CARING FOR YOUR WASHER
Nappy sanitisers/bleach
Nappy sanitisers and bleach are very corrosive to metal surfaces. DO NOT tip the
contents of a nappy bucket into your washer. Rinse and wring items out thoroughly
before placing them in the washer.
IMPORTANT!
Leave the door to your washer open when it is not in use to allow the washer to dry
out, otherwise it will develop unpleasant odours. When leaving the door open like
this, it is extremely important that children and pets are kept away from the washer
so they cannot be accidentally trapped inside it.
Aside from the detergent dispenser, water hoses, and the pump filter, no other parts
are designed to be removed from the washer for cleaning. Do not attempt to remove
any other part of the washing machine.
Detergent advice
If unpleasant odours are noticeable from your washer, it is possible that not enough
detergent is being used for the soil level in your loads. Run a ‘Drum Clean’ cycle and
either buy a better quality detergent or use a higher dose. If you are using an ‘Eco’
detergent, alternate the use of this with a mainstream detergent.
Add detergent BEFORE starting the cycle, close the dispenser and do not open it while
the cycle is running.
If you find foam leaking from your washer, check if you are using a low sudsing or front
loader type detergent. When using ‘Manual Dose’, check the quantity you are using
against the manufacturer’s recommended dose on the label. You may need to reduce
the amount you are using.
If using ‘Auto Dose’ you may need to reduce the amount used. Refer to ‘Auto Detergent’
in the Options menu (refer to page 28) to adjust the dosage.
Fabric softener advice
Clean your dispenser regularly.
Clean your washer regularly using the ‘Drum Clean’ cycle.
Complete wash cycles at a wash temperature of 40°C or above at regular intervals
(egevery 5thwash) as washing in cold water increases the chance of scrud occurring
(seebelow).
Scrud is the name of the waxy build-up that can occur within any washer when fabric
softener comes in contact with detergent. This build-up is not brought about by a fault
in the washing machine. If scrud is allowed to build up in the washer it can result in
stains on clothes and an unpleasant smell in your washer.
If a particularly dirty load needs to be washed, we recommend putting the washer
through a ‘Rinse’ cycle once the entire cycle has finished and the load has been
removed. This will help clean out any residue from that cycle.
