Cleaning the Drum
Any rust left inside the drum by metal articles must be removed immediately with chlorine-free
detergent. Never use steel wool.
Cleaning the Exterior of your Washing Machine
• Clean the outside of your washing machine with a soft cloth and mild detergent such as
kitchen detergent.
• Don’t splash water over the washing machine.
• Do not use cream cleansers, thinners or products containing alcohol or kerosene.
Cleaning the Detergent Drawer
1. Remove the detergent drawer by pushing gently down on the softener compartment then
pulling the drawer from the machine.
2. 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.
3. Return drawer to original position.
Maintenance - Cleaning the Washing Machine
Always unplug the washing machine before cleaning.
To prevent build-up of detergent residue, it is recommended to wash the appliance

• Clean the detergent drawer every 3 months to ensure the normal operation of the
appliance.
