Active Care
The detergent, premixed with water, creates an unique emulsion able
to better penetrate the bers of the garments, cleaning stains at even
low temperatures, preserving both colors and fabrics. These results are
obtained also due to the multiple dierent specic movements of the
drum which best take care of the garments.
Powder and liquid detergents are recommended for this option.
Final Care
The washing machine will perform gentle tumbling through slow
rotations of the drum. Final Care option starts after the cycle ends for a
maximum duration of 6h and you can interrupt at any time by pressing
any button on control panel or turning the knob.
I Rapid / Green
After pushing the button for the 1st time, option Rapid is selected and the
cycle duration will be reduced.
Otherwise after pushing for the 2nd time, option Green is selected
allowing more energy saving.
Multi Rinse
By selecting this option, the eciency of the rinse is increased and optimal
detergent removal is guaranteed. It is particularly useful for sensitive skin.
Press the button once, two or three times to select an additional 1, 2 or 3
rinses after the standard cycle rinse and remove all traces of detergent.
Press the button again to go back to the “Normal rinse” rinse type.
Easy Iron
By selecting this function, the wash and the spin cycles will be modied in
order to reduce the formation of creases.
Cold Wash
This option saves energy by not heating the water used to wash your
laundry – an advantage both to the environment and to your energy bill.
Instead, intensied wash action and water optimisation ensure great wash
results in the same average time of a standard cycle.
For the best washing results we recommend the usage of a liquid
detergent.
Prewash
Allows you to perform a prewash.
Temperature
Each wash cycle has a pre-dened temperature. To modify the temperature,
press the “ ” button. The value will appear on the display.
Spin
Each wash cycle has a pre-dened spin speed. To modify the spin speed,
press the “ ” button. The value will appear on the display.
DESCALE AND CLEAN PROCEDURE
i
Reminder on the display will regularly (roughly every 50 cycles) remind
users that is time to run a maintenance cycle to clean the washing machine and
combat limescale build-up and bad odours.
To delete the descale alert turn the knob or push any button (including ON/
OFF button).
For optimal maintenance we suggest using WPRO Limescale and grease
remover, according to the instructions shown on the package.
The product can be purchased by contacting the technical assistance service
or through the website www.whirlpool.eu.
Whirlpool declines all liability for any damages to the appliance caused by the
use of other cleaning products for washing machines available on the market.
TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
Divide the laundry according to:
Type of fabric (cotton, mixed bres, synthetics, wool, garments to be
hand-washed). Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash new
coloured garments separately). Delicates (small garments – such as nylon
stockings – and items with hooks – such as bras: insert them in a fabric bag).
Empty the pockets:
Objects such as coins or lighters can damage the washing machine and
the drum. Check all buttons.
Follow the dosage recommendation / additives
It optimizes the cleaning result, it avoids irritating residues of surplus detergent
in your laundry and it saves money by avoiding waste of surplus detergent
Use low temperature and longer duration
The most ecient programmes in terms of energy consumption are
generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.
Observe the load sizes
Load your washing machine up to the capacity indicated in the
“PROGRAMME CHART” table to save water and energy.
Noise and remaining moisture content
They are influenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning speed in the
spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
For any cleaning and maintenance, switch o and unplug the washing
machine. Do not use ammable uids to clean the washing machine.
Clean and maintain your washing machine periodically (at least 4 times per
year).
Cutting o the water and electricity supplies
Close the water tap after every wash. This will limit wear on the hydraulic
system inside the washing machine and help to prevent leaks.
Unplug the washing machine when cleaning it and during all
maintenance work.
Cleaning the washing machine
The outer parts and rubber components of the appliance can be cleaned using
a soft cloth soaked in lukewarm soapy water. Do not use solvents or abrasives.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer
Remove the dispenser drawer by lifting and pulling it outwards. Wash it
under running water; this procedure should be eected regularly.
Caring for the door and drum
Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours
from forming.
Cleaning the pump
The washing machine is tted with a self-cleaning pump that does not require
any maintenance. Small items (such as coins or buttons) may sometimes fall
into the protective pre-chamber situated at the base of the pump.
! Make sure that the wash cycle has ended and unplug the appliance.
To access the pre-chamber:
1. remove the covering panel on the front side of the machine by inserting
a screwdriver in the centre and sides of the panel and using it as a lever;
2. place a low and wide container under the water lter in order to collect
the residual water.
3. loosen the drainage pump cover by turning it anti-clockwise: it is
normal for some water to leak out;
4. clean the inside thoroughly;
5. screw the cover back on;
6. put the panel back in place, making sure the hooks slot in place before
pushing the panel onto the appliance.
Checking the water inlet hose
Check the water inlet hose at least once a year. If it is cracked or broken, it
must be replaced: during wash cycles, the high pressure of the water
could suddenly split the hose open.
! Never use hoses that have already been used.
ANTIMICROBIAL SEAL
The seal around the porthole door is made from a special mixture
ensuring antimicrobial protection, thus reducing bacterial proliferation
up to 99.99%.
The seal contains zinc pyrithione, a biocidal substance which reduces the
proliferation of harmful microbes (*) such as batteries and mould prone to
causing stains, unpleasant odours and product deterioration.
(*) According to tests performed by the University of Perugia, Italy
on: Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coll, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium digitatum
In rare cases an allergic reaction may be caused by prolonged contact between seal
and skin.
