Fabric type / indications on label (cotton, mixed fibres,
synthetic, wool, handwash items)
•
Colour (separate coloured garments from whites, wash
new coloured items separately)
•
Size (wash items of different sizes in the same load to
improve washing efficacy and weight distribution in the
drum)
•
Delicates (place small items – such as nylon stockings –
and garments with clasps – such as braziers – in a laundry
bag or in a pillow case with a zip) .
WASH SYMBOLS ON GARMENT LABELS
The value given in the tub symbol is the maximum
temperature possible for washing the garment .
Normal mechanical action
Reduced mechanical action
Much reduced mechanical action
Hand wash only
Do not wash
CLEAN THE WATER FILTER REGULARLY
•
This is needed to prevent the filter from blocking and
preventing the water from draining correctly .
This indicator will light
•
before you have started a programme
•
when you have paused a programme and the water level is not too high, or the
laundry is not too hot in that programme phase
•
when a programme is finished and the laundry can be unloaded
A message on the display will regularly (roughly every 50 cycles) advise the user to
run an automatic cleaning cycle to clean the washing machine and combat limescale
build-up and bad odours .
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 . w hirlpool .

SAVING ENERGY AND PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT
•

•
Keeping within the load limits indicated in the
"PROGRAMM CHART" will optimise energy, water and
detergent consumption and reduce washing times .
Do not exceed the detergent quantities recommended by
the detergent manufacturer .
Save energy by using a 60 °C instead of a 90 °C wash
programme, or by using a 40 °C instead of a 60 °C wash
programme . We recommend using " Cotton
the 60 °C programme for cotton garments, which is
longer, but uses less energy .
To save energy and time when washing, select highest
spin speed available for the programme to reduce the
residual water remaining in the garments at the end of the
wash cycle .
Pretreat any stains with an appropriate stain remover,
or else dampen any dried-on stains with water prior
to washing, as this will reduce the need to use a high
temperature watch programme .
Use the "Colours 15°" programme for lightly soiled
coloured garments; this will reduce the amount of energy
used to heat the water .
