Amana W10092679 Wash Temp Suggested Fabrics Hot, Warm, Cool, Cold, To stop or restart your washer

Style 1: With liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some models)

■Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser. Pour measured liquid fabric softener into the dispenser. Softener is added automatically during the rinse portion of the cycle. Dilute liquid fabric softener by filling the dispenser with warm water until liquid reaches the underside of the rim. See max fill line arrows.

Style 2: Without liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some models)

■In the final rinse only, add fabric softener that has been diluted with ¹⁄₂ to 1 cup (125 to 250 mL) warm water.

5.Close the washer lid. Washer will not agitate or spin with the lid open.

6.Turn the LOAD SIZE or WATER LEVEL selector to the correct setting for your wash load and the type of fabric being washed.

■You may change the load size or water level selection after the washer has started filling by turning the selector to a different setting.

■On models with a variable Load Size or Water Level control, you should turn the knob to RESET, then to desired setting.

7.Select a Wash Temperature based on the type of fabric and soil being washed. Use the warmest wash water safe for the fabric. Follow garment label instructions.

The Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) (on some models) electronically senses and maintains a uniform water temperature by regulating incoming hot and cold water.

■Even in Cool wash, some warm water is let into the washer to maintain a minimum temperature of approximately 70ºF (21ºC).

Care Control Temps (on some models) uses Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) to electronically sense and maintain a uniform water temperature by regulating incoming hot and cold water. Care Control Temps provides higher wash temperatures for the more aggressive, heavy-duty cycles and slightly lower temperatures on cycles for delicate and hand wash items, to provide better fabric care.

Temperature Guide

Wash Temp	Suggested Fabrics
Hot	Whites and pastels
Care Control	Durable garments
	Heavy soils
Warm	Bright colors
Care Control	Moderate to light soils
Cool	Colors that bleed or fade
	Light soils
Cold	Dark colors that bleed or fade
	Light soils

NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C), detergents do not dissolve well. Soils can be difficult to remove. Some fabrics can retain wear wrinkles and have increased pilling (the formation of small lint-like balls on the surface of garments).

8.You can customize your wash by adding rinse Options to your cycle selections. This knob has settings for:

■Extra Rinse - Selecting this option provides a second rinse. An Extra Rinse can be added to any wash cycle.

■Cycle Signal - A tone will sound at the end of the cycle. The sound level cannot be adjusted.

■Extra Rinse & Cycle Signal - This option combines both a Extra Rinse and a Cycle Signal at the end of the wash cycle.

9.Fabric Select (on some models). Each fabric setting is designed for different types of fabric and soil levels.

The Fabric Sense™ System (on some models) is an integrated set of controls which work together to provide optimal wash temperatures, agitation times, and agitation/spin speeds based on the Fabric Select setting. The controls provides higher wash temperatures for more aggressive, heavy-duty cycles and slightly lower temperatures on cycles for delicate and hand wash items, to provide better fabric care. The timer knob allows you to decrease agitation time for light soils and increase agitation time for heavy soils.

10.Push in the Timer knob and turn it clockwise to the wash cycle you want. Reduce the wash time when using a small water level setting. Pull out the Timer knob to start the washer.

To stop or restart your washer:

■To stop the washer at any time, push in the Timer knob.

■To restart the washer, close the lid (if open) and pull out the Timer knob.
