• If we talk about delicate programs when laundry is washed at low temperatures, the flow rate when fully loaded does not exceed 1 kW / h.

Wash technologies from Virpul

The American company uses the most advanced tissue cleaning technologies in its products:

• supreme care;
• hot finish;
• colors 15;
• wave motion plus.

Supreme care

Supreme care technology allows you to perfectly protect the color and structure of the material.

Hot finish

Hot finish is a rinse in warm water (about 40 ° C). This technology will be especially interesting for those who love woolen products. It is believed that they should not be washed in an automatic machine, because they sit down. However, the Whirlpool washing machine does nothing wrong with your sweaters and scarves thanks to the use of special technology.

Color

The color 15 ° mode allows washing in cold water, and this is important for fabrics that tend to shed intensively. In addition, this mode dramatically reduces the amount of electricity consumed, since you do not have to heat the water very much.

Wave motion plus

Wave motion plus technology allows you to direct the movement of the drum, taking into account the type of fabric. The algorithm is set automatically when you install the program:

• cotton / white linen;
• synthetics;
• light / dark;
• color 15 °;
• delicate;
• wool.

How it works:

• When washing white cotton fabrics, the Virpul drum rotates in different directions. The maximum gravitational force is established, things actively interact with water. The drum moves almost without pauses.
• When washing synthetic fabrics that do not need a strong mechanical effect, alternating vertical drops with pauses is used. In the light-dark mode, things get wet for a long time and hardly rub against each other.
• During cold washing of colored things, the drum rotates automatically, while delicate - it rotates very slowly, while things almost do not touch each other.
• Finally, when you set the mode for wool, the drum hardly moves.

Additional features of Whirlpool machines

Whirlpool is constantly improving its products. For modern models you will find:

• prewash mode;
• a program for very dirty laundry;
• intense and hot rinse;
• 15 ° bio stain mode for grease stains and technical greases;
• quick wash;
• Fresh Care Fresh Care.

You can also use the delayed start and rinse delay functions. The first is used for delicate washing, the second - if the hostess does not have the opportunity to start messing with the laundry immediately.

Important! In all Whirlpool washing machines you will find an indicator that allows you to determine the amount of detergent if the laundry is already in the tank.

Control Panel

Another bonus from Whirlpool is the convenient control panel. In almost all cars, it is located at a slight angle so that it can be clearly seen, regardless of which corner of the room you are now.

The display is clearly visible, it is bright. Any option can be selected by touching the center button. What is especially nice - the car remembers the last setting.

Important! The latest models of the company are characterized by low noise level. This is achieved by changing the size of the cell - it has become deeper, but smaller in area. This design provides additional sound insulation.

The warranty period for the engine is the entire service life of the unit, for the remaining parts - a year.
