Drum cleaning function in a Weissgauff washing machine

Every day, household appliances become more sophisticated and functional, as manufacturers strive to attract new customers. Drum cleaning in a Weissgauff washing machine is an extremely useful feature that makes life much easier for homemakers. Let's explore how it works and what other features this German brand's appliances boast.

Activating the cleaning algorithm

It's very helpful that Weissgauff equipment actively reminds the user to enter self-cleaning mode. This occurs after a cycle count of 25 cycles has been completed. Thus, as soon as the 25th program is completed, the “home assistant” will turn on the indicator, indicating the need to activate the drum cleaning function. How to turn it on?

• Make sure there are no clothes, shoes or other items inside the drum.
• Press and hold the drum cleaning program button for 3 seconds.
• You will notice that the activated indicator will turn off.
• The work cycle will begin.

Once the self-cleaning mode is complete, all previously recorded cycles will be recounted and the counting will start again.

It's crucial not to touch the washing machine while it's in the process. This includes any actions that might enhance the effectiveness of the drum cleaning function. For example, don't add vinegar or citric acid to the washing machine, as this can actually damage the machine rather than improve the cleaning process. The appliance itself cleans beautifully, so there's no need to interfere with its operation.

A set of useful algorithms

In addition to the self-cleaning mode, every Weissgauff washing machine has a number of programs that will be useful for any homemaker. Here are the most important ones.

• Cotton. Suitable for cleaning textiles that are resistant to wear and high temperatures.
• Synthetics. This mode is for washing synthetic and melange fabrics, as well as cotton and linen garments.
• Children's. A separate program for cleaning baby clothes, featuring enhanced rinsing to completely remove household chemicals from the fabric, thereby protecting delicate baby skin.

This cycle is also suitable for cleaning clothes of allergy sufferers.

• Quick 45. Special operating mode for quick processing of lightly soiled items.
• Mixed. Suitable for light cleaning of items made from mixed fabric types that do not have serious stains.
• Jeans. Cycle for working with denim fabrics.
• Colored. Allows you to treat brightly colored items without them losing their color.
• Quick 15. An extremely fast cycle that lasts just 15 minutes, refreshing lightly soiled laundry.
• Delicate. Designed for washing delicate textiles such as silk and satin.
• Wool. Another gentle program, this time for wool items. It not only cleans wool items but also prevents them from shrinking.
• Spinning. This is suitable for situations where you need to spin your laundry separately. Keep in mind that the liquid used for washing or rinsing will drain into the drain before the spin cycle begins.
• Rinse + Spin. Another separate mode, this one skips the wash cycle and goes straight to the rinse and spin cycle.
• Cotton ECO. This program is designed for washing cotton and linen items. This cycle takes much longer, but uses less tap water and energy.
• Sportswear. Helps keep your sportswear and shoes in order.
• Wash and dry in 1 hour. If you need to quickly wash and dry several shirts or other items, choose this cycle. The manufacturer claims it's suitable for loads up to 1 kilogram, or 4 shirts or similar items.
• Wash + Dry 5 kg. This full cycle takes considerably longer, but produces 5 kg of clean, dry clothes instead of 1.

The last two functions can only be found in Weissgauff washing machines with a built-in drying mode.

Modern laundry equipment allows every user to find the right mode. Simply learn the purpose of each mode to ensure perfectly clean clothes every time.

   Natalia:

   Hello, I don't understand how to enable the drum cleaning function on the Weissgauff WM 4826 D washing machine with inverter and steam. There's no separate option on the control panel, so does this mean each function needs to be cleaned separately?
