Washer Care - Kenmore 110.29727800 Use & Care Manual

Style 1: With liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some models)
Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser. Pour
n
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 lowest edge in the
dispenser opening.
NOTE: If your unit has a Fabric Softener Switch (on some
models), make sure to turn on this selection when using
fabric softener.
Style 2: Without liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some
models)
In the final rinse only, add fabric softener that has been
n
diluted with 1/2 to 1 cup (125 to 250 mL) warm water.
5. Close the washer lid.
6. Turn the WATER LEVEL
selector to the correct
setting for your wash load
size and the type of fabric
being washed. You may
change the water level
selection after the washer
has started filling by turning
the selector to a different
setting.
On models with Auto Load Sensing, the washer senses the
load size and composition through a series of fills and wash
motion. It then adjusts the water level for the best cleaning
and rinsing performance. It eliminates the guesswork. The
water level is just right for every wash load size.
NOTE: To ensure the washer determines the proper water
level, do not open the lid or stop the washer during or after
the fill.
NOTE: You may notice during a cycle that the wash load is
not completely submerged in water. This is normal for your
washer.
Cleaning Your Washer
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills such as
detergent or bleach from the outside of your washer.
Clean your washer interior by mixing 1 cup (250 mL) of chlorine
bleach and enough detergent to equal twice the manufacturer's
recommended amount for a normal wash load. Pour this mixture
into your washer and run it through a complete cycle using hot
water. Repeat this process if necessary.
NOTE: If your washer has the Auto Load Sensing feature, use the
Bulky cycle.
Remove any hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled as
washer safe.
7. Set the TEMPERATURE selector to the correct setting for the
type of fabric and soils being washed. Use the warmest wash
water safe for fabric. Follow garment label instructions.
NOTE: Your washer may be equipped with a Cool temperature
setting. Using this option will help save energy and also
ensure the detergent will dissolve properly.

NOTES:
Your washer may be equipped with Automatic Temperature
n
Control (ATC). ATC electronically senses and maintains
the temperature in the washtub by alternating between
incoming hot and cold water.
In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C),
n
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. (Optional Step) OPTIONS selector (on some models). For an
additional rinse and spin at the end of a wash cycle, set the
Options selector to 2nd Rinse. On some models, the 2nd
Rinse feature is part of the cycle.
9. (Optional Step) SOIL LEVEL selector (on some models). Each
soil level setting is designed for different types of fabric and
soil levels.
10. Push in the Cycle Control 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 Cycle Control knob to
start the washer.
To stop or restart your washer:
To stop the washer at any time, push in the Cycle
n
Control knob.
To restart the washer, close the lid (if open) and pull out
