Whirlpool W10113000A manual Modifiers

Normal

Use this cycle for normally soiled cottons and mixed fabric loads. Cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin.

Casual/Perm Press

Use this cycle to wash loads of no-iron fabrics such as sport shirts, blouses, casual business clothes, permanent press and blends. This cycle uses medium-speed wash action, a low-speed spin and a cool down process to reduce wrinkling.

Colors/Darks

Use this cycle for lightly soiled, dark or highly dyed natural fabrics such as cotton that may be susceptible to dye loss. Cycle uses low to medium-speed wash action and high-speed spin. For best results use cold or warm water.

Quick Wash

Use this cycle to wash small, lightly soiled loads that are needed in a hurry. This short cycle combines high-speed wash action and high-speed spin for the best cleaning and shortened dry times.

Wool

This cycle combines low-speed wash and low- speed spin action to clean items labeled as “Machine Washable Wool” on the garment care label. Pre Soak and Deep Clean options are not available in this cycle.

Delicate/Handwash

Use this cycle to wash lightly soiled garments indicating “Machine Washable Silks” or “Gentle” cycle on the care label. This cycle uses intermittent low speed wash action and low- speed spin for optimal fabric care.

When washing waterproof items, such as plastic-lined mattress pads, shower curtains, tarpaulin (tarps) or waterproof or water- resistant sleeping bags, use the Delicate or Handwash cycle with the lowest spin speed setting available for the washer model that you have.

Garments are labeled “Hand Wash” because:

■The fiber construction may be sensitive to wash action.

■The fabric contains sensitive dyes that may bleed.

Soak

This cycle is preset for a 41-minute cycle and soak time can be adjusted according to your needs by selecting Soil Level. After the selected soak period has ended, the washer will drain but does not spin the load.

NOTE: Automatic bleach dispensing is not part of the soak cycle.

Rinse & Spin

Use this option to get a deep rinse followed by a high-speed spin. The time display will include an estimate of how long it will take to fill and drain the washer.

When to use Rinse & Spin:

■For loads that need rinsing only.

■For completing a cycle after the power has been off.

To use or change Rinse & Spin setting:

1.Turn knob to RINSE & SPIN until the Rinse & Spin indicator light glows.

2.Press START.

Drain & Spin

An extra drain and spin may help shorten drying times for some heavy fabrics or special-care items. Drain & Spin may also be used for draining the washer after canceling a cycle or completing a cycle after a power failure.

To use or change Drain & Spin setting:

1.Turn knob to DRAIN & SPIN until the Drain & Spin indicator light glows.

2.Press START.

Clean Washer

Use the Clean Washer cycle once a month to keep the inside of your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher water level in combination with liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of your washing machine. See “Cleaning Your Washer.”

IMPORTANT: Do not add detergent to this cleaning cycle. Use only liquid chlorine bleach. Do not place garments or other items in the washer during the Clean Washer cycle. Use this cycle with an empty wash tub.

Modifiers

Modifiers allow you to further customize your cycles and save energy.

Soil Level

Soil level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. See “Preset Cycle Settings” in “Cycles.” As you press the Soil Level pad, the cycle time (minutes) will increase or decrease in the Estimated Time Remaining display and a different wash time will appear. To get the minimum wash time, press the pad until the indicator light next to Light illuminates. This is the shortest wash time available for that cycle.

■For most loads, use the time recommended in the preset cycle settings.

■For heavy soil and sturdy fabrics, press Soil Level to select more wash time, if needed.

■For light soil and delicate fabrics, press Soil Level to select less wash time, if needed.

Spin Speed

This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the cycle selected. The preset speeds can be changed. Spin speeds may vary by cycle.
