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.
• Wipe the body of the washing machine with a
dry cloth to remove any moisture.
