What's New Under The Lid - Crosley CAW11544EW Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

What's New Under The Lid?

Cleaning with Less Water
Traditional agitator-style
washer
The most striking difference in your new washer is the
low-water washplate wash system. The washer automatically
adjusts the water level to the load size—no water-level selector
is needed.
For best performance, it is recommended to load garments in
loose heaps evenly around the washplate.
As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the
garments will settle in the basket. This is normal and does not
indicate that more garments should be added.
IMPORTANT: You will not see a washer basket full of water
as with your past agitator-style washer. It is normal for some
of the load to be above the water line.

Automatic Load Size Sensing
Once you start the cycle, the washer will fill to the water level.
When the washer is done filling, it will start to agitate after it
determines the correct level for the load. The washer will then fill
to the appropriate water level based on the load size.
This low-water wash method uses less water and energy
compared to a traditional agitator-style washer.
Choosing the Right Detergent
Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be
marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." Low-water washing creates
excessive sudsing with regular, non-HE detergent. Using regular
detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and reduced
rinsing performance. It may also result in component failures
and noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made to
produce the right amount of suds for the best performance.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount
of detergent to use.
Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.
Concentrated Cleaning
Low-water cleaning means concentrated cleaning. Rather than
diluting detergent as in an agitator-style washer, this washer
delivers the detergent directly to the soils.
Normal Sounds You Can Expect
At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds
and noises different from those of your previous washer. For
example, you may hear a clicking and hum at the beginning
of the cycle as the lid lock goes through a self-test. There will
be different kinds of humming and whirring sounds as the
washplate moves the load. 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.
