Loads with only a

 

few small items need less wash time.

Proper loading of your washer con-

care and reduces machine noise.

 

•Drop items into washer loosely. Fill to the top of the basket (top row of holes). Do not wrap items around the agitator. Items should move easily through wash water for best cleaning and wrinkle-free results. Items should sink and reappear later.

•Load washer properly and select correct water level setting. Overloading or packing the machine, and selecting a setting too small for the wash load can:

-cause poor cleaning

-increase wrinkling

-create excessive lint

-wear out items faster

(because of pilling)

•Load by the amount of space items take up, not by their weight.

•Mix large and small items in each load. Load evenly to maintain washer balance. An off-balance load can make the washer

vibrate during spin.

•Use a higher water level setting to reduce wrinkling with permanent press clothes and some synthetic knits. These items should have more room to move in the water than heaw items (towels, jeans).

LOADING SUGGESTIONS

For these suggested full-sized loads, set the WATER LEVEL Selector to the

highest water level setting.

Washer specifications

The Kenmore washer is a popular choice among homeowners, offering a blend of advanced technology, efficiency, and user-friendly features. Known for their exceptional performance, Kenmore washers come in both top-loading and front-loading designs, catering to a range of preferences and laundry needs.

One of the standout features of Kenmore washers is their advanced cleaning technology. Many models are equipped with powerful wash action systems that penetrate fabrics deeply, ensuring that dirt and stains are effectively removed. The Triple Action Agitator in some top-loading models provides enhanced motion to deliver a thorough clean, while front-loading washers utilize high-efficiency tumbling to provide a gentle yet effective washing process.

In terms of energy efficiency, Kenmore washers are designed to meet ENERGY STAR standards, helping consumers save on both water and electricity costs. This eco-friendly approach is reinforced with features such as Soil Level, which enables users to customize wash cycles based on the level of dirt on their clothes. Additionally, the Adaptive Wash Technology senses fabric types and load size, adjusting the wash cycle settings for optimal performance.

Kenmore washers also offer a range of wash cycles and options, allowing users to tailor their washing experience to their specific needs. For instance, the Express Wash cycle is perfect for quickly cleaning lightly soiled items, while the Deep Fill option ensures that larger loads have enough water for a thorough wash. Moreover, many models include a Sanitize cycle, which eliminates 99.9% of household bacteria, making them ideal for washing bed linens and towels.

User convenience is a priority for Kenmore, and this is evident in features such as the SmartDispense Technology. This innovative system automatically dispenses the right amount of detergent based on load size and soil level, eliminating the guesswork involved in measuring detergent. Furthermore, many Kenmore washers come with a large capacity drum, accommodating bulky items such as comforters and bedding with ease.

Overall, the Kenmore washer combines cutting-edge features with practical characteristics, making it a reliable option for modern households. With its commitment to efficiency, versatility, and user satisfaction, Kenmore continues to be a trusted brand in laundry appliances. Whether tackling everyday laundry or special care items, the Kenmore washer delivers performance that meets the needs of today’s busy lifestyle.
