Rinse And Spin; Understanding Washer Cycles; Normal Sounds; Laundry Tips - Kenmore 110.2403 series Use And Care Manual

After using extra detergent in a cycle for heavily soiled clothes, or
when washing special-care items, you may find that an extra
rinse and spin is needed.
1. Set the controls for Water Level, Water Temperature, Options
(to One Rinse), and Speeds.
2. Push in the Cycle Selector Control (Timer) knob and turn it to
any of the rinse settings.
3. Pull out the Cycle Selector Control (Timer) knob. The washer
fills to the selected water level, agitates, drains, and spins.
When the Cycle Selector Control (Timer) knob is set to a number
or cycle and pulled out, the washer fills (to the selected load size)
before agitation and timing start. The washer will not operate with
the lid open. The lid must be closed during operation.
During agitation, the agitator creates a continuous rollover action
that provides a thorough cleaning of the wash load.
After agitation starts, the Cycle Selector Control (Timer) knob
turns until it points to an OFF area and the cycle ends.
NOTE: The washer pauses briefly throughout each cycle. These
pauses are normal for washer operation.

Your new washer may make sounds your old one didn't. Because
the sounds might be unfamiliar, you may be concerned about
them. These sounds are normal.
During washing
When you select a small load size setting, your washer has a
lower water level. This can cause a clicking sound from the upper
part of the agitator.
If you select CATALYST_ Cleaning Action, you will hear a spin/
spray noise at the start of the cycle.
During drain
If water is drained quickly from your washer (depending on your
installation), you may hear air being pulled through the pump
during the end of draining.
After drain and before spin
When the cycle changes from draining to spinning, you may hear
gears engaging.
LAUNDRY TIPS
Preparing clothes for washing
Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of
your garments.
• Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other
items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid
scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim
and ornaments.
• Empty pockets and turn them inside-out.
• Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt.
• Turn synthetic knits inside-out to avoid pilling.
• Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.
• Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.
• Treat spots and stains.
• Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best
results.
Sorting
• Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if
they would normally be washed together. Separate lint-givers
(towels, chenille) from lint-takers (corduroy, synthetics,
permanent press). When possible, turn lint-givers inside-out.
• Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from
noncolorfast items.
• Sorf by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate
items).
Unloading
• Remove clothes from washer after the cycle is completed.
Metal objects such as zippers, snaps, and buckles may rust if
left in the washer basket for a long time.
