Modifiers - Kenmore Oasis HE 110.2806 Series Use & Care Manual

Clean Washer
Use the Clean Washer cycle once a month to keep the inside of
your washer fresh and clean. This cycle uses a higher water level
in combination with liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the
inside of your washing machine. See "Cleaning Your Washer."
IMPORTANT: Do not add detergent to this cleaning cycle. Use
only liquid chlorine bleach. Do not place garments or other items
in the washer during the Clean Washer cycle. Use this cycle with
an empty wash tub.

Modifiers

Modifiers allow you to further customize your cycles and save
energy.
Soil Level (Wash Time)
Soil level is preset for each cycle. See "Preset Cycle Settings" in
"Cycles." As you press the Soil Level pad, the cycle time
(minutes) will increase or decrease in the Estimated Time
Remaining display. To get the minimum wash time, press the pad
until the indicator light next to Light illuminates. This is the
shortest wash time available for that cycle.
■ For most loads, use the time recommended in the preset
cycle settings.
■
For heavy soil and sturdy fabrics, press SOIL LEVEL to select
more wash time, if needed.
■ For light soil and delicate fabrics, press SOIL LEVEL to select
less wash time, if needed.
Spin Speed
This washer automatically selects the spin speed based on the
cycle selected. The preset speeds can be set at a higher or lower
spin speed to match the clothes load. Spin speeds may vary by
cycle.
Wash/Rinse Temp
Select a water temperature based on the type of load you are
washing. Use the warmest wash water safe for fabrics. Follow
garment label instructions.
Warm rinses leave the loads drier and more comfortable to
handle. However, warm rinses may increase wrinkling. Cold
rinses may help with wrinkling and save energy.
Temperature Guide
Wash Water Temperature
Hot
Warm
Cold
NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C),
detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.
Auto Temp Control
Auto Temp Control (ATC) electronically senses and maintains a
uniform wash and rinse water temperature. ATC regulates
incoming hot and cold water. The ATC is automatically turned On
when a cycle is selected. (See "Preset Cycle Settings" in
"Cycles.")
ATC is available with Warm/Warm, Warm/Cold and Cool/Cold
settings. The water temperature in the Hot/Cold and Cold/Cold
settings depend on the water temperature at the water inlet
faucets.
■ ATC ensures consistent cleaning.
■ Heated water consumes the largest amount of energy that a
washer uses.
■
Today's detergents work well at temperatures above 60°F
(15.6°C).
