When you have finished using your washer
Unplug the machine from the power socket.
Wipe around the door and in the rubber gasket to remove any remaining water and
foreign matter.
Turn off the taps to prevent the chance of flooding should a hose burst.
Cleaning your washer
Before you start cleaning your washer, ensure that it is disconnected from the power
(ie unplug the machine from the power socket).
Cleaning the control panel and outer surfaces of the washer
Use a soft damp cloth to wipe all surfaces, then wipe dry. Avoid using chemical or
scouring cleaners, as these will damage the paint and plastic surfaces of your washer.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
It is recommended that you clean the
dispenser drawer regularly, especially if
you use fabric softener.
To remove the drawer from the machine,
1
pull it open, push down on the tab behind
the rear compartments (A) and pull it out
from the machine.
To disassemble the drawer, first remove
2
the compartment inserts for 'Main Wash
Liquid' and 'Fabric Softener' (B).
Turn the drawer upside down. Locate the
3
tab labelled 'REMOVE' (C). Press down on it
and towards the drawer front while pulling
the front of the drawer away from the tab.
These three parts can now be hand-
4
washed in hot tap water and dried with
a soft cloth. Reassemble and place back
in the machine. Note: these parts are not
dishwasher safe.
Cleaning the inside of your washer
It is important that you regularly clean the inside of your
machine using the 'Drum Clean' cycle. After 100 cycles the
icon will flash every time you turn your washer on to remind you
to do this. If your washer starts to smell this is a sign that you
should complete a 'Drum Clean' cycle. We recommend that you
do not have any items in the washer when you run this cycle.
To clean the inside of your washer:
Add approximately 2 scoops of a good quality powdered detergent directly into the
1
'MAIN WASH Powder' compartment of the dispenser drawer or use a drum cleaning
product specifically designed for front loading washing machines (follow manufacturer's
instructions).
Press 'POWER' to turn your washer on and select the 'Drum Clean' cycle.
2
Touch
to start the cycle (refer to the 'Wash cycles' section).
