Maytag bravos w10092824a User Manual

Soil Level (wash time) is preset for each wash cycle. See “Preset 

Cycle Settings” in “Cycles.” As you press the Soil Level pad, 

the cycle time will increase or decrease in the Estimated Time 

Remaining display and a different wash time will appear. To get 

the minimum wash time, press the pad until the indicator light 

next to Light illuminates. This is the shortest wash time available 

for that cycle with the wash options selected.

For most loads, use the time recommended in the preset cycle 

■

■

settings.

For heavy soil and sturdy fabrics, press Soil Level to select 

■

■

more wash time, if needed.

For light soil and delicate fabrics, press Soil Level to select less 

■

■

wash time, if needed.

Auto Temperature Control (ATC) electronically senses and 

maintains a uniform wash and rinse water temperature. ATC 

regulates incoming hot and cold water. The ATC is automatically 

turned On when a cycle is selected. (See “Preset Cycle Settings”  

in “Cycles.”) 

ATC is available with Warm/Warm, Warm/Cold, and Cool/Cold 

settings. The water temperature in the Hot/Cold and Cold/Cold 

settings depends on the water temperature at the water inlet 

faucets.

ATC ensures consistent cleaning.

Heated water consumes the largest amount of energy that a 

■

■

washer uses.

Today’s detergents work well at temperatures above 60°F 

■

(15.6°C).

Use these pads to select or deselect the options for your wash 

cycle. Options may add time to the wash cycle.

The Water Save Spray Rinse option reduces rinse water in the 

cycle. This option is available on most cycles and must be selected 

prior to the start of the cycle. Do not use liquid fabric softener 

with the Water Save Spray Rinse option. Select the Fabric Softener 

option if using liquid fabric softener to assure proper dispensing.

Fabric Softener option must be selected if liquid fabric softener is 

added to the fabric softener dispenser. Fabric softener will also be 

dispensed in the last rinse of the Extra Rinse cycle, if selected. This 

option flushes the dispenser at the correct time in a deep water 

rinse for optimal distribution.

An Extra Rinse can be used to aid in the removal of detergent or 

bleach residue, or particulates such as sand and lint, from the 

load. This option provides an additional rinse with the same water 

temperature as the first rinse. This is the default rinse setting for the 

Whites cycle.

The End Signal produces an audible sound when the wash cycle is 

finished. This signal is helpful when you are removing items from 

the washer as soon as it stops. Select Off, Low, or Hi for volume 

sound.

You can change Cycles, Modifiers, and Options anytime before 

Start/Pause is pressed. Not all Modifiers and Options are available 

for all cycles.

A short tone sounds when a change is selected. If you press 

■

■

and hold the End Signal option for more than five seconds, 

all valid beeps will be eliminated. To turn the signals back on, 

press and hold the End Signal button for five seconds.

 Three short tones sound if an unavailable combination is 

■

■

selected. The last selection will not be accepted.

To return all options and modifiers to Factory Default, press 

■

■

POWER/CANCEL, select Drain & Spin cycle, and then press 

Extra Rinse, Fabric Softener, Extra Rinse, Fabric Softener within 

5 seconds. When done correctly, the 7-segment displays show 

“Fd” for 3 seconds and then unit returns to Standby Mode.

1.  Press POWER/CANCEL once to cancel the cycle. The washer 

will drain.

2.  Select the desired wash cycle.
3.  Select the desired Modifiers and Options.
4.  Press START/PAUSE.
The washer restarts at the beginning of the new cycle.
NOTE: If you do not press Start/Pause within 5 minutes of pausing 

the washer, the washer automatically shuts off.

You can change a Modifier or Option anytime before the selected 

Modifier or Option begins by choosing the desired Modifiers and/

or Options.

NOTE: An error tone will sound if your selection is unavailable.

1.  Press POWER/CANCEL once to cancel the wash cycle and 

drain the washer.

2.  Turn knob to select DRAIN & SPIN.
3.  Press START/PAUSE.

When the spin is complete, the lid unlocks. Items can be removed 

from the washer.

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.

You will hear spin/spray noise throughout the cycle.

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.

This washer does not have a transmission. The motor provides 

direct drive for agitation and spin. You will hear sounds that are 

different from those of a conventional washer.
