CARE AND CLEANING

CLEANING THE WASHER

1.Remove the electrical plug and turn off the water taps after finishing the day’s washing. This will shut off the water supply to the clothes washer and prevent the unlikely possibility of damage from escaping water.

2.Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent or other spills as they occur.

3.Clean the following as recommended:

•Control Panel – clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads. Do not scratch

or scrape the control panel with any sharp object, including fingernails. Do not spray cleaners directly on the panel.

•Cabinet – clean with soap and water followed with an appliance wax, if desired.

•Interior – hard water deposits may be removed, if needed, using a recommended cleaner labeled clothes washer safe.

CLEANING THE DISPENSER

The dispenser may need to be cleaned periodically due to laundry additive build-up.There are two options for cleaning the dispenser; automatic and manual.

The Automatic Dispenser and Machine Cleaning programme is used to rinse out the dispenser and the tub. The machine circulates cold water through the dispenser, goes through a minimal tumble and then drains. To access the Automatic Dispenser & Machine Cleaning programme:

1.Press “More Programmes” on the Home screen.

2.Press “Automatic Dispenser & Machine Cleaning.”

3.Press the Start/Pause button to run programme.

To clean the dispenser by hand, use the following steps:

1.Remove the main cup from the dispenser by pulling up and out on the cup.

2.Once the two-compartment main cup is removed from the main dispenser, take it to a sink.

3.Remove the softener siphon cap covering the siphon tube in the softener compartment.

4.Run warm water and a soft brush or cloth over the two parts to remove any excess laundry additives. Clean the main dispenser area using water and a soft cloth.

5.Once the main dispenser is clean, follow the illustrations in reverse order to replace pieces back into the dispenser.

NOTE: Do not use any cleaning substance but water in the main dispenser. It is possible for cleaning substances to

drain into the tub. If this should happen, set the washer for a rinse and spin cycle to remove any cleaning substance from

the washer before doing a load of laundry.
