Care And Cleaning - Fisher & Paykel 7 Series User Manual

Before you start cleaning your washer, ensure that it is disconnected from the power.
The dial and soft close lid are not designed to be removable for cleaning. Do not attempt
to remove the dial or lid.
Cleaning the control panel, topdeck and lid
Use a soft damp cloth to wipe all surfaces, and wipe dry. Avoid using chemical or scouring
cleaners, as these will damage the paint and plastic surfaces of your washer.
Cleaning the detergent and fabric softener dispensers
Wipe out the detergent dispenser with a damp cloth. The fabric softener and detergent
funnels remove easily, simply lift from the centre and reclip into place once cleaned. If the
siphon tube on the fabric softener dispenser looks blocked, use a cotton bud to clean.
Cleaning your low-profile agitator
If your low-profile agitator becomes stained we recommend you use household bleach to
clean it. Ensure you wear gloves. Tip a small amount of household bleach onto a soft cloth
and apply to the stain. Be careful to avoid metal surfaces of your washer. Leave it to soak in
for 10 minutes and repeat. Then put your washer through the
any residual bleach, refer to 'Drum Clean' over the page for details.
Lint filters
The lint filters in your washer should be cleaned every cycle to ensure best wash
performance. To clean, unclip the lint filters from the drum, remove any lint and reclip back
into place.
Products that might damage your washer
Concentrated bleaches, laundry pre-soakers/sanitisers, stain removers and hydrocarbon
z
solvents (eg petrol and paint thinners) can cause damage to the surfaces eg control
panel, and components of your washer.
Be careful when washing garments stained with solvents as they are flammable. DO NOT
z
put them in your dryer.
Use of dyes in your washer may cause staining of the plastic components. The dye will
z
not damage the washer but we suggest you thoroughly clean your washer afterwards.
We do not recommend the use of dye strippers in your washer.
Scrud
Scrud is the name of the waxy build-up that can occur within any washer when fabric
softener comes into contact with detergent. This build-up is not brought about by a fault
in the washer. If scrud is allowed to build up in the washer it can result in stains on clothes
and/or an unpleasant smell in your washer. Scrud can be kept under control by using the
cycle regularly.
