MAINTENANCE

• ult in serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or
solvents to clean the washing machine. They may
damage the finish.

Cleaning Your Washing Machine

Care After Wash
• After the cycle is finished, wipe the door and the inside
of the door seal to remove any moisture.
• Leave the door open if it is safe to do so 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.
Door:
• Wash with a damp cloth on the outside and inside and
then dry with a soft cloth.
Exterior:
• Immediately wipe off any spills.
• Wipe with a damp cloth.
• Do not press the surface or the display with sharp
objects.
Cleaning the Interior
• Use a towel or soft cloth to wipe around the washing
machine door opening and door glass.
• Always remove items from the washing machine as
soon as the cycle is complete. Leaving damp items
in the washing machine can cause wrinkling, colour
transfer, and odour.
• Run the Tub Clean programme once a month (or more
often if needed) to remove detergent buildup and
other residue.

Cleaning the Water Inlet Filter

• Turn off the supply taps to the machine if the washing
machine is to be left for any length of time (e.g.
holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully) in
the immediate vicinity.
• [IE] error will be displayed when water is not entering
the detergent drawer during the wash.
• If water hardness level is high, or contains traces
of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become
clogged. It is therefore a good idea to clean it
occasionally.
1
Turn off the water tap and unscrew the water
supply hose.
2
Remove the filter with pincers or long nose pliers.
Clean the filter using a medium bristle toothbrush.
