Maintenance; Regular Cleaning - LG S3WF Owner's Manual

MAINTENANCE

WARNING
• Unplug the appliance before cleaning to avoid the risk of electric shock. Failure to follow this warning
can cause serious injury, fire, electrical shock, or death.
• Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents to clean the appliance. They will damage the
finish.

Regular Cleaning

Cleaning the Interior and
Exterior
Proper care of your appliance can extend its life.
1
Clean the inside and outside of the appliance
with a damp cloth.
• Glass cleaner can be used to clean the front
glass panel, but spray it on a cloth and wipe
rather than spraying it directly on the panel.
2
Buff the door dry with a clean, dry cloth to
prevent any water stains.
3
Allow the interior and exterior to dry
completely before plugging in and operating
the appliance.
CAUTION
• Do not spray water directly on the appliance.
• Do not use detergent, methylated spirits,
solvents, or any volatile liquids to clean the
exterior of the appliance.
• Never use steel wool or abrasive cleansers; they
can damage the surface.
• Keep sharp objects away from the exterior of the
appliance. The touch panel may not work if
damaged.
Cleaning the Lint Filter
Always remove the lint from the filter after every
programme. If the lint filter has become very dirty
or clogged, wash the lint filter in warm, soapy
water and allow to dry thoroughly before
reinstalling.
• Never operate the appliance without the lint
filter.
• Never operate the appliance with a wet lint filter.
Cleaning the Aroma Filter
For best results, wash the aroma filter using hot
water and dish soap. After cleaning, wipe the filter
with a clean cloth and allow it to dry thoroughly
before reinstalling it.
The aroma filter can also be cleaned in the top rack
of the dishwasher.
• Never operate the appliance without the aroma
filter.
• Never operate the appliance with a wet aroma
filter.
Cleaning the Water Tanks
The water in the water supply tank contacts the
clothing and items treated in the appliance directly.
Clean both tanks periodically and keep them clean
at all times. If the tanks are not properly cleaned,
they may start to smell or need to be replaced.
• Some discolouration of the water drain tank may
occur over time. This is normal and will not affect
product performance.
