Caring for your washer
When you have finished using your washer
Unplug the machine from the power socket.
Wipe around the door and in the rubber gasket to remove any remaining water and foreign
matter.
Turn off the taps to prevent the chance of flooding should a hose burst.
Cleaning your QuickSmart™ or WashSmart™
Before you start cleaning your washer, ensure that it is disconnected from the power (ie unplug
the machine from the power socket).
Cleaning the control panel and outer surfaces of the washer
Use a soft damp cloth to wipe all surfaces, then wipe dry. Avoid using chemical or scouring
cleaners, as these will damage the paint and plastic surfaces of your washer.
Cleaning the detergent dispenser drawer
Wipe out the detergent dispenser drawer with a damp cloth. Clean it regularly, especially if you
use fabric softener. To remove the drawer, pull it open, push down on the blue tab in the fabric
softener compartment (labelled “PUSH”) and pull out. Rinse it out under warm water and replace.
Cleaning the inside of your washer
It is important that you regularly clean the inside of your machine using the DRUM CLEAN cycle.
After 100cycles your washer will flash the DRUM CLEAN cycle icon every time you turn your
washer on to remind you to do this. If your washer starts to smell this is a sign that you should
complete a DRUM CLEAN cycle. We recommend that you do not have any items in the washer
when you run this cycle.
Cleaning steps
1
Add approximately 2 full scoops of a good quality powdered
detergent directly into the main wash detergent compartment
of the dispenser drawer (marked “2”). Or use a drum cleaning
product specifically designed for front loading washing machines
(follow the manufacturer’s instructions).
2
Press POWER to turn your machine on and select the
DRUMCLEAN cycle.
3
Touch START / PAUSE to start the cycle (refer to pages 20and21
for cycle details).
Cleaning the drum and the door
Use a soft damp cloth to wipe the door, cleaning any water marks or residue off it.
Wipe the rubber ring around the door. Remove any items or lint accumulating in the bottom
of the ring catchment and wipe out any water accumulated here. If this is not cleaned out,
unpleasant odours will develop.
If the drum has any residual dirt or lint stuck to it, remove this and wipe the drum clean.
Do not leave any metal objects in the drum as these may rust and cause staining.
Do not allow children to swing on or place any weight on the door when open as this may
cause damage.
