WASH CYCLES

END

DEM O

Follow the instructions on the symbols of the garment’s wash care label. The value indicated in the symbol is the maximum recommended temperature for washing the garment.

Mixed

For washing lightly to normally soiled resilient garments in cotton, linen, synthetic bres and mixed bres.

Eco Cotton 60°/40°

Suitable for washing moderately soiled cotton garments. At 40°C and 60°C it is the standard cycle for washing cotton garments, and is the most ecient in terms of combined water and electricity consumption.

Cotton

Normally to heavily soiled and robust cottons .

Synthetics

Suitable for washing moderately soiled garments made of synthetic bres (e.g. polyester, polyacrylic, viscose, etc.) or mixed synthetic-cotton bres.

Delicates

For washing very delicate garments. It is advisable to turn the garments inside out before washing them. For best results, use liquid detergent on delicate garments.

Wool - Woolmark Apparel Care - Green:

The “Wool” wash cycle is approved by the Woolmark Company for washing wool garments classied as “hand-washable”, provided that the wash complies with the instructions appearing on the garment’s label and with those provided by the manufacturer of this washing machine.

(M1127)

Anti Allergy

Suitable for removing major allergens such as pollen, mites and cat or dog hair.

Anti Stain 40°

The programme is suitable to heavily-soiled garments with resistant colours. It ensures a washing class that is higher than the standard class (A class). When running the programme, do not mix garments of dierent colours. We recommend the use of powder detergent. Pre-treatment with special additives is recommended if there are obstinate stains.

White

For washing normally to heavily soiled towels, underwear, table and bed linen, etc in resilient cotton and linen. Only when the temperature is selected at 90°C the cycle is provided with a prewash phase before main washing phase. In this case it is recommended to add detergent both, in the prewash and main wash section.

Steam Refresh

The garments will be damp once the cycle is completed, so we recommend hanging them to dry (2 kg, roughly 3 items). This programme refreshes garments by removing bad odours and relaxing the bres. Insert dry items only (that are not dirty) and select programme “Steam Refresh”. Garments will be a little damp at the end of the cycle and can be worn after a few minutes. The “Steam Refresh” programme makes ironing easier. ! Do not add softeners or detergents. ! Not recommended for wool or silk garments.

Rapid 30 min

For washing lightly soiled garments quickly. This cycle lasts only 30 minutes, saving time and energy.

Bed & Bath

For washing home linen in a single cycle. It optimises the use of fabric softener and allows for saving time and electricity. We recommend the use of powder detergent.

Shirts

Use the special wash cycle to wash shirts in dierent fabrics and colours to guarantee they receive the best possible care.

Spin & Drain

Spins the load then empties the water. For resilient garments. If you exclude the spin cycle, the machine will drain only

Rinse & Spin

Rinses and then spins. For resilient garments.

DISPLAY

The display is useful when programming the washing machine and provides plenty of information.

The duration of the available wash cycles and the remaining time of a running cycle appear in section A (the display will show the maximum duration of the cycle chosen, which may decrease after several minutes, since the eective duration of the programme varies depending on the wash load and the settings chosen); if the DELAYED START option has been set, the countdown to the start of the selected wash cycle will appear. Pressing the corresponding button allows you to view the maximum spin speed and temperature values attained by the machine during the set wash cycle, or the values selected most recently, if these are compatible with the set wash cycle. The “wash cycle phases” corresponding to the selected wash cycle and the “wash cycle phase” of the running wash cycle appear in section B:

Main wash Rinse

Spin + Pump out

References C indicate the wash options available (See “Options” section). The “Start Delay” symbol , when lit, indicates that the set “delayed start”

value has appeared on the display. The symbol indicates the possibility of inserting an additional garments load with the washing program started (See “Adding Garments” section). The symbol indicates the possibility to silence the key tones While the mute is active, almost all sounds will be turned o. Only the sound signals and the alarms remain active, as well as the sound of the end of cycle. For activate/deactivate the mute press and hold button.

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.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washing machine o and disconnect it from the mains power. Do not use ammable liquids to clean the washing machine.

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.

Caring for the door and drum Always leave the porthole door ajar in order to prevent unpleasant odours from forming.

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.

ACCESSORIES

Contact our Technical Assistance Service to check whether the following accessories are available for this washing machine model.

Stacking kit

With this accessory you can secure the tumble dryer to the upper part of your washing machine to save space and facilitate loading and unloading of the tumble dryer.

TRANSPORT AND HANDLING

Do not lift the washing machine by gripping it from the upper section.

Unplug the appliance and close the water tap. Check that the door and detergent dispenser drawer are tightly closed. Detach the lling hose from the water tap then detach the drain hose. Empty all the water remaining in the hoses and secure the latter so that they do not get damaged during transport. Apply the transport bolts back on. Repeat, in reverse order, the transport bolt removal procedure described in the “Installation instructions”.

DESCALE AND CLEAN PROCEDURE

An icon 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.
