• Cotton: For normally to heavily soiled and robust cottons.
• Eco 40-60: For normally soiled cotton garments declared washable at 40°C or 60°C, washed together. This is the most efficient programme for energy and water consumption.

• Spin & Drain (Spin + Drain): Spins the load and then empties the water. For resilient garments.
• Rinse & Spin (Rinse + Spin): Rinses and then spins. For resilient garments.

• Silk: For washing all silk garments. Use special detergent for delicate clothes.
• Wool: For all wool garments, including "hand-wash only" labels. Use special detergents and do not exceed the maximum load.

First Time Use

On first use, you will be prompted to select the language. Press the "Temperature" or "Start delay" buttons to select, and the "Spin" button to confirm. To change the language, switch off the machine and simultaneously press and hold the "Key lock", "Intensive rinse", and "FreshCare+" buttons until an alarm is heard. The language selection menu will then be displayed.

Initial Wash: To remove any manufacturing residues, select the "Cotton" programme at 60°C. Add a small amount of detergent (1/3 of the recommended dose for lightly soiled laundry) to the main wash compartment. Start the programme without laundry.

Daily Use

1. Prepare laundry as per "HINTS AND TIPS".
2. Load laundry, close the door, open the water tap, and press "ON/OFF".
3. Turn the programme selector to the desired programme and select options if needed.
4. Adjust temperature and spin speed using the respective buttons.
5. Open the detergent dispenser and add detergent and additives, observing dosing recommendations.
6. Close the dispenser and press "Start/Pause" ▷00. The "Start/Pause" indicator will light up, and the door will lock.

Pause a Running Programme

Press the "Start/Pause" ▷00 button to pause the cycle. The indicator light will flash. If the "Door open" symbol is illuminated, the door can be opened. Press the button again to resume the programme.

Open the Door, If Required

The "Door open" symbol indicates when the door can be opened (before starting and after programme end). The door remains locked during a wash cycle. To open the door during a programme, press "Start/Pause" ▷00. If the water level and/or temperature are not too high, the "Door open" indicator will light up, and you can open the door. Press "Start/Pause" again to continue the programme.

Programme End

The "Door open" indicator lights up, and the display shows "Cycle end". Press "ON/OFF" to switch off the machine. If not switched off manually, the machine will turn off automatically after approximately 10 minutes. Close the water tap, open the door, and unload the machine. Leave the door ajar to allow the drum to dry.

Options

• Incompatibility: If a selected function is incompatible with the programme or another function, a buzzer will sound (3 beeps), and "No Selection" will appear on the display.
• Clean+: Adjusts washing action for different levels of dirtiness:
• Intensive: For high levels of dirtiness and stubborn stains.

Hints and Tips

• Sort laundry: By fabric type/care label, colour (separate whites and colours, wash new coloured items separately), and delicates (use a cloth bag or pillowcase for small items like nylon stockings or bras with hooks).
• Empty pockets: Remove coins, lighters, etc., as they can damage laundry and the drum.
• Dosage: Follow detergent dosage recommendations to optimize cleaning, avoid residues, and save money.
• Use low temperature and longer duration: These programmes are generally more energy-efficient.
• Observe load sizes: Load the washing machine up to the capacity indicated in the "PROGRAMME CHART" table to save water and energy.
• Noise and remaining moisture content: Influenced by spin speed. Higher spin speed means higher noise and lower moisture content.

Descale and Clean Procedure

The display will periodically advise (approx. every 50 cycles) to run an automatic cleaning cycle to clean the machine and combat limescale and bad odours. For optimal maintenance, use WPRO Limescale and grease remover according to package instructions. Contact technical assistance or visit www.whirlpool.eu. Whirlpool is not liable for damages caused by other cleaning products.

Cleaning & Maintenance

• Switch off and unplug the washing machine before cleaning. Do not use flammable fluids.
• Clean periodically (at least 4 times per year).
• Cleaning the outside: Use a soft damp cloth. Do not use glass cleaners, scouring powder, or similar products on the control panel, as they may damage the printing.
• Checking the water supply hose: Regularly check the inlet hose for brittleness and cracks. Replace if damaged. If the hose has a transparent coating, check for colour intensification, which may indicate a leak.
• Cleaning the water filter / draining residual water: If a hot wash programme was used, wait for the water to cool. Clean the water filter regularly to prevent blockages. If water cannot drain, the display may indicate a clogged filter. Remove the plinth using a screwdriver. Place a container beneath the filter to collect draining water. Slowly turn the filter counterclockwise until water flows out. Let water drain, then close the filter by turning clockwise. Empty the container and repeat if necessary. Lay a cotton cloth beneath the filter to absorb residual water. Remove the filter by turning it counterclockwise. Clean the filter under running water. Reinsert the filter by turning it clockwise until it is fully inserted, with the handle in a vertical position. Test for water tightness by pouring about 1 liter of water into the detergent dispenser. Reinstall the plinth.

Accessories

Contact After-Sales Service for available accessories, such as stacking kit shelves to fix a dryer on top of the washing machine.

Transport and Handling

Never lift the washing machine by the worktop. Pull out the mains plug and close the water tap. Ensure the door and detergent dispenser are closed. Disconnect the inlet hose from the tap and the drain hose from the drain point. Remove all residual water from the hoses and secure them. Refit the transport bolts, following the installation guide in reverse order.
