Laundry Guide - Kenmore 4751 - 3.6 cu. ft. HE2 Use And 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 place garments or other items in the washer
during the Clean Washer cycle. Use this cycle with an empty
wash drum.
As with any new product, you will hear sounds that you are not
accustomed to. You may hear various sounds when the door is
locked or unlocked, and during the washing, rinsing, or spinning
process. Between changes in wash actions, there will be
momentary pauses. You will hear water spraying and splashing
during the wash and rinse cycles. These new sounds and pauses
are part of normal washer operation. See "Troubleshooting."
You can customize your wash by adding Options to your cycle
selections. You can add or change an option after starting a cycle
anytime before the selected option begins. Not all Options are
available with all cycles.

; 2nd Rinse
See the "Laundry Guide" section for an overview of possible
options for each Wash Cycle selection.
If an option is available with a selected cycle, the light for that
option will illuminate when selected.
If an option is unavailable with a selected cycle, there will be a
short tone and the light for that option will not illuminate when
selected.
Prewash
Use this option for loads of heavily soiled garments that need
pretreatment.
• Add detergent to the Main Wash Compartment of the
dispenser drawer.
• Use powdered detergent to keep laundry additives from pre-
dispensing into the wash system.
This option adds tumbling time prior to the selected main cycle.
The washer continues automatically from prewash into the main
wash cycle.
2rid Rinse
A second rinse can be used to aid in the removal of detergent or
bleach residue from garments. This option provides an additional
rinse with the same water temperature as the Normal rinse.
Cycle Signal
This signal is helpful when you are removing items from the
washer as soon as it stops. Select ON or OFE
Preset cycle settings of Water Temperature, Spin Speed, and
Rinse Options can be changed. You can change a modifier after
starting a cycle anytime before the selected Modifier begins. Not
all Modifiers are available with all options and cycles.

• To change the spin speed, select the SPIN SPEED button
until the desired setting illuminates.
• To change the water temperature, select the WASH/RINSE
TEMP button until the desired setting illuminates.
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 dryer than cold rinses. Warm rinses
increase wrinkling. In cold climates, a warm rinse makes the load
more comfortable to handle. Cold rinses save energy.

HOT Whites and pastels
Heavy soils
WARM Bright colors
Moderate to light soils
COLD Colors that bleed or fade
Light soils
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
ATC (Auto Temp Control) electronically senses and maintains a
uniform water temperature. ATC regulates incoming hot and cold
water. The ATC is automatically turned ON when a cycle is
selected. See Preset Cycle Settings table in "Cycles."
• ATC works for the wash temperature with Warm/Warm,
Warm/Cold, and Cold/Cold settings.
• ATC works for the rinse temperature with the Warm/Warm
setting.
• The Cold rinse temperatures depend on the cold water at
your faucet.
