Washer Symbols - Whirlpool 3XWTW5705 Use And Care Manual

6. Set the TEMPERATURE selector to the correct setting for the
type of fabric and soils being washed. Use the warmest water
safe for fabric. Follow garment label instructions.
Your washer uses automatic temperature control (on some
models) to maintain a uniform water temperature by regulating
the incoming hot and cold water. This helps eliminate
undissolved detergent and ensures consistent cleaning
results. The Hot and Warm settings on this washer will be
cooler than you are accustomed to. Wash temperatures in this
washer are lower than the temperatures you may be used to in
conventional washers.
NOTE: Make sure that both the hot and cold water taps are
fully turned on, or the automatic temperature control feature
will not work properly.
Water Temp Use For
Hot Whites and pastels
Heavy soils
Warm Bright colors
Moderate to light soils
Cold Colors that bleed or fade
Light soils
NOTE: In wash water temperatures colder than 15.6ºC,
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).
7. (OPTIONAL) Some models have an EXTRA RINSE selector.
For an additional rinse and spin at the end of a wash cycle,
set the EXTRA RINSE selector to ON. On some models, the
Extra Rinse feature is part of the cycle.
8. (OPTIONAL) Some models have an END OF CYCLE SIGNAL
selector. Set the END OF CYCLE SIGNAL selector to ON if you
want your washer to alert you when the wash cycle is complete.
The signal is helpful when you are washing items that should be
removed from the washer as soon as the cycle ends.
9. Push in the Cycle Control knob and turn it clockwise to the
wash cycle you want. Reduce the wash time when using a
small load size setting. See "Selecting a Cycle and Time."
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 Control
knob.
To restart the washer, close the lid (if open) and pull out
the Cycle Control knob.

Adding bleach to models without a bleach dispenser
If desired, add measured liquid chlorine bleach after the washer
starts agitating. Pour diluted bleach around the agitator, not
directly onto the load. Undiluted bleach will damage any fabric it
touches. See "Adding Liquid Chlorine Bleach."
Adding softener to models without a fabric softener
dispenser
If desired, add measured liquid fabric softener to the final rinse
water. Always dilute fabric softener with 125 to 250 mL of warm
water. Undiluted fabric softener can stain fabrics. See "Adding
Liquid Fabric Softener."
