A NOTE TO YOU
Your Clothes Are Ready When You Are!
Your WHIRLPOOL® PERSONAL VALET® clothes vitalizing system is a breakthrough in home fabric care that gets your clothes
ready-to-wear in about 30 minutes (RegularCare cycle). The clothes vitalizer uses a two-stage process (except for the
GENTLEDRY™ cycle. See “Cycle Selection.”) that leaves your clothes looking neat and smelling fresh. During the first stage, the
clothes vitalizer, through a patented process, creates a mist of heat-activated formula that is circulated within the clothes vitalizer,
penetrating clothing fibers. The second stage of the cycle is the drying stage. The heating element activates the formula and, in
conjunction with the tensioning accessories, works to remove wrinkles and clean odors.
The clothes vitalizer is safe for virtually all your clothes.* Your clothes vitalizer will not only change how you care for your clothes, it
will change your daily routine. In order to maximize your satisfaction, it is important to know what the clothes vitalizer DOES and
DOES NOT do.
IT DOES:
IT DOES NOT:
• Remove wrinkles
• Clean odors
• Remove visible stains
• Give a pressed look
• Dry clean
• Reduce ironing
• Reduce trips to the dry cleaners
• Finish clothes
Before reading through this Owner’s Manual, we recommend that you watch the Use and Care Video if you have not already done
so. The video can be found inside the box that contains the accessories. The video gives many visual instructions on how to use
the accessories, which will help during your first several loads. Some of the material presented in this manual may be easier to
understand after watching the video.
Your clothes vitalizer is designed to be versatile. You will find it is a fast and easy way to care for your clothes. This Owner’s
Manual gives step-by-step instructions for achieving the BEST performance. The Body Shaper and Sleeve Shapers (see page 12)
may not be required for every article of clothing, especially on less wrinkled suit coats, blouses and skirts. When you load clothes, it
is important to remember two key things:
SPACING
TENSIONING
This is required to remove wrinkles. Some clothes will require
fewer tensioning accessories (Body and Sleeve Shapers) while
others will require all of the recommended accessories.
Having space around the clothes is directly related to
performance. Two articles of clothing will do better than
three since there is more space for the mist to circulate.
*For fabrics not recommended for use in the clothes vitalizer, see “Fabrics Not Recommended” section.

Your clothes vitalizer is designed for daily use by being able to handle an outfit at a time. Although your clothes vitalizer can handle up to
three articles of clothing, best performance is achieved when no more than two articles of clothing are loaded. Maximizing space around
the clothes whenever possible allows the formula to circulate between the clothes, which improves performance.

an indication of the results you can expect for each type of clothing and fabric. The accessories that are listed will give you the BEST
performance on each article of clothing. Depending upon the amount of wrinkles and the fabric, you will find that not every article of
clothing will require the Body Shaper and/or the Sleeve Shapers. This is especially true for suit coats, blouses and skirts. As you use the
clothes vitalizer, you will become more familiar with what accessories will be required to give you the results you desire.

FORMULA
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use approved formula only.
Do not use any flammable liquids.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or explosion.
Before running your first cycle on the clothes vitalizer or filling the formula containers, apply the formula identification labels that were
included with the PRESIVA* formula starter kit. These labels will identify which formula is in each container. Apply a Soft finish label to
one container and a Crisp finish label to the other container. If you decide to apply a different label in the future, remove the old label and
clean the area thoroughly so the new label will adhere to the formula container.
Fill the formula container with either the Soft or Crisp finish.The container holds approximately 30 oz of formula. This is enough for
approximately 3 Heavy Duty cycles or 5 to 9 RegularCare cycles, depending upon which settings have been used.
IMPORTANT: Look for the PERSONAL VALET® system seal of approval before using any formula in the clothes vitalizer. If the formula
bottle does not have the following seal, it is not approved for use in the PERSONAL VALET® clothes vitalizing system.
™
Using unapproved formulas may result in reduced performance or an increase in nozzle or filter clogging.

FORMULA (cont.)
Removing the Formula Container
Remove the container by holding the cap on the container and pulling toward you.
Filling the Formula Container
1. Place container on a flat surface. DO NOT hold the formula container by the white nozzle pack as it will come off.
2. Unscrew the cap.
3. Pour the formula into the container until it is full.
4. Replace the cap.
5. Slide the formula container back into place until you hear a click.
NOTES:
• For best performance, check the formula container fill indicator before each cycle. The fluid level should be above the red circle to
ensure enough formula is available for the cycle.
• Do not leave the formula container empty. This can cause the filter to dry out and clog, which will reduce performance.

CYCLE SELECTION
Four cycles are available on your clothes vitalizer. The cycle you choose determines the amount of formula dispensed and the cycle time.
RegularCare Cycle
HeavyDuty Cycle
QUICKCARE™ Cycle
GENTLEDRY™ Cycle
RegularCare is the standard cycle you will use to
remove wrinkles and clean odors from your
clothing. Select the Cotton/Poly, Wool or Delicate
setting to match the fabric in your load.
The GENTLEDRY™ cycle dries wet
clothes that you would normally line
dry, but it works in a fraction of the
time. Drying time depends upon the
fabric type and the dampness of the
clothes. Use this cycle to provide
additional drying time if your clothes do
not completely dry in the Heavy Duty
or RegularCare cycle.
The Heavy Duty cycle should
be used on cotton, polyester or
linen clothes that are heavily
wrinkled, such as clothes
coming out of the dryer.
Use the
QUICKCARE™
cycle for a burst of
freshness.

