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
(ieunplug 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 detergent dispenser drawer
Wipe out the detergent dispenser drawer with a damp cloth. Clean it regularly,
especially if you use fabric softener. To remove the drawer, pull it open, push down on
the blue tab in the fabric softener compartment (labelled ‘PUSH’) and pull out. Rinse it
out under warm water and replace.
Cleaning the inside of your washer
It is important that you regularly clean the inside of your machine using the ‘Drum
Clean’ cycle. After 100cycles your washer will flash the icon 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.
Cleaning steps
1
Add approximately 2 full scoops of a good quality powdered
detergent directly into the main wash detergent compartment
of the dispenser drawer (marked ‘2’) or use a drum cleaning
product specifically designed for front loading washing
machines (follow manufacturer’s instructions).
2
Press to turn your machine on and select the ‘DrumClean’
cycle.
3
Touch to start the cycle (refer to the ‘Wash cycles’ section).
Cleaning the drum and the door
Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the door, cleaning any water marks or residue off it.
Wipe the rubber ring around the door. Remove any items or lint accumulating in the
bottom of the ring catchment and wipe out any water accumulated here. If this is not
cleaned out, unpleasant odours will develop.
If the drum has any residual dirt or lint stuck to it, remove this and wipe the drum clean.
Do not leave any metal objects in the drum as these may rust and cause staining.
Do not allow children to swing on or place any weight on the door when open as this
may cause damage.
