Clean Washer; Add Garments; Energy Saver - Kenmore 796.4130 Manual De Uso Y Cuidado

HOW TO USE

CLEAN WASHER

Detergent residue can build up in the
wash drum over time and can lead to
a mildewy or musty smell. The
CLEAN WASHER cycle is specially designed to remove
this buildup using bleach or another cleaner designed
specifically for cleaning front load washers. Run the
CLEAN WASHER cycle once a month, or more often
under heavy use conditions or if odor is present.
See complete instructions in the CARE AND CLEANING
section.
1
Turn ON the washer and press and hold the ACCELA
WASH button for three seconds. Selecting any other
cycle after CLEAN WASHER has been selected will
cause the CLEAN WASHER cycle to be cancelled.
2
Fill the bleach dispenser to the MAX line with liquid
chlorine bleach. Do not overfill the bleach dispenser.
Overfilling will cause the bleach to dispense immediately.
NOTE: For other drum cleaning products, follow
the cleaner manufacturer's instructions and
recommendations. For powdered cleaning products,
add the cleaner to the main wash compartment of
the dispenser drawer. Place tablet cleaners directly
into the drum.
3
Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle.
4
After the cycle has ended, secure the door slightly
ajar with the door magnet. This will promote air
circulation and allow the interior of the machine to
dry. To use this feature, close the door just until it
contacts the door magnet.
NOTE: Do NOT use this cycle with clothes, and do
NOT add detergent or fabric softener.

ADD GARMENTS

Use this function to add garments or
remove foreign objects like coins or
keys after the cycle has started.
1
Press ADD GARMENTS. The cycle pauses and the
door unlocks.
2
Open the door, add garments or remove foreign
objects, and close the door.
3
Press START/PAUSE to restart the cycle. The cycle
continues automatically.
NOTE:
• After checking the water level/temperature conditions
for safety, the door unlocks once the wash movement
has stopped. (Door Lock LED turns off.)
- This may take several seconds depending on the
water level. When a lot of water is in the tub, the
door unlocks after water drains to a safe level.
- If the temperature in the tub is higher than 113°F
(45°C), a short warning chime sounds and ADD
GARMENTS is NOT allowed for safety.
• ADD GARMENTS is disabled during the CLEAN
WASHER cycle for safety.
• To preserve wash performance, wash time may be
extended depending on when garments are added to
a cycle.
WARNING:
• Be careful when opening the door as wet laundry may
drip or fall out when the door is opened.
• Do not attempt to force the door to open when locked.
Doing so could result in damage to the machine,
malfunction, or personal injury.
• Make sure the area around the door seal is clear
before closing the door. If laundry gets caught between
the door and the seal, it can damage the rubber
gasket and may result in leaking.
AUTO SOAK
Use the AUTO SOAK option to
presoak garments to help remove
difficult spots or stains on fabric. This
option provides a 30-minute presoak prior to the start of
the selected cycle. At the end of the presoak time, the
selected cycle will use the same water.
To use the AUTO SOAK feature, press and hold the
STEAM TREAT button for three seconds.
STAY FRESH
This feature helps keep wrinkles from
setting in clothes and helps keep them
fresh if they are not removed from the
washer as soon as the cycle is complete. Press and hold
the ADD GARMENTS button for three seconds to tumble
the clothes intermittently and circulate fresh air through
the drum for up to eight hours. Press the POWER button
or the START/PAUSE button to remove clothes at any time.

ENERGY SAVER

This option saves energy by using
cooler water while increasing the
wash and rinse times to maintain
wash performance. This feature is only available with
the NORMAL/ CASUAL and HEAVY DUTY cycles as
listed below.
To use the Energy Saver option, press and hold the PRE
WASH button for three seconds.
• NORMAL/CASUAL – Hot becomes Warm
• NORMAL/CASUAL – Warm becomes Cold
• HEAVY DUTY – Hot becomes Warm
