DESCALE AND CLEAN PROCEDURE

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.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.

Clean and maintain your washing machine periodically (at least 4 times per year). Cleaning the outside of the washing machine Use a soft damp cloth to clean the outer parts of the washing machine. Do not use glass or general purpose cleaners, scouring powder or similar to clean the control panel – these substances might damage the printing. Checking the water supply hose Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks. If damaged, replace it by a new hose available through our After-Sales Service or your specialist dealer. Depending on the hose type: If the inlet hose has a transparent coating, periodically check if the colour intensies locally. If yes, the hose may have a leak and should be replaced Cleaning the water lter / draining residual water If you used a hot wash programme, wait until the water has cooled down before draining any water. Clean the water lter regularly, to avoid that the water cannot drain after the wash due to obstruction of the lter. If the water cannot drain, the display indicates that the water lter may be clogged. Remove the plinth by using the screwdriver: push downwards one side of the plinth with your hand, then push the screwdriver into the gap between plinth and front panel and pry open the plinth. Place a broad, at container beneath the water lter, to collect the drain water. Slowly turn the lter counterclockwise until water ows out. Let the water ow out, without removing the lter. When the container is full, close the water lter by turning it in clockwise. Empty the container. Repeat this procedure until all the water has drained. Lay a cotton cloth beneath the water lter, which can absorb a small amount of rest water. Then remove the water lter by turning it out anti clockwise. Clean the water lter: remove residues in the lter and clean it under running water. Insert the water lter and reinstall the plinth: Reinsert the water lter again by turning it in clockwise direction. Make sure to turn it in as far as it goes; the lter handle must be in vertical position. To test water tightness of the water lter, you can pour about 1 liter of water into the detergent dispenser. Then reinstall the plinth. ACCESSORIES Contact our After-Sales Service to check if the following accessories are available for your washing machine model.
