How To Keep Aquasmart™ Clean - Fisher & Paykel AquaSmart WL26CW1 Product Information

How to Keep AQUASMART™ Clean
It is important to keep your AquaSmart™ clean. The lid and fabric softener compartments
are all designed to be easily removed and cleaned.
Lid
To remove the lid, open it fully, and, holding one side, gently pull the other
side upward to remove from hinge. The other side can then be lifted and the
lid removed fully, allowing easy cleaning of the hinge area. To replace the lid,
hold the lid vertically and align both hinges before pushing down firmly.

Display
Clean display and screen using a soft damp cloth. Avoid using chemical or scouring cleaners,
as these will damage the paint and plastic surfaces.
Basket
The basket also requires washing occasionally, especially if cycles are done mostly in cold
water and/or if fabric softener is used. To clean the inside of the washer, use the Clean Me
cycle – LIFESTYLES > CLEAN UP > CLEAN ME. We recommend you use this cycle 5-6 times
per year.
Residue can build up inside washing machines, and this should be prevented where possible.
A muddy residue known as scum can also build up at the base of the machine and at the
tide-line on the outer tub. Scum occurs when too little detergent is used, and consequently
dirt cannot be held in suspension and flushed out of product.
The other residue that commonly builds up in a washer is known as scrud, and is a waxy
residue that is very difficult to remove. Scrud occurs when detergent and fabric softener
come into contact and can often be seen around the dispensing area or on the outer tub.
Both of these residues can be prevented with correct use and care of the AquaSmart™.
Low Profile Agitator
If the low profile agitator becomes stained, it can be easily cleaned using household bleach.
Apply bleach sparingly to the agitator using a soft cloth, being careful to avoid metal parts.
Allow the bleach to soak in for 10 minutes, then put the machine through a Clean Me cycle
to remove any residual bleach. You may need to repeat this process.
Top Deck
Wipe down top deck, detergent and fabric softener dispensers
using a soft damp cloth. The funnel of the fabric softener
dispenser can be removed for cleaning by placing a finger down
the centre and clicking off. Clean the siphon tube using a cotton
