Whirlpool Cabrio,- WED7300X Manual de utilização e cuidados

Preparing clothes for washing

Follow these recommendations to help you prolong the life of

your garments.

Close zippers, snaps, and hooks to avoid snagging other

items. Remove pins, buckles, and other hard objects to avoid

scratching the washer interior. Remove non-washable trim

and ornaments.

Empty pockets and turn them inside out.

Turn down cuffs; brush away lint and dirt.

Turn synthetic knits inside out to avoid pilling.

Tie strings and sashes so they will not tangle.

Mend tears, loose hems, and seams.

Treat spots and stains.

Stained or wet garments should be washed promptly for best

results.

Cleaning Your Washer

Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills such as

detergent or bleach from the outside of your washer.

Clean your washer interior with 1 cup (250 mL) of chlorine bleach.

Pour this into your washer and run it through a complete cycle

using hot water, super water level. Select the Super Load Size.

Repeat this process if necessary.

Remove any hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled as

washer safe.

Water Inlet Hoses

Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose

failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges,

kinks, cuts, wear or leaks are found.

When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement

on the label with a permanent marker.

LAUNDRY TIPS

Sorting

Separate heavily soiled items from lightly soiled ones, even if

they would normally be washed together. Separate lint-givers

(towels, chenille) from lint-takers (corduroy, synthetics,

permanent press). When possible, turn lint-givers inside out.

Separate dark colors from light colors, colorfast items from

noncolorfast items.

Sort by fabric and construction (sturdy cottons, knits, delicate

items).

When washing waterproof/water-resistant items, such as

plastic-lined mattress pads, shower curtains, tarpaulins,

jackets or sleeping bags, use one of the following cycles:

Wrinkle Control, Delicate, Handwash, Colors/Jeans, or

Whites.

Cycle Options

For additional performance and enhancements to desired

cycle, select options such as Stain Cycle, Pre Soak, Fabric

Softener and 2nd Rinse.

Unloading

Remove clothes from washer after the cycle is completed.

Metal objects such as zippers, snaps, and buckles may rust if

left in the washer basket for a long time.

WASHER CARE

Install and store your washer where it will not freeze. Because

some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your

washer. If storing or moving your washer during freezing weather,

winterize it.

Non-use or vacation care:

Operate your washer only when you are at home. If you will be on

vacation or not using your washer for an extended period of time,

you should:

Unplug washer or disconnect power.

Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid

unintended flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you

are away.

To winterize washer:

1. Shut off both water faucets.

2. Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.

3. Put 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the basket.

4. Run washer on the Rinse & Spin setting for about 30 seconds

to mix the antifreeze and remaining water.

5. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
