Whirlpool WFW9640XW Use & Care Guide - Page 16

Delicate Use this cycle to wash sheer fabrics and lingerie. This cycle combines low-speed tumbling and medium-speed spin for gentle fabric care. Darks Use this cycle to wash dark and bright colored garments such as trousers, shirts, blouses or kidswear. This cycle combines low wash water level with warm or cold wash temperature to avoid color fading and color transfer to other load items. Gentle washing and high spin speed makes this cycle a good choice for cotton, as well as easy care garments. Quick Wash Use this cycle to wash small loads of 2-3 lightly soiled garments that are needed in a hurry. This cycle combines fast-speed tumbling, a shortened wash time, and high speed spin to shorten drying time. Clean Washer With AFFRESH™ cycle Use the Clean Washer With AFFRESH™ cycle once a month to keep the inside of your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher water level. Use with AFFRESH® washer cleaner tablet or liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of your washing machine. This cycle should not be interrupted. See "Cleaning Your Washer" in the "Washer Care" section. IMPORTANT: Do not place garments or other items in the washer during the Clean Washer With AFFRESH™ cycle. Use this cycle with an empty wash drum. 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 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 extra 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, like swimsuits. NOTE: For more delicate loads, when using a Rinse & Spin cycle to rinse swimwear, change the Speed Spin Modifier setting to Medium or Low to avoid fabric stress. ■ 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 extra 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, hand washables, and washable woolens should be drained with no spin or low spin speed to avoid fabric stress. Normal Washer Sounds 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 and unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, and 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. Options 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. Available options will glow amber. Current selections will glow green. If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, the light will not illuminate. ■ See the "Laundry Guide" for an overview of possible options for each Wash Cycle selection. ■ You can select more than one option for a cycle. Some options cannot be added to some cycles. For example, Deep Clean cannot be added to the Quick Wash cycle. ■ If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, there will be 3 short tones, and the light for that option will not glow when selected. Delay Wash To begin the wash cycle later, select DELAY WASH until the desired delay time (in hours) shows in the Estimated Time Remaining display, and then select START. The countdown to the wash cycle will show in the display window, and the button indicator will blink until the cycle begins. IMPORTANT: When delaying a cycle, use only powdered detergents in the high efficiency "HE" detergent compartment since liquid detergents may seep out of the compartment during Delay Wash, before the wash cycle begins. TumbleFresh™ option Use this option when you are not able to remove your clothes, soon after the wash cycle ends. This option provides periodic tumbling for up to 10 hours to help freshen your clothes. During this time, the "DONE" indicator remains activated, the door remains locked, and the TumbleFresh™ indicator light will flash. The TumbleFresh™ option will automatically stop and the door lock will be released after this time expires, or if you press CANCEL at any time to unload your laundry. 16
