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.

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.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer

Remove the dispenser drawer by lifting and pulling it outwards. Wash it

under running water; this procedure should be eected 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.

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”.
