What's New Under The Lid - Sears Kenmore 110.22532512 Manual De Uso Y Cuidado

Your new washer will operate differently than your past agitator-style washer.
Lid Lock
After a cycle is started, the washer will fill to the appropriate
water level and then start to agitate. The lid will remain unlocked
during the entire agitation portion of the wash phase should
you need to add a garment after this point. The cycle will
automatically pause when the lid is opened. The cycle will
resume once the lid is closed. The lid will lock before the spin
phase begins. After this point, if you need to pause or stop,
you must press the Start/Pause/Unlock Lid button and wait
for the lid to unlock.
To allow for higher spin speeds, the lid will lock and the Lid
Locked light will be a solid red. If the Start/Pause/Unlock Lid
button is pressed, the red light will turn off, indicating the lid
has unlocked and can be opened. The lid will only unlock after
washer movement has stopped. Depending on when in the cycle
you try to pause, it may take several seconds to several minutes
for basket motion to stop and the lid to unlock.
Press the Start/Pause/Unlock Lid button to resume the cycle.
Water Level Options
Set the Water Level knob to the Auto Sensing setting and
the washer will fill to a level that ensures the load engages
the agitator. From this point, the electronic control will sense
the load and determine if additional water is needed. Set the
Water Level knob to the Deep Fill setting and the washer will fill
to the maximum water level.
NOTE: Deep Fill is not available in the Normal cycle mode.
Selecting the Normal cycle with the Deep Fill setting will result
in auto sensing of the water level.
Sensing
When the Start/Pause/Unlock Lid button is pressed, the washer
will fill and begin sensing to determine load size and balance.
Once sensing is complete, the washer will fill to the appropriate
level for the detected load size and then begin the wash phase
of the cycle. If a cycle is paused at any point, the corresponding
cycle status light will slowly blink. Once the cycle resumes, the
cycle status light will return to a solid light.
IMPORTANT:
The lid must be closed before the washer basket fills with water and for the wash cycle to start. If the lid is open and filling stops,
■
close the lid and press Start/Pause/Unlock Lid to complete the cycle.
Rinse options must be set to either One Rinse with Fabric Softener or Two Rinses with Fabric Softener when using fabric softener in
■
the fabric softener dispenser. This ensures that fabric softener is added at the correct time in the rinse phase and is evenly distributed.
If your machine has a Fabric Softener knob instead of a Rinse knob, select the "Yes" option.

WHAT'S NEW UNDER THE LID?

Normal Sounds You Can Expect
At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds
and noises that are different from those of your previous washer.
For example, you may hear a clicking and hum at the beginning
of the spin phase, as the lid lock goes through a self-test. There
will be different kinds of humming sounds as the agitator tests
for load balance or moves the load. And sometimes, you may
hear nothing at all, as the washer determines the correct water
level for your load or allows time for clothes to soak.
Spray Rinse
Select cycles default to a spray rinse. During these cycles,
you will hear water enter the washer as the tub spins,
allowing the rinse water to penetrate clothes. Check the
"Cycle Guide"chart for details.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be marked
"HE" or "High Efficiency." Using non-HE detergent will likely
result in longer cycle times and reduced rinsing performance.
It may also result in component malfunction and, over time,
buildup of mold or mildew. HE detergents should be low-sudsing
and quick-dispersing to produce the right amount of suds for the
best performance. They should hold soil in suspension so it
is not redeposited onto clean clothes. Not all detergents labeled
as High Efficiency are identical in formulation and their ability
to reduce suds. For example, natural, organic, or homemade HE
detergents may generate a high level of suds. Always follow the
detergent manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount
of detergent to use.
Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
