Aside from the detergent dispenser, water hose(s), and the pump filter, no other parts
are designed to be removed from the washer for cleaning. Do not attempt to remove any
other part of the washer.
Cleaning the drum and the door
z
Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the door, cleaning any water marks or residue off it.
z
Wipe the rubber seal around the door. Remove any items or lint accumulating in the
bottom of the seal catchment and wipe out any water accumulated here. If this is not
cleaned out, unpleasant odours will develop.
z
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.
Cleaning the hose(s)
Each hose has a filter in it, preventing any solid contaminants in the water entering your
washing machine. Occasionally you should disconnect the water inlet hose(s) where they
connect to the tap(s), check these for any build up of dirt and wash this out.
Detergent advice
z
If unpleasant odours are noticeable from your washer, it is possible that not enough
detergent is being used for the soil level of your loads. Run a
DRUM CLEAN
cycle and
either buy better quality detergent or use a higher dose. Different detergents have
different cleaning chemicals. Consider alternating detergents to help remove odour.
z
Add the detergent BEFORE starting the cycle, close the dispenser and do not open it
while the cycle is running.
Leave the door to your washer open when it is not in use to allow the washer to dry out,
otherwise it will develop unpleasant odours. When leaving the door open like this, it is
extremely important that children and pets are kept away from the washer so they cannot
be accidentally trapped inside it.
