CLEANING PROCEDURES
WARNING:
Before beginning any cleaning or maintenance,
always ensure the appliance is switched off, the power plug
is removed from the power outlet and the water supply has
been closed.
CLEANING THE WASHING MACHINE EXTERIOR
Proper maintenance of your washing machine will keep it
looking as new and extend its working life.
The exterior surface can be cleaned with household cleaners
and a soft damp cleaning cloth.
If there is any residual water at the completion of a washing
program, please use a cloth to wipe it off immediately.
Note: Never use solvents or harsh cleaning chemicals on
your washing machine’s exterior.
CLEANING THE INTERNAL DRUM
Should any rust form on the inside drum (i.e. water was
left to sit for an extended period of time), please remove
immediately using a chlorine free detergent. Never use
steel wool or a harsh abrasive.
FROZEN WASHING MACHINE
Should the temperature drop below zero and your washing
machine becomes frozen, you should:
Disconnect the power supply for the washing machine.
Wash the tap connection with warm water, to help you to
disconnect the inlet pipe.
Remove the inlet pipe and immerse in warm water
(i.e. within a bathtub).
Pour some warm water into the washing machine drum and
wait for approximately 10 minutes.
Reconnect the inlet pipe to the tap and washing machine
and open the water supply.
Wait until the room’s ambient temperature returns to above
0°C before trying to operate the washing machine.
CLEANING THE DETERGENT DRAWER
You should periodically follow these steps to ensure the
detergent drawer remains clean.
Press down on the arrow, located on the cover for the fabric
softener compartment of the detergent drawer.
Lift the clip up and remove the fabric softener
compartment cover.
Wash all grooves with warm water.
Re-install the fabric softener compartment cover
into the detergent drawer, and push the drawer back
into position.
