Cycle Modifier Buttons - Kenmore Elite 796.4147 Use & Care Manual

HOW TO USE

CYCLE MODIFIER BUTTONS

Each cycle has default settings that are selected
automatically. You may also customize these settings
using the cycle modifier buttons. Press the button for the
desired modifier until the indicator light for the desired
value is lit. The washer automatically adjusts the water
level for the type and size of wash load for best results
and maximum efficiency. Due to the high-efficiency
nature of this product, water levels may be much lower
than expected. This is normal operation and cleaning/
rinsing performance will not be compromised.
A
WASH TEMP
Wash Temp selects the wash and rinse temperature
combination for the selected cycle. Press the Wash
Temp button until the indicator light for the desired
setting is lit.
• Your washer features a heating element to boost
the hot water temperature for Extra Hot settings.
This provides improved wash performance at
normal water heater settings.
• Select the water temperature suitable for the type
of load you are washing. Follow the garment fabric
care labels for best results.
• Cold rinses use less energy. The actual rinse
temperature depends on the temperature of the
cold water at the faucet.
• Cold water is used for all rinse cycles.

NOTE: To protect your garments, not every wash
temperature, spin speed, soil level, or option is available
with every cycle. A chime will sound and the LED will not
light if a selection is not allowed.

SPIN SPEED
Higher spin speeds extract more water from clothes,
reducing drying time and saving energy.
Press the SPIN SPEED button until the desired speed
is selected. Some fabrics, such as delicates, require
a slower spin speed. To protect your clothing, not all
spin speeds are available for all cycles.
The Drain & Spin:
1. Press the POWER button to turn ON the washer.
2. Press the SPIN SPEED button to select the desired
spin speed. For drain only, select the
NO SPIN option.
3. Press the START/PAUSE button. The water will
drain and the clothes will tumble before
the spin routine begins.

SOIL LEVEL
Adjusting the soil level setting will modify the cycle
to allow more time for heavily soiled clothes or less
time for lightly soiled clothes. Press the SOIL LEVEL
button until the desired soil level is selected.

Press repeatedly to adjust the volume of the chime
and keypad tones. You may turn the end-of-cycle