• Use the Wool setting for all wool clothing,
regardless of the amount of wrinkles.
• Use the Delicate setting for delicate fabrics
such as rayon, silk and other delicate fibers.
This cycle uses a manual time setting
to dry clothes. After selecting the cycle,
use the up or down button to change
the length of the cycle. This cycle is
safe for virtually all of your clothes.

MAINTENANCE
WEEKLY - Clean the interior and exterior
Regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge is all that is necessary to keep the inside and outside of your clothes vitalizer looking nice and clean.
ANNUALLY - Change the Filter in the Formula Container
The filter at the end of the clear plastic tube in the nozzle pack needs to be changed as the filter becomes clogged with use and reduces the amount of
formula dispensed. You can order filters by calling 1-866-MYVALET and ordering part number 4396216, which contains two filters.
1. Remove the formula
container from the
clothes vitalizer. Empty
formula and place it on
a flat surface.
2. Pull straight up on the
white nozzle pack.
Twisting the nozzle pack
as you pull up will help
remove it.
3. Hold the clear tube
securely with two fingers
and pull the old filter off.
5. Replace the nozzle pack
by pushing the pack
down onto the formula
container.
4. Replace the filter with a
Whirlpool Brand approved
filter by pushing the new
filter down onto the clear
plastic tube.
AS NEEDED – Clearing a clogged Nozzle
Your nozzle may be clogged if:
• Dewrinkling performance has noticeably decreased.
• Odors are not removed.
• Formula level in container is not lower after each cycle.
1. Remove the formula container
from within the clothes vitalizer.
Empty formula and place con-
tainer on a flat surface.

sink or container of warm water
for 15 minutes.
NOTE: If nozzle does not unclog, call 1-866-MYVALET to order a new nozzle pack. DO NOT insert anything into the nozzle to attempt to clear. This will
damage the nozzle and cause an excessive amount of formula to be dispensed, which may damage your clothes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
®
1. Will the Personal Valet clothes vitalizer clean (dry-clean) my clothes?
It will not remove spots and stains, however our studies have found that the majority of clothes that go to the dry cleaners do not have visible spots and
stains on them. The clothes vitalizer will help you conveniently get your clothes ready to wear by cleaning odors, smoothing wrinkles, and giving your
clothes a neat, clean look and feel.
2. Will it remove wrinkles from my clothes as well as ironing or dry cleaning?
If you are good at ironing – that will probably remove wrinkles better than virtually any other option. Many consumers acknowledge that they are not
skilled at ironing – some will even admit that they manage to iron wrinkles into their clothes.
Thus, if you simply do not like to iron, the clothes vitalizer provides a smooth finish on a wide range of clothes without the hassle of ironing. It will NOT
give a pressed finish or look.
3. Will the clothes vitalizer put creases in items such as my dress slacks?
The clothes vitalizer will not create a crease where there is none, but it may help reinforce an existing crease. Likewise, the clothes vitalizer will not
remove a permanent crease such as one you would find in a pleated skirt.
4. On which types of clothes does the clothes vitalizer perform best? On which clothes will it not perform so well?
Items that are generally harder to iron – such as white cotton dress shirts and linens – may not come out as well as silk and wool items.
You can place special clothes – including leather, suede, and beaded fabrics – in the clothes vitalizer. Simply use the Wool cycle and PRESIVA* Soft
finish formula.
5. Will the clothes vitalizer remove pet hair or lint?
Some things (such as pet hair and lint) may fall off during the course of a cycle, but the appliance is not designed specifically to remove those items.
Instead, it takes the rumpled, wrinkled items hanging in your closet or coming out of your dryer – and gives them a neat, clean look and feel; it makes
them ready to wear.
6. How difficult is it to get clothes ready for a cycle?
Generally, it takes only a couple of minutes to load the clothes vitalizer, and the preparation steps are simple and easy to remember.
7. How many clothes can I place inside the clothes vitalizer?
The clothes vitalizer will hold one to three items. You will get the best performance if you load two articles of clothing. This will give the formula more
space to circulate between the clothes. If you place three garments inside the cabinet, you will get better results with “thinner” items, such as polo shirts
or blouses.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (cont.)
8. On which fabrics should I use the Crisp and Soft formulas?
The Crisp formula gives a neat, crisp feel to cotton and linen fabrics. You might use it on cotton clothing to which you want to give some form and
substance.
The Soft formula is an all-purpose formula that makes fabrics feel soft, almost like a fabric softener. It keeps fabrics such as silk, rayon, linen, wool, and
knitted clothes flowing and draping naturally so they move with you.
9. Can I mix colors in the clothes vitalizer? Will PRESIVA* cause colors to bleed?
You can place clothes of different colors in the clothes vitalizer together. The clothes vitalizer and PRESIVA* are completely safe for colorfast clothes.
10. Can I place different types of fabric in the clothes vitalizer at the same time? Are there any concerns or “watch-outs” with mixing fabrics
inside the clothes vitalizer?
You can safely mix fabric types inside the clothes vitalizer. That said, the appliance offers different cycles for different types of clothes, and for best
results, we do recommend loading clothes made from the same fabric.
11. Are there any types of clothes that could be harmed by the clothes vitalizer?
We do not recommend the system for fur, faux fur, fleece, plastic, nylon, velour, velvet, pleather (artificial leather) or feathers. With all other fabrics –
from wool to silk to even leather – you can use the clothes vitalizer with confidence. It cleans odors, smoothes wrinkles, and gives clothes a neat, clean
look and feel, with a laundry-fresh scent.

