Cleaning your washer
Before you start cleaning your washer, ensure that it is disconnected from the power
(ie unplug 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 tab in the fabric softener compartment 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 100 cycles

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
