Cleaning and maintenance

Your washer is designed to give you many years of service. Observe the following instructions to maintain and protect your washer and keep it in top operating condition.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

If there is a buildup of residual detergent or additives, or if the softener compartment is not rinsed out well enough, it may be helpful to clean the dispenser.

9WARNING

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

To avoid risk of electric shock always disconnect the washer from the power outlet prior to cleaning. Never clean the washer with a pressure washer.

Cleaning the housing and control panel





 



9WARNING

RISK OF EXPLOSION!

To avoid risk of explosion never clean the washer with flammable solvents.

As required, you may clean the washer housing and control panel.

-use hot soapy water or a mild (non-abrasive) cleansing agent.

-Dry with a soft towel.

-Remove residue immediately.

-Do not use high pressure spray.

Cleaning the drum

Metallic debris left in the drum can produce rust spots on the drum. Never use steel wool to try to remove these. Use a chlorine-free cleansing agent and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Descaling the washer

Provided that you use correct amounts of detergent with your wash loads, descaling is not necessary. If descaling the washer drum does become necessary, please follow the descaling product manufacturer’s instructions.

Small amounts of descaling agent can be used to remove white spots on the washer drum caused by lime or mineral deposits or small amounts of rust caused by metal objects left in the drum.

NOTICE: Descaling agents contain acids which may attack parts of the washing machine and may discolor the laundry.

1.Open the dispenser drawer fully. Press down on the drawer catch (1) and pull the drawer (2) from the washer housing.

2.Remove the liquid detergent insert (3) by grasping it and pulling it upwards from the detergent dispenser drawer.

3.Clean the insert by holding it under warm running water. Lightly wipe away any remaining detergent residue.

4.Reinsert the liquid detergent insert and slide the detergent dispenser drawer back into place and close the drawer securely.

Tip: Do not operate the washer without the detergent drawer in place and completely closed.

Cleaning the water inlet strainers

If the washer water supply slows or stops completely, the water inlet strainer may be blocked. Cleaning is recommended every 6 months in any event to reduce chances of valve blockage in areas using hard water.

Release the water under pressure in the supply hoses

Normal water pressure in your home will cause some water to leak when you remove the water supply hose from the back of the washer. You can minimize this by first de-pressurizing the hoses.

1.Turn off the water tap.

2.Turn the cycle selector to any wash cycle (not to Drain or Spin).

3.Press Start/Pause and allow 30 seconds to pass.

4.Turn the cycle selector to the Off position.

This should reduce the water pressure on the water supply hose.
