Cycle Settings - Frigidaire Affinity FAFS4473L Use And Care Manual

Cycle Settings

For best results
Follow the fabric care label instructions
on items to be dried.
Appropriate wash temperature, spin speeds, soil level and
options will automatically be displayed for each cycle. The
settings can be changed before the cycle is started.
WASH WATER TEMPERATURE
To change the preset temperature, press the Temp
button to scroll to the desired setting. Select a
wash water temperature according to fi ber content,
colorfastness and soil level. A cold water rinse saves
energy and reduces wrinkling.
To protect your fabrics, not all temperatures are available
with every cycle. The indicator will not light if the setting
is not available with that cycle.
The temperature selected for the cycle will be
remembered and recalled each time that cycle is selected
in the future.
NOTE
To change the temperature once the cycle has begun,
press the Pause button, make the new selection and
press Start again.
Auto Temp wash water temperatures are automatically
regulated to maximize detergent effectiveness and
improve washing performance. The water heater setting
and its distance from the washer, water usage in other
parts of the home, and seasonally low ground water
temperature in some geographic areas can affect water
temperature.
Sanitize
This setting sanitizes heavily soiled colorfast fabrics
such as towels, bedding, and children's clothing by
killing 99.9% of bacteria using wash water heated with
a boost heater to 152° F (67° C). Cold water is used to
cool and rinse the load.
To return to factory
settings, press these
two buttons at the
same time and
hold until the signal
sounds.

Washers
Auto Temp Hot
Use this setting for heavily soiled white or colorfast
cottons and blends.
Auto Temp Warm
Use this setting for normally soiled white or colorfast
cottons or blends.
Auto Temp Cold
Some warm water will automatically blend with cold
tap supply to achieve a precise Auto Temp Cold. Use
this setting for lightly soiled non-colorfast items, knits,
delicates, and hand washables.
Cold Water Clean
Wash and rinse temperatures are equivalent to
temperature of cold tap supply. Use this selection for
fabrics and colors that are prone to dye transfer. For
use with cold water detergents.
SPIN SPEED
Max, High, Medium and Low spin speeds are available
for each cycle. The spin speed and/or duration of fi nal
spin vary from model to model and cycle to cycle.
Increasing the spin speed will extract more water,
decrease drying time and conserve energy. Decreasing
the spin speed will reduce wrinkling.
Select Low spin speed to gently spin items that should
be line dried.
Use No Spin to omit the fi nal spin at the end of the
cycle. The load will be very wet. Remove items from the
wash drum to drip dry or select a Spin Only or Rinse
and Spin cycle to remove excess water at a more
convenient time.
SOIL LEVEL
Adjust the wash time in 3-minute increments based on
the soil level of each load. Max, Heavy, Normal, Light
and Extra Light soil levels are available.
