User manual WHIRLPOOL AWO/D 43115 PRODUCT FICHE

[. . . ] Your washing machine comes with 3 preset dosing values for 3 different types of detergents (generic – delicates – dark colours). Each detergent type is associated to a group of programmes (see table on the right). Each of the 3 preset values should be adjusted as to match the dosing recommendation reported on the package of the detergent/s that you intend to use for each specific group. [. . . ] All rights reserved Check and adjust one of the preset dosing values (Detergent calibration) Suppose you want to check and adjust the preset dosing value for all the programmes belonging to the “Generic detergent group”. Important: during this phase do not consider the local water hardness and the habitual soil level of your laundry. Simply follow the instruction below. A - Check soil level ml GB 5019 106 01525 Subject to change - Printed in Italy First Check on the package of your generic detergent which dosing amount is recommended for medium water hardness (or medium/soft) and medium soil level (or medium/light). Please use this value when you reach step 3 of the procedure described in the following section (see B - Adjust). Water hardness soft medium light medium heavy hard B - Adjust (Detergent Calibration) Select a programme belonging to the programme group for which you want to check and possibly adjust the preset dosing value (for example the “Cotton” programme for the “Generic” group). Press and hold the “Dosing Aid” button for a few seconds. The bottle symbol on the display lights up, and the preset detergent dosing value appears on the display. Compare the preset value indicated on the display with the dosing amount previously identified (i. e. , that recommended on your detergent package for medium water hardness and medium soil level). If they differ, adapt the displayed value now by pressing “+” or “-” Press the “Ok” button to confirm and save the new detergent value for the group. The value on the display disappears, and the display goes back to the initial state. Do this for all 3 programme groups. It is sufficient to save a dosing value for ONE programme per group - it will be automatically saved for the other programmes of this group. That is, before you press the “Start (Pause)” button for the first time. • If “Dosing Aid” is selected and you want to add more laundry after you have pressed the “Start (Pause)” button for the first time, proceed as follows: - press and hold the “Reset/Drain” button for a few seconds; the display shows the default setting of the programme. - Wait until the door unlocks (this can take more than a minute). - Now add your laundry and follow the procedure described above (“Daily Use”) to get the recommended detergent quantity displayed. • When “Dosing Aid” is selected, you have to add the detergent into the dispenser. This also applies if you have set a start delay. You cannot add the detergent directly to the drum using a dosing cup because the door will be locked. • If “Dosing Aid” is selected and you want to reset everything after you have pressed the “Start (Pause)” button for the first time, proceed as follows: - press and hold the “Reset/Drain” button for a few seconds; the display goes back to the initial state. It can take more than a minute until the door unlocks. • The duration of programmes with small maximum loads (like “Delicates”, “Wool/Handwash” etc. [. . . ] - see in separate Programme Chart) is NOT updated according to the amount of laundry added. • The real programme duration can differ from the time indicated on the display even after the wash load has been identified. This is because it can be influenced by factors like reduced inlet water temperature, which leads to a longer heating time. [. . . ]
