Cleaning your washing machine

Clean the outside of your washing machine with a soft cloth and mild

detergent such as kitchen detergent and soap water.

*Don’t splash water over the washing machine.

*Do not use cream cleansers, thinners or products containing alcohol or kerosene.

Cleaning your detergent drawer

First, remove the detergent drawer by lifting and pulling at the same time.

●Wash out old detergent from the drawer with water. (Use a cloth to clean the washing machine.)

*Residue detergent soon builds up if you don’t clean the drawer regularly, and can develop mould.

Cleaning your washing machine door seal and window

(see also page 6)

Wipe the window and seal after each wash to remove lint and stains. If lint builds up, it can cause leaks.

The door opens at different angles if the drum seal is wet.

Remove any coins, buttons and other objects from the door seal after each wash.
