The actual duration may vary on several factors, such as the temperature and pressure of the incoming water, ambient temperature, amount of detergent, load quantity and type, load balancing and any additional options selected. The values given for programmes other than the Eco 40-60 programme are indicative only.

1. Eco 40-60 – Test wash cycle in compliance with EU Ecodesign regulation 2019/2014.
2. The most efficient programme in terms of energy and water consumption for washing normally soiled cotton laundry.
3. On this cycle, the Autodose system is disabled and is recommended to use powder detergent in the manual dosing department.
   Note: spin speed values shown on the display can slightly differ from the values stated in the table.

For all testing institutes

The automatic dosing system has been activated at the factory for all the designated programs and can be deactivated for each one individually. To use intelligent dosing, fill the dispenser.

Note

• If you change the liquid detergent or fabric softener, empty and clean the dispenser beforehand.
• Pour liquid detergent (Detergent) and fabric softener (Softener) into the relevant dispensers every time the related icon shows showing empty level.

Steam Hygiene
This option enhances washing performance by generating steam during the wash cycle to remove any bacteria from the fibres, which are treated at the same time. Place the laundry in the drum, choose a compatible programme and select the option Steam Hygiene. The steam generated during the operation of the washing machine may cause the porthole door to become hazy.

WaterSave
The new WaterSave Technology is designed to protect your garments while ensuring extraordinary savings of water. When WaterSave is turned on, a stream of water is released from the top of the drum and distributed through your garments evenly: the result is a thorough wash even at low temperatures, to always wash your clothes only using the right amout of water.

FreshCare
This option is designed to keep your garments fresh for up to 6 hours after the cycle is over. The Innovative FreshCare+ system takes care of your garments inside the washing machine with a delicate steaming and tumbling action FreshCare+ system gently massages the laundry with regular slow movements alternated with steam actions – letting air circulate inside the fibres to keep garments fresh and prevent bad odours.  FreshCare+ treatment leaves truly fresher clothes and peace of mind – even hours after the end of the cycle. FreshCare+ treatment inhibits the proliferation of the main bad odour sources (inside the washing machine) up to 6 hours after the washing ends.

Rapid
Select this option to reduce the cycle time. This cycle is suggested for washing light-soiled clothes.

Multi Rinse
By selecting this option, the efficiency 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. 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, intensified wash action and water optimisation ensure great wash results in the same average time as a standard cycle. For the best washing results, we recommend the usage of a liquid detergent. Prewash Allows you to perform the prewash only if the AutoDose system has been selected.

Spin
Each wash cycle has a pre-defined spin speed. To modify the spin speed, press the “ ” button. The value will appear on the display.

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. For optimal maintenance, we suggest running an empty cycle “Cotton” at a minimum of 60°C without pre-wash and using WPRO Limescale and grease remover. 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. To delete the descale alert turn the knob or push any button (including the ON/OFF button).

TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
Divide the laundry according to the type of fabric (cotton, mixed fibres, 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, avoids irritating residues of surplus detergent in your laundry and saves money by avoiding the waste of surplus detergent.

Use low temperature and longer duration
The most efficient programs 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

Before performing cleaning and maintenance, switch the washing machine off and disconnect it from the main power. Do not use flammable liquids to clean the washing machine. Clean and maintain your washing machine periodically (at least 4 times per year). Disconnect the water and power 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.

Clean 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.

Clean the detergent dispenser drawer
Wash it under running water; this operation should be repeated frequently.

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

Check 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.

Cleaning the drain pump filter / draining residual water
Switch off and unplug the washing machine, before cleaning the drain pump filter or draining residual water. If you use a hot wash programme, wait until the water has cooled down before draining any water.

Clean the drain pump filter regularly, to avoid the water cannot drain after the wash due to obstruction of the filter. If the water cannot drain, the display indicates that the drain pump filter may be clogged.

1. Power Off and unplug the washing machine from the electrical outlet.
2. Gently press the top area of the filter cover to open.
3. Place a container close to the pump to collect any spillage.
4. Stretch the “emergency drain hose” to the container.
5. Turn the stopper of the “emergency drain hose” at the end of the hose and let the water flow into the container.
6.  Turn the exhaust filter handle and pull it out of the housing. When the container is full of water, plug the stopper into the hose end, and reinsert the small hose in the washing machine’s base. After, empty the container.
7. Afterwards firmly close the emergency drain hose with the stopper.
8. Remove filter: Lay a cotton cloth beneath the drain pump filter, which can absorb a small amount of water. Then remove the drain pump filter by turning it out anticlockwise.
9.  Clean the drain pump filter: remove residues in the filter and clean it under running water.
10.  Insert the drain pump filter: Reinsert the drain pump filter again by turning it in a clockwise direction. Make sure to turn it in as far as it goes; the filter handle must be in a vertical position. To test the water tightness of the drain pump filter, you can pour about 1 litre of water into the detergent dispenser.
