Caring for your washer

28
When you have finished using your washer
Turn off the taps to prevent the chance of flooding
should a hose burst.
Turn off the power at the wall.
Cold water washing
If you always wash with cold water, we recommend
that a WARM or HOT wash be used at regular
intervals, eg every 5th wash should be at least a warm one.
Cleaning your washer
Note: ensure the power is turned off at the wall before cleaning your washer.
Clean the surfaces of your washer with a soft damp cloth only and wipe dry. Do not use 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 turning
anti-clockwise.
Important!
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 completing the following cycle 5 – 6 times
a year:
Add about two cups of a good quality powdered detergent to the machine (down the dispenser).
Press POWER and select ALLERGY cycle, HIGH water level, MEDIUM spin and the SOAK option.
Press START / PAUSE.
We do not recommend that you wash clothes during this procedure.
