MAINTENANCE
WARNING
• Unplug the appliance before cleaning to avoid the risk of electric shock. Failure to follow this warning
may result in serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents to clean the appliance. They may damage the
finish.
Cleaning after Every Wash
What to Clean
• If you always use cold water, we recommend
that a warm or hot wash be used at regular
intervals e.g. every 5th wash should be at least a
warm one.
• Turn off taps after use to prevent the chance of
flooding, otherwise an inlet hose may burst.
• Always unplug the power cord after use.
• After the cycle, wipe the door and inside the door
to remove any moisture. Also wipe the inside of
the tub thoroughly to prevent stains in the upper
part of the tub.
• Clean around the bleach dispenser with water to
flush any residual bleach from the dispenser
opening as bleach can be corrosive if left
undiluted.
WARNING
• Leave the door open to dry the drum interior but
only if it is safe and any children are supervised.
Cleaning the Exterior
Proper care of the appliance can extend the service
life.
Exterior
• Immediately wipe off any spills.
• Wipe with a damp cloth.
• Do not press on the surface or the display with
sharp objects.
Dispenser Drawer
Detergent or fabric softener may build up in the
dispenser drawer. Remove the drawer and inserts
from the dispenser drawer and clean any buildup
once or twice a month.
Cleaning the Appliance
Periodically
Tub Clean
This is a special function to help clean the inside of
the appliance by soaking, washing, rinsing and
spinning.
Run this function once a month (or more often if
needed) to reduce build-up of detergent and
softener and other residue.
• If there is a bad smell or mildew inside the
appliance, run this function once a week for 3
weeks in addition to the regularly prompted
intervals.
NOTE
• For models with a lint filter, remove lint or dirt
from the inside of the lint filter before and after
using this programme.
• For models without a lint filter, the lint is
discharged when the water drains during
washing.
• Washing small loads regularly (less than half a
tub). This may result in stains being left on the
edge of the tub that do not reach the top of the
tub. To avoid stains at the top of the tub, wash
