Care After Wash
• If you always use COLD water, we
recommend that a WARM or HOT wash be
used at regular intervals e.g. every 5th wash
should be at least a WARM one.
• Turn off taps to prevent the chance of flooding
should an inlet hose burst.
• Always unplug the power cord after use.
• After the cycle is finished, wipe the door and
the inside of the door seal to remove any
moisture.
• Leave the door open to dry the drum interior.
• Wipe the body of the washing machine with a
dry cloth to remove any moisture.
