Whirlpool Cabrio,- WED7300X Manuel d'utilisation et d'entretien

Cleaning with Less Water

Traditional agitator-style

washing machine

The most striking difference in your new washer is the

low-water washplate wash system. The washer automatically

adjusts the water level to the load size—no water level selector

is needed.

Recommended

maximum load height

When loading the washer with dirty laundry, fill it evenly

around the basket wall. For best results, fill no higher than the

recommended maximum load height.

Automatic Load Size Sensing

Once you start the cycle, the lid will lock, and the washer will

begin the sensing process to determine the correct water level

for the load. This may take several minutes. You will find a

step-by-step description in the "Cycle Status Lights" section.

The washplate moves the load while water is added in small

amounts until the load is wet. This low-water wash method

uses less water and energy compared to a traditional

agitator-style washer.

WHAT'S NEW UNDER THE LID?

As the washer dampens and moves the load, the level of the

clothes will settle in the basket. This is normal, and does not

indicate that more clothes should be added.

IMPORTANT: You will not see a washer basket full of water

like with your past agitator-style washer.

Choosing the Right Detergent

Use only High Efficiency detergents. The package will be

marked "HE" or "High Efficiency." Low-water washing creates

excessive sudsing with a regular non-HE detergent. Using

regular detergent will likely result in longer cycle times and

reduced rinsing performance. It may also result in component

failures and noticeable mold or mildew. HE detergents are made

to produce the right amount of suds for the best performance.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions to determine the amount

of detergent to use.

Use only High Efficiency (HE) detergent.

Concentrated Cleaning

Low-water cleaning means concentrated cleaning. Rather

than diluting detergent as done in an agitator-style washer,

this washer delivers the detergent directly to the soils.

Normal Sounds You Can Expect

At different stages of the wash cycle, you may hear sounds and

noises that are different from those of your previous washer.

For example, you may hear a clicking and hum at the beginning

of the cycle, as the lid lock goes through a self-test. There

will be different kinds of humming and whirring sounds as the

washplate moves the load. And sometimes, you may hear

nothing at all, as the washer determines the correct water level

for your load or allows time for clothes to soak.
