Care and Maintenance
IMPORTANT: Always unplug the washing machine before cleaning.
Cleaning the drum
• Any rust left inside the drum by metal articles must be removed immediately with
chlorine-free detergent.
• Never use steel wool.
Cleaning the exterior of your washing machine
• Clean the outside of your washing machine with a soft cloth and mild detergent such
as kitchen detergent.
• Don’t splash water over the washing machine.
• Do not use cream cleansers, thinners or products containing alcohol or kerosene.
Cleaning the detergent drawer
1. Remove the detergent drawer by pulling and pressing
gently on the rear centre part of the softener compartment.
2. Wash out old detergent from the drawer with water. (Use
a cloth to clean the washing machine.) Residue detergent
soon builds up if you don’t clean the drawer regularly, and
can develop mould.
3. Return drawer to original position.
4. Pull out the detergent drawer. Remove the siphon plug and clean
any residual softener thoroughly. Fit the cleaned siphon plug in
its location. Check if it is fitted properly.
