Option Buttons; Accela Wash; Steam Treat; Extra Rinse - Kenmore Elite 796.3155 Series Use & Care Manual

OPTION BUTTONS

Your washing machine features several additional cycle
options that customize cycles to meet your individual needs.
Turn ON the washer and turn the cycle selector knob to
1
select the desired cycle. If the cycle selection is changed
after the options have been selected, all settings will be
changed to the default settings for the new cycle.
Use the cycle modifier buttons to adjust the settings for
2
that cycle.
Press the cycle option button(s) for the option(s) you
3
would like to add. The button will light when that option
is selected. If the selected option is not allowed for the
selected cycle, the chime will sound twice to alert you
and the LED will not illuminate.
Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle. After a
4
brief delay, the lid will lock and the cycle will begin.
NOTE:
• To protect your garments, not every option is available with
every cycle.
• If the START/PAUSE button is not pressed within four
minutes to start the cycle, the control will shut off and all
settings will be lost.
ACCELA WASH
Adding this option reduces the cycle time
while maintaining wash performance
similar to the same cycle without ACCELA
WASH.
STEAM TREAT
Select the STEAM TREAT button to add the
cleaning power of steam to the selected
cycle.
Adding steam to cycles helps provide improved cleaning
performance, giving fabrics the benefit of a deep clean.
The steam option is not available on all cycles.
Turn ON the washer and turn the cycle selector knob
1
to select a cycle that allows the steam option.
2 Press the STEAM TREAT button. The washer will
automatically adjust the cycle settings.
Set any other desired options.

4 Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle.
CAUTION
• The lid may be very warm during steam cycles. This is
normal.
• Do not attempt to override the door lock mechanism or
reach into the washer during a steam cycle. Steam can
cause severe burns.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT STEAM CYCLES:
• Steam may not be visible during the steam cycles. This is
normal.
• Do not use steam with delicate fabrics, such as wool and
silk, or easily discolored fabrics.
EXTRA RINSE
This option will add an extra rinse to the
selected cycle. Use this option to help en-
sure the removal of detergent or bleach
residue from fabrics. Liquid fabric softener, if used, is
always dispensed in the final rinse.
NOTE: You cannot select the EXTRA RINSE option with the
RINSE & SPIN cycle.
DEEP FILL
Use this option if you wish to add more
water to your wash load. This option
is especially useful for large or bulky
loads.
Add Garments
The Add Garments light will illuminate
during the early stage of the wash cycle
to indicate that it is safe to pause the
cycle to add more items.
Once the Add Garments light goes out, additional laundry
should not be added to the load. Doing so may result in
unsatisfactory performance because the washer will not
compensate for the additional garments.
Press the START/PAUSE button to pause the washer.
