MACHINE INFORMATIONCARE 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 thelid
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 anti-clockwise.
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.
