Whirlpool GHW9300PW0 manual Cycles

Cycles

Cycles can be selected by turning the Cycle control knob to the desired cycle. Each cycle is designed for different types of fabric and soil levels.

■Each cycle has a preset Soil Level (cycle time), Water Temperature and Spin Speed, and may have preset options. The preset settings provide the recommended fabric care for the selected cycle.

■The preset settings can be changed anytime before HOLD TO START is pressed. Not all options and modifiers are available with all cycles. (To change settings after the cycle has started, press PAUSE/CANCEL, then select the desired settings.

Press HOLD TO START to continue the cycle.)

Sanitary

Use this cycle to clean heavily soiled, colorfast fabrics. This cycle combines a super hot water temperature and fast speed tumbling to help ensure the removal of heavy soils and stains. It is recommended that you set your hot water heater to 120ºF (49ºC) to ensure proper performance during this cycle. The Sanitary cycle also helps eliminate 99.999% of 3 common infectious bacteria, even when no bleach is used. Extra high speed spin helps shorten drying time.

Whitest Whites

This cycle is especially designed for cleaning loads of soiled white fabrics with the addition of bleach. Hot washing temperatures assure optimal bleach activity. An additional rinse provides optimal rinse performance to avoid chlorine residues on your laundry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer wash time and high-speed spin to shorten drying times.

Heavy Duty

Use this cycle to wash loads of sturdy, colorfast fabrics and heavily soiled garments. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, longer wash time, and high-speed spin to shorten drying times.

Normal/Casual

Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics, such as sport shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press blends, cottons and linens, and synthetic fabrics. This cycle combines medium-speed tumbling, high-speed spin, and a load cooling process to reduce wrinkling.

Delicate/ Hand Washables

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

Soak

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

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.

A Rinse/Spin cycle is useful for

■Loads that need rinsing only.

■Adding fabric softener to a load.

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 speed to avoid fabric stress.
