MAINTENANCE
From time to time it may be necessary to carry out some routine maintenance of your Washing
Machine to ensure that it operates as intended. Before cleaning your Washing Machine:
1
Turn your mains power supply off and remove the plug from the socket.
2
Turn off the cold water supply.
CAUTION:
Do not use solvents, abrasive cleaners, glass cleaners or all-purpose cleaning
agents to clean your Washing Machine. They may damage the plastic surfaces and other
components with the chemicals they contain.
External Casing:
Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent, or soap and water, to clean the external casing.
Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
The Drum:
Use a suitable stainless steel cleaning agent to clean the drum. Follow the manufacturer’s
advice on the cleaning agent’s packaging.
Extra Cleaning:
Deposits may build up in your machine when washing is mainly carried out at low
temperatures. To prevent these deposits from building up, carry out a hot wash (70oC
or above) once every 6 weeks. If you have no reason to wash occasionally at this high
temperature, run a high temperature cottons programme with detergent but no laundry at
regular intervals.
Filters:
Water Inlet Filters:
Water inlet filters prevent dirt and foreign materials from entering your machine. It is
recommended that these filters are cleaned when your machine is unable to receive sufficient
water, although your water supply is on and the tap is open.
To clean the water inlet filters:
1
Unscrew the water inlet hose from the Washing Machine by turning the hose anti-
clockwise and gently pulling.
2
To remove the water inlet filter from the water inlet valve, use a pair of long-nosed pliers to
gently pull on the plastic bar in the filter (fig 12).
