Machine
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 a 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
but only if there no unsupervised children in
the home.
Wipe the body of the washing machine with a
dry cloth to remove any moisture.
Cleaning the Exterior
Proper care of your washing machine can
extend its life.
