A NOTE TO YOU
Your Clothes Are Ready When You Are!
Your WHIRLPOOL TM PERSONAL VALET TM clothes vitalizing system is a breakthrough in home fabric care that gets your clothes
ready-to-wear in about 30 minutes (RegularCare cycle). The clothes vitalizer uses a two-stage process (except for the
GENTLEDRY TM cycle. See "Cycle Selection.") that leaves your clothes looking neat and smelling fresh. During the first stage, the
clothes vitalizer, through a patented process, creates a mist of heat-activated formula that is circulated within the clothes vitalizer,
penetrating clothing fibers. The second stage of the cycle is the drying stage. The heating element activates the formula and, in
conjunction with the tensioning accessories, works to remove wrinkles and clean odors.
The clothes vitalizer is safe for virtually all your clothes.* Your clothes vitalizer will not only change how you care for your clothes, it
will change your daily routine. In order to maximize your satisfaction, it is important to know what the clothes vitalizer DOES and
DOES NOT do.
IT DOES: IT DOES NOT:
• Remove wrinkles
• Clean odors
• Reduce ironing
• Reduce trips to the dry cleaners
• Finishes clothes
• Remove visible stains
• Give a pressed look
• Dry clean
Before reading through this Owner's Manual, we recommend that you watch the Use and Care Video if you have not already done
so. The video can be found inside the box that contains the accessories. The video gives many visual instructions on how to use
the accessories, which will help during your first several loads. Some of the material presented in this manual may be easier to
understand after watching the video.
Your clothes vitalizer is designed to be versatile. You will find it is a fast and easy way to care for your clothes. This Owner's
Manual gives step-by-step instructions for achieving the BEST performance. The Body Shaper and Sleeve Shapers (see page 12)
may not be required for every article of clothing, especially on less wrinkled suit coats, blouses and skirts. When you load clothes,
it is important to remember two key things:
SPACING
Having space around the clothes is directly related to
performance. Two articles of clothing will do better than
three since there is more space for the mist to circulate.
TENSIONING
This is required to remove wrinkles. Some clothes will require
fewer tensioning accessories (Body and Sleeve Shapers) while
others will require all of the recommended accessories.
*For fabrics not recommended for use in the clothes vitalizer, see "Fabrics Not Recommended" section. 3
CLOTHES VITALIZER SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

three articles of clothing, best performance is achieved when no more than two articles of clothing are loaded• Maximizing space around
the clothes whenever possible allows the formula to circulate between the clothes, which improves performance.

FORMULA
Explosion Hazard
Use approved formula only.
Do not use any flammable liquids.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death o[ explosion.
Before running your first cycle on the clothes vitalizer or filling the formula containers, apply the formula identification labels that
were included with the PRESIVA* formula starter kit. These labels will identify which formula is in each container. Apply a Soft finish
label to one container and a Crisp finish label to the other container. If you decide to apply a different label in the future, remove the old
label and clean the area thoroughly so the new label will adhere to the formula container.
Fill the formula container with either the Soft or Crisp finish.The container holds approximately 30 oz of formula. This is enough for
approximately 3 HeavyDuty cycles or 5 to 9 RegularCare cycles, depending upon which settings have been used.
IMPORTANT: Look for the PERSONAL VALET TM system seal of approval before using any formula in the clothes vitalizer. If the formula
bottle does not have the following seal, it is not approved for use in the PERSONAL VALET TM clothes vitalizing system.
Using unapproved formulas may result in reduced performance or an increase in nozzle or filter clogging.
25
FORMULA (cont.)
Removing the Formula Container
Remove the container by holding the cap on the container and pulling toward you.
Filling the Formula Container
1. Place container on a flat surface. DO NOT hold the formula container by the white nozzle pack as it will come off.
2. Unscrew the cap.
3. Pour the formula into the container until it is full.
4. Replace the cap.
5. Slide the formula container back into place until you hear a click.
NOTES:
• For best performance, check the formula container fill indicator before each cycle. The fluid level should be above the red circle to
ensure enough formula is available for the cycle.
• Do not leave the formula container empty. This can cause the filter to dry out and clog, which will reduce performance.
26
CYCLE SELECTION
Four cycles are available on your clothes vitalizer. The cycle you choose determines the amount of formula dL,

The HeavyDuty cycle should be
used on cotton, polyester or
linen clothes that are heavily
wrinkled, such as clothes
coming out of the dryer.

3ensed and the cycle time.
GENTLEDRY TM Cycle
The GENTLEDRY TM cycle dries wet
clothes that you would normally line
dry, but it works in a fraction of the
time. Drying time depends upon the
fabric type and the dampness of the
clothes. Use this cycle to provide
additional drying time if your clothes
do not completely dry in the
HeavyDuty or RegularCare cycle.
GENTLEDRY TM
Set GENTLEDRY Time
Cycle Time: 5 to 180 min.
• The Cotton/Poly setting should be used for
cotton, polyester and linen clothes that have
light to medium wrinkles, such as those from
wearing.
• Use the Wool setting for all wool clothing,
regardless of the amount of wrinkles.
• Use the Delicate setting for delicate fabrics
such as rayon, silk and other delicate fibers.
This cycle uses a manual time setting
to dry clothes. After selecting the
cycle, use the up or down button to
change the length of the cycle. This
cycle is safe for virtually all of your
clothes.

• For best results, run cycles that contain clothes made from the same fabric.
* For mixed loads, select a RegularCare setting that corresponds to the more delicate fabric. For example, for a mixed load containing a wool and a silk
article of clothing, choose the Delicate setting on the RegularCare cycle.
• For leather, hang the jacket with the leather side out to care for the leatherand inside out to freshen the liner.
• For clothes with a blend of fabrics, select a RegularCare setting based on the clothing's highest content.

