Whirlpool W10133484A manual NormalSounds, OptionsandModifiers

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.

Rinse & Spin is useful for:

■Loads that 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 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.

Soak

Use the Soak cycle to help 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, to help improve the removal of set-in stains. Drain without spin assures gentle treatment, even for delicate items.

NormalSounds

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.”

OptionsandModifiers

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.

■See the “Laundry Guide” section for an overview of possible options for each Wash Cycle selection.

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

Delay Wash

Use this to begin the wash cycle later.

■Select DELAY WASH until the desired time (in hours) shows in the Estimated Time Remaining display.

■Select START. The countdown to the wash cycle will show in the display window.

Extra Rinse

An extra rinse can be used to aid in the removal of detergent or bleach residue from garments. This option provides an additional rinse with the same water temperature as in the normal rinse. It is a preset setting for the Whitest Whites cycle. You may select or deselect by pressing EXTRA RINSE.

Prewash

Use this option for loads of heavily soiled garments that need pretreatment.

■Add detergent to the Main Wash Compartment of the dispenser drawer.

This option adds tumbling time prior to the selected main cycle. The washer continues automatically from prewash into the main wash cycle.

Wash Temp

Each cycle has a preset water temperature setting. To change the water temperature, select the WASH TEMP button until the desired setting is illuminated.

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.

The water temperature for all rinse cycles is cold. Cold rinses save energy.
