Caring for your AquaSmart™ washer
When you have finished the cycle
Turn off the taps to prevent the chance of flooding should a hose burst.
Unplug the machine from the wall socket.
Cleaning your AquaSmart™
Before you start cleaning your AquaSmart™ washer, ensure that it is turned off at the wall.
Cleaning the soft touch buttons and topdeck
Use a soft damp cloth to wipe all surfaces, and wipe dry. Avoid using chemical or scouring cleaners, as these will damage the paint and plastic surfaces of your washer.
You can also remove the lid for cleaning. Open the lid fully, grasp the lid on both sides. Lift in an upward motion, as shown. To replace the lid, hold the lid vertically and align both hinges before pushing downwards and slotting back into place.

Cleaning the detergent and fabric softener dispensers Wipe out the detergent dispenser with a damp cloth.
The funnel of the fabric softener dispenser (the top) clicks off easily. Simply place a finger down the centre and lift. The fabric softener well is not removable and needs to be wiped clean periodically. If the siphon tube looks partially blocked use a cotton bud to clean.
Cleaning the inside of your washer
It is important that you occasionally clean the inside of your AquaSmart™ washer. We recommend that you use the AUTO CLEAN cycle 5 – 6 times a year and suggest that you do not wash clothes during this cycle.
1Add approximately 2 scoops of a powdered detergent that contain phosphate directly into the detergent dispenser.
2Turn your machine on and press and hold the HIGH EFFICIENCY and START button.
3Your AquaSmart™ will automatically start an AUTO CLEAN cycle that incorporates a full bowl of hot water and a 2 hour soak to ensure that your washer is thoroughly cleaned.
