Caring For Your Washer - Fisher & Paykel WashSmart Installation Instructions And User Manual

When you have finished using your washer
Turn off the faucets to prevent the chance of flooding
should a hose burst.
Turn off the power at the wall.
Cold water washing
If you always wash with cold water, we recommend that a
WARM or HOT wash be used at regular intervals, eg every
5th wash should be at least a warm one.
Cleaning your washer
Note: ensure the power is turned off at the wall before cleaning your washer.
Clean the surfaces of your washer with a soft damp cloth only and wipe dry. Do not use scouring
or spray cleaners as they can damage the paint, plastic and panel surfaces.
Clean the fabric softener dispenser after each cycle using warm soapy water.
To remove the agitator for cleaning, unscrew the nut down the center of the agitator by turning
anti-clockwise.
Important!
The agitator must be fully pushed onto the shaft when refitting. Tighten the nut firmly by hand.
Ensure the agitator is not loose.
The soft close lid is not designed to be removable for cleaning. Do not attempt to remove the lid.
Cleaning the inside of your washer
If you use fabric softener or do regular cold water washing, it is important that you occasionally
clean the inside of your machine. We recommend completing the following cycle 5 – 6 times
a year:
Add about two scoops of a good quality powdered detergent or a machine cleaner to the
machine (down the dispenser).
Press POWER and select ALLERGY cycle, HIGH water level, MEDIUM spin and the SOAK option.
Press START/PAUSE.
We do not recommend that you wash clothes during this procedure.
Cleaning the fabric softener dispenser
When using fabric softener, rinse your dispenser at the end of each
wash using warm soapy water.
Separate the cup from the dispenser body by pushing downwards
on the base of the cup.
