MACHINE INFORMATION
CARE AND CLEANING
WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED
•Turn off the faucets to prevent any chance of flooding should a hose burst.
•Unplug the machine from the wall socket.
COLD WATER WASHING
If you always use cold water, we recommend that a warm or hot wash be used at regular intervals eg every fifth wash should be at least a warm wash.
CLEANING YOUR SMART DRIVE
•Use a damp cloth or warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use chemical or scouring cleaners as they can damage the paint and plastic surfaces.
•Clean the fabric softener dispenser regularly using warm soapy water.
•You can remove the lid for cleaning. Open the lid fully, hold one side with one hand and gently tap
the other side with an upward motion.
To replace the lid, hold the lid vertically and align both hinges before pushing down firmly.
• To remove the agitator for cleaning, unscrew the nut down the center of the agitator by turning
CAUTION:The agitator must be fully pushed on to the shaft when refitting. Tighten the nut firmly by hand. Ensure the agitator is not loose.
CLEANING THE INSIDE OF YOUR SMART DRIVE
If you use fabric softener or do regular cold water washing, it is important that you occasionally clean the inside of your machine.
•Fill your machine with hot water. Add about two cups of a powdered detergent.
•Let it agitate for several minutes.
•Stop the machine, open the lid, and leave it to soak overnight.
•After soaking, drain the machine and run the machine through a regular cycle.
We do not recommend that you wash clothes during this procedure.
