Modifiers - Whirlpool Duet Steam FRONT-LOADING AUTOMATIC WASHER Use & Care Manual

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.
Clean Washer Reminder
The Clean Washer Reminder light illuminates to remind you to
use the Clean Washer cycle regularly. The reminder light will
illuminate every 30 cycles. The reminder light may be reset by
either running the Clean Washer cycle, or by pressing the CLEAN
WASHER RESET button.
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 when using an oxygen based stain fighter or
color-safe bleach in the dispenser. Selecting this option will delay
the addition of these products into the wash cycle and improve
their effectiveness.
Add using the "Oxi / Color-safe bleach" section of the dispenser
drawer.
Extra Rinse
An extra 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 first rinse.
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.
Button Sound
Button sounds are used to notify you of what has been selected
or to let you know when something is not available. Press
BUTTON SOUND to select Loud, Soft or Off.

Modifiers

Preset cycle settings of Water Temperature, Spin Speed, and Soil
Level 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 cycles and options. Available
options will glow amber. Current selections will glow green. If a
modifier is unavailable with a selected cycle, the light will not
illuminate.
NOTE: The panel shown below may be different from that of your
model.
To change the water temperature, select the WATER TEMP
button until the desired setting glows green.
To change the spin speed, select the SPIN SPEED button
until the desired setting glows green.
To change cycle time, select SOIL LEVEL button until the
desired setting glows green.
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.
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.
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.
6TH SENSE™ Technology
The 6TH SENSE™ Technology control electronically senses and
maintains a uniform water temperature. 6TH SENSE™
Technology control regulates incoming hot and cold water. 6TH
SENSE™ Technology control is automatically turned on when a
cycle is selected. See "Preset Cycle Settings" in "Cycles." 6TH
SENSE™ Technology control ensures consistent cleaning.
6TH SENSE™ Technology control works for all wash
temperature settings.
6TH SENSE™ Technology works for the rinse temperature
where the wash temperature setting is marked with an
asterisk, such as Warm*. All other rinse temperatures are
cold.
