Proper maintenance of the washing machine prolongs its operation for many years. Therefore, when setting programs during washing, the user must understand exactly what they are for and how to use them correctly.
Washing modes on the Whirlpool CMA are not difficult to choose, since they all have names. Buttons with additional functions are also signed.
Table of programs in the Whirlpool typewriter (Whirlpool): description and designation
As in other models, Whirlpool washers have basic and additional programs. Useful features are also included, thanks to which high washing efficiency is achieved.
Main Modes
Name | Description | Approximate washing time* |
Cotton | Washing heavily soiled cotton items and laundry. It takes place in hot water, the temperature of which can be regulated. The maximum spin allows you to carefully unscrew the laundry from natural fabrics. | 110-165 minutes (depending on the selected temperature). |
Synthetics | The water temperature in some models is adjustable from 30 to 60 degrees. You can wash things from synthetic, mixed fabrics. | 85-100 minutes (depending on water temperature). |
Prewash | This is machine soaking. Using this mode, you can wash heavily soiled laundry. A long stay in heated water allows the powder to better penetrate the fabrics, after which a regular wash is carried out. | +20 minutes to the duration of the main mode. |
Wool | You can even take care of things made of wool and cashmere in the washing machine. A special program provides for a measured rotation of the drum and a large amount of water. The squeeze is minimal. | 45 minutes. |
Delicate washing mode | For delicate fabrics: silk, organza, lace. It is carried out at 30 degrees, so the clothes do not deform, do not lose their shape. Spinning may be absent or be at the minimum mark. | 45 minutes. |
Quick wash | It is used for lightly soiled things, passes in cold water at 30 degrees. | 15-30 minutes. |
Daily wash | Reduced mode is used for daily laundry care. The water heats up to 40 degrees. | 85-120 minutes (depending on fabric type). |
*The table contains approximate data, see the instructions for your Whirlpool model for the exact time.
Additional programs and functions

Foam control | Excess foam is immediately removed from the drum, which allows you to rinse the laundry normally. |
Antibacterial | Steam treatment allows you to remove difficult soiling and disinfect linen. |
Dosage Recommendations and Sixth Sense | Smart functions help you determine the weight of your laundry and use the right amount of detergent accordingly. |
Child Protection | The function locks the control panel, protecting it from accidental pressing. |
Aqua stop | Leak protection. In the event of a malfunction, the valves close without letting water through. |
