Fabric Softener; Energy Saver; Soak; Delay Wash - Kenmore Elite 796.3155 Series Use & Care Manual

HOW TO USE
OPTION BUTTONS
FABRIC SOFTENER
Fabric softener is dispensed in the
final rinse. This washer is designed to
save rinse water by using a jet spray
rinse system (SMARTRINSE) in NORMAL/CASUAL
and HEAVY DUTY cycles. Press the FABRIC SOFTENER
button to change the final rinse from spray rinse
to regular rinse so that the fabric softener is most
effective.
NOTE: Select the FABRIC SOFTENER option or
EXTRA RINSE option if liquid fabric softener is used in
NORMAL/CASUAL and HEAVY DUTY cycles. Failure
to select one of these options will greatly reduce the
effectiveness of the softener.
ENERGY SAVER
This option saves energy by using cooler
water while increasing the wash and rinse
times to maintain wash performance.
NOTE:
• The Steam Treat feature cannot be selected with the
Energy Saver option.
• Wash time will increase up to 50 minutes with the
Energy Saver option.
• For best wash results, only wash small loads (less than
8 pounds) with the Energy Saver option.

SOAK

This option provides up to 180 minutes
of presoaking prior to the start of the
selected cycle. Use the SOAK option to
presoak garments to help remove difficult spots or stains on
fabrics. At the end of the presoak time, the selected cycle will
begin with the same water used for the soak.
DELAY WASH
Once you have selected the cycle
and other settings, press this button to
delay the start of the wash cycle. Each
press of the button increases the delay time by one
hour, for up to 19 hours. Once the desired delay time
is set, press the START/PAUSE button to start the delay
time.
NOTE: If the START/PAUSE button is not pressed to
begin the delay time, the washer will automatically shut
off after four minutes.
RINSE & SPIN
Select this option to rinse and spin a
load separately from a regular cycle.
This can be helpful in preventing fresh
stains from setting in fabrics. You can
change the spin speed by pressing the SPIN SPEED button
Press the START/PAUSE button to turn on the
1
washer.
Press the RINSE & SPIN button.

Press the SPIN SPEED button to select the desired
3

CONTROL LOCK
Use this option to disable the controls.
The washer can only be locked during a
cycle. This feature can prevent children
from changing cycles or operating the
machine. Once the control lock is set, it must be deactivated
before any controls, except the power button, can be used.
Once the washer has shut off, the power button will al-
low the machine to be turned ON, but the controls will still
be locked. When the controls are locked, CL will display
alternately with the estimated time remaining. Press and
hold the RINSE & SPIN button for 3 seconds to activate or
deactivate CONTROL LOCK.

SPECIAL DRAIN FEATURE

This washer is equipped with a special feature that is
designed to make your washer as safe as possible.
If the washer is paused or shut off while there is still water
in the tub, the water will drain after several minutes. This
helps keep children safe by reducing the possibility of
water remaining in the tub. The washer can be restarted
any time before the drain begins.
If no action is taken, the
the water will drain from the tub. Once the washer begins
draining the water, the controls are disabled and the
drain process cannot be interrupted. Once the water is
completely drained, the washer will shut off.
NOTE: In the unlikely event that the washer experiences
a problem that causes an error code to be displayed, the
washer will still drain after several minutes. However, only
the original error code will be displayed.
