Whirlpool WFW9620HW Quick Start Manual

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Never place items in the washer that are
dampened with gasoline or other flammable
fluids.
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any type
of oil on it (including cooking oils).
Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS,
located in your appliance's Owner's Manual, before operating
this appliance.
NOTES:
■ Not all features and cycles are on all models, and control
panel appearance may vary.
■ If your model has a touch interface, the control panel
features a sensitive surface that responds to a light touch of
your finger. To ensure your selections are registered, touch
the control panel with your fingertip, not your fingernail.
When selecting a setting or option, simply touch its name.
■ If your model has physical buttons, make sure to press the
button firmly.
■ At cycle completion, your setting and option choices will be
remembered for the next cycle. However, if power to the
washer is lost, the settings and options will go back to the
factory defaults.
Button Descriptions

Touch to power up the washer.
2. HOME BUTTON
Touch this button and the LCD screen will show the home screen,
where you can select your cycle, settings, and options.
3. FAVORITES BUTTON

run cycles.
4. LCD SCREEN
Use this screen to select cycle, settings, options, etc.
Temperature
The recommended wash temperature is preset for each cycle. Some preset
temperatures can be changed. You may select a different wash temperature
based on the level of soil and type of fabric being washed. For best results,
use the warmest wash water safe for your fabric, following the garment label
instructions. All wash temperatures feature a cold rinse.
Spin Speed
The recommended spin speed is preset for each cycle. Some preset speeds
can be changed. Faster spin speeds mean shorter dry times, but may
increase wrinkling in your load. Slower spin speeds reduce wrinkling, but will
leave your load more damp.
Soil Level
The recommended soil level is preset for each cycle. The Soil Level option
allows you to select a Light, Normal, or Heavy soil level setting. Some preset
soil levels can be changed. For heavily soiled and sturdy fabrics, select the
Heavy soil level setting. For lightly soiled and delicate fabrics, select the
Light soil level setting. Lower soil level settings will help reduce tangling and
wrinkling.
Extra Rinse
The Extra Rinse option provides an additional rinse to the selected cycle.
Pre-Soak
The Pre-Soak option can be set for 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 8 hours.
FanFresh ®
The FanFresh ® option will periodically tumble the load after the end of the
cycle for up to 12 hours. Touch FanFresh to activate this option. FanFresh
may be ended at any time by touching the "X" on the touch screen to the
right of the estimated time remaining.
Steam Clean
The Steam Clean option adds additional soak and wash time to many cycles
to help remove tough stains, as well as a steam boost for added cleaning
power. An integrated heater helps to maintain optimal wash temperatures.
See the online "Cycle Guide" for cycles that allow the Steam Clean option.
