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 centre of the agitator by
z
turning anti-clockwise.
The agitator must be fully pushed onto the shaft when refitting. Tighten the nut firmly by
hand. Ensure the agitator is not loose.
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 the use of commercial
washing machine cleaners only and do not wash clothes during these procedures. Complete
the following cycle 5 – 6 times a year.
Use commercial washing machine cleaners only. Ensure the cleaner used is compatible
with your waste water system, i.e. safe for use if you have a septic tank. Follow the
manufacturers instructions. We suggest not having any items in the washer during this
cycle.
