Cleaning the Drum
Any rust left inside the drum by metal articles must be removed immediately with chlorine-free
detergent. Never use steel wool.
Maintenance - Cleaning the Washing Machine
Cleaning the Door Seal and Window
• Wipe the window and seal after each wash to remove lint and stains. If lint builds up, it can
cause leaks.
• Remove any coins, buttons and other objects from the door seal after each wash.
Don’t put laundry in the washing machine during drum cleaning.
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 mold.
3. Return drawer to original position.
Siphon Plug
Pull out the detergent drawer. Remove the siphon plug and clean any residual softener
thoroughly. Fit the cleaned siphon plug in its location. Check it is fitted properly.
Pull out at the
same time
Press
Always unplug the machine before cleaning.
To prevent build-up of detergent residue, it is recommended to wash the appliance
without any load or detergent once a month.
