Options - Whirlpool GVW9959KT0 Use & Care Manual

Soak
Use this option for set-in stains and soil that need extra time for
removal. Soaking in this washer is different than in a conventional
washer. The washer sprays the load with water and detergent for
4 minutes at extra low spin speed followed by a brief period of
wash action at the speed of the selected cycle. Then another 4
minutes of spraying and extra low spinning occurs. The wash
action then pauses for the detergent to work on the soils. The
SOAK feature is followed by the selected cycle. Using SOAK will
extend your wash cycle by 16 minutes.
Exb'a Rinse
Selecting this option provides a second rinse with the same
water temperature as selected for the first rinse. An Extra Rinse
can be added to any wash cycle.
Extend Spin
This option adds an additional 3 minutes of spin to any cycle to
reduce drying time and save energy. If you select EXTEND SPIN
and do not select a wash cycle, you will get an 8 minute, high
speed spin.
Wash/Rinse Temp
Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are
washing. Use the warmest water safe for fabrics. Follow garment
label instructions.
Warm rinses leave the loads dryer than cold rinses. Warm rinses
increase wrinkling, in cold climates, a warm rinse makes the load
more comfortable to handle. Cold rinses save energy.
Temperature Guide
Wash Water Temperature Suggested Fabrics
HOT Whites and pastels
111 °F (44°C) or above Heavy and greasy soils
WARM Bright colors
90°-110°F (32°-43°C) Moderate to light soils
COLD Colors that bleed or fade
70°-90°F (21°-32°C) Light soils
In wash water temperatures colder than 70°F (21°C), detergents do not
dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.
Assured Water Temp
Assured Water Temp electronically senses and maintains a
uniform water temperature. It regulates incoming hot and cold
water. It is automatically turned On when a cycle is selected. (See
"Preset Cycle Settings" in "Cycles.")
Assured Water Temp is available with WARM/WARM, WARM/
COLD and COLD/COLD settings. HOT/COLD (top) and COLD/
COLD (bottom) are for tap water that is not temperature
controled.

• Assured Water Temp ensures consistent cleaning.
• When using Assured Water Temp on COLD/COLD, warm
water is added to the washer to maintain a termperature of
approximately 75°F (24°C), so detergents dissolve properly.
• Warm washes are regulated at approximately 100°F (38°C).
• Warm rinses are regulated at approximately 75°F (24°C). This
is a cooler warm rinse than you are used to, but it saves
energy and gives proper rinsing. The load is a comfortable
temperature to remove from the washer
Soil Level
Soil Level is preset for each wash cycle. (See "Preset Cycle
Settings" in "Cycles.") As you press Soil Level pad, the cycle time
(minutes) will increase or decrease in the ESTIMATED TIME
REMAINING display and a different Soil Level light will glow. To
get the minimum wash time, press the pad until the indicator light
next to REFRESH illuminates. This is the shortest wash time
available for that cycle.

Adjustable Cycle Signal
A tone will sound at the end of the cycle. The sound level of this
tone can be adjusted by pressing CYCLE SIGNAL. The volume of
tone you will hear at the end of the cycle will sound as the pads
are pressed.
