HINTS AND TIPS

Sort your laundry according to

Type of fabric/care label (cotton, mixed fibres, synthetics, wool, handwash items). Colour (separate coloured and white items, wash new coloured items separately). Delicates (wash small items – like nylon stockings – and items with hooks – like bras – in a cloth bag or pillow case with zip).

Empty all pockets

Objects like coins or lighters can damage your laundry as well as the drum.

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 efficient 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.

DESCALE AND CLEAN PROCEDURE

A message on the display will regularly (roughly every 50 cycles) advise the user to run an automatic cleaning cycle to clean the washing machine and combat limescale build-up and bad odours.

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.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

For any cleaning and maintenance, switch off and unplug the washing machine. Do not use flammable fluids to clean the washing machine.

Clean and maintain your washing machine periodically (at least 4 times per year).

Cleaning the outside of the washing machine

Use a soft damp cloth to clean the outer parts of the washing machine. Do not use glass or general purpose cleaners, scouring powder or similar to clean the control panel – these substances might damage the printing

Checking the water supply hose

Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. If damaged, replace it by a new hose available through our After-Sales Service or your specialist dealer. Depending on the hose type:

If the inlet hose has a transparent coating, periodically check if the colour intensifies locally. If yes, the hose may have a leak and should be replaced.

Cleaning the water filter / draining residual water

If you used a hot wash programme, wait until the water has cooled down before draining any water. Clean the water filter regularly, to avoid that the water cannot drain after the wash due to obstruction of the filter. If the water cannot drain, the display indicates that the water filter may be clogged.

Remove the plinth by using the removable plastic partition of the detergent dispenser: push downwards one side of the plinth with your hand, then push the removable plastic partition into the gap between plinth and front panel and pry open the plinth. Place a broad, flat container beneath the water filter, to collect the drain water. Slowly turn the filter counterclockwise until water flows out. Let the water flow out, without removing the filter.

When the container is full, close the water filter by turning it in clockwise.

Empty the container. Repeat this procedure until all the water has drained.

Lay a cotton cloth beneath the water filter, which can absorb a small amount of rest water. Then remove the water filter by turning it out anti clockwise. Clean the water filter: remove residues in the filter and clean it under running water. Insert the water filter and reinstall the plinth: Reinsert the water filter again by turning it in clockwise direction. Make sure to turn it in as far as it goes; the filter handle must be in vertical position. To test water tightness of the water filter, you can pour about 1 liter of water into the detergent dispenser. Then reinstall the plinth.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

Remove the detergent dispenser by pressing on the release button and at the same time pulling out the detergent dispenser. Remove the insert from the detergent dispenser, as well as the insert of the softener compartment.

Clean all parts under running water, removing all detergent or softener residues. Wipe the parts dry with a soft cloth. Reinstall the detergent dispenser and push it back into the detergent compartment.

ACCESSORIES

Contact our After-Sales Service to check if the following accessories are available for your washing machine model.

Stacking kit shelf

By which your dryer can be fixed on top of your washing machine to save space and to facilitate loading and unloading your washing machine in the higher position.

TRANSPORT AND HANDLING

Never lift the washing machine by holding it at the worktop.

Pull out the mains plug, and close the water tap. Make sure that door and detergent dispenser are properly closed. Disconnect the inlet hose from the water tap, and remove the drain hose from your draining point. Remove all rest water from the hoses, and fix them so that they cannot get damaged during transport. Refit the transport bolts. Follow the instructions for removing the transport bolts in the INSTALLATION GUIDE in reverse order.
