User manual WHIRLPOOL WA STAR 1400 INSTRUCTION FOR USE

[. . . ] YOUR ELECTRONIC WASHING MACHINE GB This washing machine is equipped with all-electronic control, which opens up a host of possibilities for you. Amongst others, these include: precise determination of load, Dynamic-Sense Technology, imbalance detection and correction system, fast programme changing, accurate programme sequence indicator, start delay, soaking, safety feature “intelligent (anti-flood) Water Stop system”. • The load determining facility evaluates the laundry load at the start of the wash cycle and optimises the washing procedure accordingly. The machine adapts automatically to the prevailing circumstances: if you are washing a minimum load, the programme carries out only two rinse cycles during the cotton and synthetics programmes, while keeping the rinse results very good. [. . . ] Set programme selector knob to new programme. Reselect additional options and spin speed if appropriate. The indicator light above the “Start/Pause” button will blink. Note: The options “Start delay” and “Prewash” cannot be reselected when the programme is changed. Press the “Start/Pause” button. The new programme will continue in the same programme section during which the current programme was interrupted. Note: Do not add more detergent for this programme. PROGRAMME INTERRUPTION / PAUSE To interrupt the running programme for a certain period and continue it at a later time: 1. Press the “Start/Pause” button. Following the desired pause press the “Start/Pause” button once again. CANCELLING THE PROGRAMME If the current programme is to be terminated prematurely and cancelled, the water must be pumped out first before the door can be opened: 1. Set the programme selector to programme setting “Drain”. The indicator above the “Start/Pause” button flashes. The spin indicator shows “0” and the remaining time indicator (if available) shows “0:02” minutes. Press the “Start/Pause” button in order to start the “Drain” programme. REMOVING THE FILTER / DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER WHEN SHOULD I REMOVE THE FILTER? Check the filter two or three times a year and clean it if necessary. • Check the filter if the appliance is not draining properly or if it fails to perform spin cycles. • Remove the filter if the pump is blocked by an object (buttons, coins, safety pins, etc. ). IMPORTANT:Make sure the water has had time to cool before draining the appliance. 30 REMOVING THE FILTER / DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER REMOVING THE FILTER 1. Switch off the appliance (set the programme selector to and unplug it). Remove the coloured insert from the detergent dispenser and use it to open the filter cover. Turn the filter slowly anti-clockwise until the grip is vertical; do not extract filter as yet. Wait until all the water has drained out. Now unscrew the filter completely and extract it. [. . . ] Check water-tightness of tap and appliance connections by turning the tap completely on. • If the hose is too short, replace it with a suitable length of pressure resistant hose (1000 kPa min, EN 50084 approved type). • Periodically check the hose for brittleness and cracks and replace if necessary. • The appliance can be connected without an antibackpressure valve.