TROUBLESHOOTING
First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid a service call.
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
Nozzle may be clogged. See “Maintenance” section for clearing a clogged nozzle.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
No formula was dispensed during
the misting cycle.
Did not use tensioning accessories. Add tensioning accessories. See “Loading” section in this guide.
Load contained mixed fabrics.
Run loads that contain similar fabrics. For example, when running a silk blouse (which
requires the RegularCare Delicate setting) along with a cotton shirt, performance on the
cotton shirt will suffer, as cottons require a longer misting cycle.
Change filter. See “Maintenance” section for changing filters. Every year the filter on
the nozzle pack needs to be changed as it becomes clogged and reduces the amount
of formula dispensed.
Not enough formula was dispensed
due to a clogged filter.
Formula ran out during misting
stage.
Check to see if formula container is in the red circle. If it is, add more formula and run
cycle again.
Finished results
are not as expected,
wrinkles still present.
Ran the cycle with 3 articles of
clothing.
Run the cycle with 2 articles of clothing. This increases the space around the clothes,
which lets the heat-activated mist circulate better between the clothes improving
performance.
Tensioning accessories caused a
crease or fold.
When adding the tensioning accessories make sure to remove any creases, folds, or
pinched fabric. If these are present before the cycle starts, they will be there when the
cycle ends.
Clothing is new and has never
been cleaned.
Clothes that have never been washed before have wrinkles that are more difficult to
remove and may require touch-up ironing. Clean clothes per care label.
Clothing has difficult-to-remove
wrinkles.
Review “Expectation” notes at the end of each section for loading articles of clothing.
Some fabrics hold wrinkles to a greater extent than others.
Some cotton and linen clothes
have difficult-to-remove wrinkles.
Run the Heavy Duty cycle.
Clothing was wet going in.
If clothes are wet going into the clothes vitalizer, they will come out wet. Run the
GENTLEDRY™ cycle until the clothes are dry.
Clothing is wet after a
Heavy Duty,
RegularCare or
QUICKCARE™ cycle.
Verify by running the GENTLEDRY™ cycle to see if the interior heats up. If it does not heat
up, call Service for repair.
Heating element has failed.

TROUBLESHOOTING (cont.)
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
POSSIBLE CAUSE
This is normal.
Different sounds are
coming from the
clothes vitalizer.
During the misting stage of a cycle, you will hear a spraying sound. During the drying stage
you will hear a low hum coming from the fan. In between stages is a dwell time in which a
pulsing sound from the fan may be heard.
Loaded 3 articles of clothing.
Run the GENTLEDRY™ cycle until clothes are dry. Three articles of clothing reduce
airflow, causing areas on some clothes to be slightly damp at the end of the cycle.
Clothing is damp
after a Heavy Duty
or RegularCare
cycle.
Run the GENTLEDRY™ cycle for a few minutes.
Higher room temperature and
humidity can increase drying time.
Nozzle may be partially clogged.
Cycle selection was incorrect.
See “Maintenance” section for clearing a clogged nozzle. Clean clothes according to the
care label on the article of clothing.
Water spots on
clothes.
Clean clothes according to care label on the article of clothing. Choose the RegularCare
setting to match the fabric in your load. See “Cycle Selection” section for information on
loads with different fabric types.
running
Clean clothes according to care label on the article of clothing. Be sure Clothes Hangers
are positioned in the notches on the hanger bar. If clothing is large or bulky, reduce the
number of clothes loaded in the clothes vitalizer.
Clothing was touching the interior
sides or doors.
Formula dripped off hanger bar or
accessory.
Clean clothes according to the care label on the article of clothing. The spots should come
out with just the recommended cleaning method.
Be sure the clothing is fully inserted into the clip.
If you are going over a seam, make sure the seam lines up with the contoured area in
the middle of the clip’s pad.
Weight clips fall off
clothing.
Clothing was not fully inserted into
the clip.
Formula residue on pads.
Rinse with warm water to remove formula residue.
This is normal for some cycles.
There may be formula left over after the Heavy Duty cycle. Remove the basin cover and
dry the basin with a clean towel.
