Proper operation of the washing machine extends its work for many years. Therefore, when installing programs during washing, the user must understand exactly what they are for and how to use them correctly.
It is not difficult to choose the washing modes on the Whirlpool SMA, since they all have names. Buttons with additional functions are also signed.