MAINTENANCE
WEEKLY - Clean the interior and exterior
Regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge is all that isnecessary to keep the insideand outside of your clothes vitalizer looking nice and clean.
ANNUALLY - Change the Filter in the Formula Container
The filter at the end of the clear plastic tube in the nozzle pack needs to be changed as the filter becomes clogged with use and reduces the amount of
formula dispensed. You can order filters by calling 1-866-MYVALET and ordering part number 4396216, which contains two filters.
1. Remove the formula
container from the
clothes vitalizer. Empty
formula and place it on
a flat surface.
2. Pull straight up on the
white nozzle pack.
Twisting the nozzle pack
as you pull up will help
remove it.
3. Hold the clear tube
securely with two fin-
gers and pull the old fil-
ter off.
4. Replace the filter with a
Whirlpool approved filter
by pushing the new filter
down onto the clear
plastic tube.
5. Replace the nozzle
pack by pushing the
pack down onto the for-
mula container.
AS NEEDED - Clearing a clogged Nozzle
Yournozzle may be clogged if:
• Dewrinkling performance has noticeablydecreased.
• Odors are not removed.
• Formula level in container is not lower after each cycle.
1. Remove the formula container
from within the clothes vitalizer.
Empty formula and place con-
taineron a flat surface.
2. Pull straight up on the white
nozzle pack. Twisting the
nozzle pack as you pull may
help remove it.
3. Soak the entire nozzle pack in a
sink or container ofwarm water
for 15 minutes.
4. Replace the nozzle pack by
pushing the pack down onto the
formula container.
NOTE: If nozzle does not unclog, call 1-866-MYVALET to order a new nozzle pack, DO NOT insert anything into the nozzle to attempt to clear. This will
damage the nozzle and cause an excessive amount of formula to be dispensed,which may damage your clothes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Will the Personal ValetTM clothes vitalizer clean (dry-clean) my clothes?
It will not remove spots and stains, however our studies have found that the majority of clothes that go to the dry cleaners do not have visible spots and
stains on them. The clothes vitalizer will help you conveniently get your clothes ready to wear by cleaning odors, smoothing wrinkles, and giving your
clothes a neat, clean look and feel.
2. Will it remove wrinkles from my clothes as well as ironing or dry cleaning?
If you are good at ironing - that will probably remove wrinkles better than virtually any other option. Many consumers acknowledge that they are not
skilled at ironing - some will even admit that they manage to iron wrinkles into their clothes.
Thus, if you simply do not like to iron, the clothes vitalizer provides a smooth finish on a wide range of clothes without the hassle of ironing. It will NOT
give a pressed finish or look.
3. Will the clothes vitalizer put creases in items like my dress slacks?
The clothes vitalizer willnot create a crease where there is none, but it may help reinforce an existing crease. Likewise, the clothes vitalizer will not
remove a permanent crease such as one you would find in a pleated skirt.
4. On which types of clothes does the clothes vitalizer perform best? On which clothes will it not perform so well?
Items that are generally harder to iron - such as white cotton dress shirts and linens - may not come out as well as silk and wool items.
You can place special clothes - including leather, suede, and beaded fabrics - in the clothes vitalizer. Simply use the Wool cycle and PRESIVA* Soft
finish formula.
5. Will the clothes vitalizer remove pet hair or lint?
Some things (suchas pet hair and lint) may fall off during the course of a cycle, but the appliance is not designed specifically to remove those items.
Instead, it takes the rumpled, wrinkled items hanging in your closet or coming out of your dryer - and gives them a neat, clean look and feel; it makes
them ready to wear.
6. How difficult is it to get clothes ready for a cycle?
Generally, it takes only a couple of minutes to loadthe clothes vitalizer, and the preparation steps are simple and easy to remember.
7. How many clothes can I place inside the clothes vitalizer?
The clothes vitalizer will hold one to three items. You will get the best performance if you load two articles of clothing. This will give the formula more
space to circulate between the clothes. If you place three garments inside the cabinet, you will get better results with "thinner" items, such as polo shirts
or blouses.
3O
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (cont.)
8. On which fabrics should I use the Crisp and Soft formulas?
The Crisp formula gives a neat, crisp feel to cotton and linen fabrics. You might use it on cotton clothing to which you want to give some form and
substance.
9.
10.
11.
The Soft formulais an all-purpose formula that makes fabrics feel soft, almost like a fabric softene_ It keeps fabrics such as silk, rayon, linen, wool,
and
knitted clothes flowing and draping naturally so they move with you.
Can I mix colors in the clothes vitalizer? Will PRESIVA* cause colors to bleed?
You can place clothes of different colors inthe clothes vitalizer togethe_ The clothes vitalizer and PRESIVA*are completely safe for colorfast clothes.
Can I place different types of fabric in the clothes vitalizer at the same time? Are there any concerns or "watch-outs" with mixing fabrics
inside the clothes vitalizer?
You can safely mix fabric types inside the clothes vitalizer. That said, the appliance offers different cycles for different types of clothes, and for best
results, we do recommend loading clothes made from the same fabric.
Are there any types of clothes that could be harmed by the clothes vitalizer?
We do not recommendthe system for fur, fauxfur,fleece, plastic, nylon, velour,velvet, or pleather (artificialleather). With all otherfabrics- from wool
to silk to even leather - you can use the clothes vitalizer with confidence. It cleans odors, smoothes wrinkles, and gives clothes a neat, clean look and
feel, with a laundry-fresh scent.
