These might damage your washing machine
• Concentrated bleaches and diaper sanitizer will cause damages to the paintwork and components of your washer.
• Hydrocarbon solvents, such as gasoline, paint thinners, lacquer thinners, etc. can dissolve plastic and blister
paint. Be careful when washing garments stained with these solvents as they are flammable. DO NOT put them
in washer or dryer.
• Some pretreatment sprays or liquids can damage your washer's control panel.
• Use of dyes in your washer may cause staining of the plastic components. The dye will not damage the machine
but we suggest you thoroughly clean your washer afterwards. We do not recommend the use of dye strippers in
your washer.
• Do not use your washer lid as a work surface.
If you wish to use fabric softener, we recommend
• Clean your machine regularly.
• Cold water washing results in build-up.
We recommend warm or hot wash at regular intervals for example, approximately every 5th wash.
• Fabric softener of thinner consistency is less likely to leave the residue on the dispenser and contribute
to build-up.
Note
Scum is the name given to the waxy build-up that can occur inside any washer when the fabric softener
comes into contact with detergent.
This build-up is not due to a fault of the washer. If scum has accumulated in the machine,
it can result in stains on your clothes or an unpleasant smell in your washer.
How to clean the inside of your washing machine
If you use fabric softener or do regular cold water washing, it is important that you occasionally clean
the inside of your machine as following;
1. Fill your machine with hot water. Add chlorine bleach or equivalent for cleaner.
Measure the amount of cleaner carefully according to instructions on the bottle.
2. Select wash cycle and operate. Repeat it 2 or 3 times.
3. Stop the machine and open the lid. Leave it to soak overnight.
4. After soaking, drain and run through a regular cycle.
We do not recommend that you wash clothes during this procedure.
Leave the lid open after washing to allow moisture to evaporate.
If you want to clean the inner-tub, use a clean soft cloth dampened with liquid detergent,
then rinse. Do not use harsh or gritty cleaners.
Hoses should be replaced every 5 years.
Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth.
Try not to hit surface with sharp objects.
Drain all water from hoses if weather will be below freezing.
