Modifiers - Whirlpool Duet 461970255001 Use And Care Manual

Delay Wash
To begin the wash cycle later, select DELAY WASH until the desired
delay time (in hours) shows in the Estimated Time Remaining
display, and then select START. The countdown to the wash cycle
will show in the display window, and the button indicator will blink
until the cycle begins.
IMPORTANT: When delaying a cycle, use only powdered
detergents in the high efficiency "HE" detergent compartment
since liquid detergents may seep out of the compartment during
Delay Wash, before the wash cycle begins.
FanFresh™ option
Use this option when you are not able to unload your clothes,
soon after the wash cycle ends. This option provides periodic
tumbling and airflow (aided by a quiet, ultra low energy fan) for up
to 10 hours to help freshen your clothes. During this time, the
"Done" indicator remains activated, the door remains locked, and
the FanFresh™ indicator light will flash. The FanFresh™ option
will automatically stop and the door lock will be released after this
time expires, or if you press cancel at anytime to unload your
laundry.
Deep Clean with Steam
Use this option for heavily soiled loads that need improved stain
treatment, loads with multiple types of stains, or loads you
suspect as having stains, but are afraid may have been missed
(no sorting or searching for stains). When Deep Clean with Steam
is selected, the water temperature of the selected wash cycle is
automatically set to warm. The water will then be slowly heated to
the temperature selected, along with steam, to aid in stain removal.
This option will provide optimal removal of organic stains such as
blood and grass.
Oxi Dispenser
Use this option for optimum treatment using oxygen based stain
fighter products and color-safe bleach. Add the products on the Oxi/
Color-safe section of the dispenser drawer. Selecting this option will
ensure these products dispense during the wash cycle at the proper
time. This option improves cleaning performance with cycles
designed to clean cotton or synthetic fabrics.
NightQuiet™ option
In this option, the washer will sense vibration in the wash cycle and
may adjust the spin speed to lower sound levels generated during
the spin.
Cycle Signal
This signal is helpful when you are removing items from the
washer as soon as it stops. Press CYCLE SIGNAL to select Loud,
Soft, or Off. To activate/deactivate button sound hold cycle signal
button for 3 seconds.

Water 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.
In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C), detergents
do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult to remove.
■ This washer has a Sanitize water temperature that is certified
by NSF International, an independent third-party testing and
certification organization. The certification verifies that the
sanitizing cycle reduces 99.9% of bacteria typically found
on clothing, bedding, and towels, and there is no carryover
of bacteria between loads after the cycle is complete.
Certified to Sanitize
■ The Sanitize temperature provides an extra high temperature
to remove 99.9% of certain bacteria. It is recommended that
you set your hot water heater to 120ºF (49ºC) to ensure proper
performance during this cycle.
■ The Sanitize Water Temp uses high water temperatures.
Please check garment care label to avoid garment damage.
■ In wash water temperatures colder than 60°F (15.6°C),
detergents do not dissolve well. Soils may be difficult
to remove.
■ Only cycles with sanitize wash temperature selected have been
designed to meet the requirements of NSF Protocol P172 for
Sanitizing Efficacy.
