PAUSING A CYCLE

To pause the wash cycle, press the START/PAUSE button again. To start

the wash cycle from the point at which it was interrupted, press the

START/PAUSE button again.

OPENING THE DOOR, IF NECESSARY

Once a cycle starts, the symbol turns on to signal that the door cannot

be opened. While a wash cycle is running, the door remains locked. To

open the door while a cycle is under way, for example, to add or remove

garments, press the START/PAUSE button to pause the cycle. If the

symbol is not lit, the door may be opened. Press the START/PAUSE

button again to continue the cycle.

ADDING GARMENTS

An icon on the display will signal when additional garments can be

introduced into the washing machine, without decreasing the washing

performance. To add garments, rst stop the washing machine by pressing

the START/PAUSE button then open the door and insert them.

Press the START/PAUSE button again to restart the wash cycle from

the point at which it was interrupted.

CHANGING A RUNNING WASH CYCLE

To change a wash cycle while it is in progress, pause the washing machine

using the START/PAUSE button, then select the desired cycle and press

the START/PAUSE button again.

! To cancel a cycle that has already begun, press and hold the ON/OFF

button. The cycle will be stopped and the machine will switch o.

AT THE END OF THE WASH CYCLE

This will be indicated by the word “ ” on the display; when the

symbol switches o, the door may be opened. Open the door, unload the

laundry and switch o the machine. If you do not press ON/OFF button,

the washing machine will switch o automatically after about 15 minutes.

OPTIONS

- If the selected option is not compatible with the set wash cycle, the

indicator light will ash accompanied by a buzzer and the option will

not be activated.

- If the selected option is not compatible with another previously

selected option, the indicator light will ash accompanied by a buzzer

and the option will not be activated.

Steam Hygiene

This option enhances washing performance by generating steam during

the wash cycle to remove any bacteria from the bres, which are treated

at the same time. Place the laundry in the drum, choose a compatible

programme and select option Steam Hygiene.

! The steam generated during the operation of the washing machine may

cause the porthole door to become hazy.

Final Care

The washing machine will perform gentle tumbling through slow

rotations of the drum. Final Care option starts after the cycle ends for a

maximum duration of 6h and you can interrupt at any time by pressing

any button on control panel or turning the knob.

Rapid / Eco

After pushing the button for the 1st time, option Rapid is selected and the

cycle duration will be reduced.

Otherwise after pushing for the 2nd time, option Eco is selected allowing

more energy saving.

Active Care

The detergent, premixed with water, creates an unique emulsion able

to better penetrate the bers of the garments, cleaning stains at even

low temperatures, preserving both colors and fabrics. These results are

obtained also due to the multiple dierent specic movements of the

drum which best take care of the garments.

Start Delay

To set a delayed start for the selected cycle, press the corresponding

button repeatedly until the desired delay period is reached. When this

option has been activated, the symbol lights up on the display. To

remove the delayed start setting, press the button until “OFF” appears on

the display.

Temperature

Each wash cycle has a pre-dened temperature. To modify the

temperature, press the “Temp.” button. The value will appear on the

display.

Spin

Each wash cycle has a pre-dened spin speed. To modify the spin speed,

press the “Spin Speed” 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.

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”.
