These might damage your washing machine
• Concentrated bleaches and diaper sanitizer will cause damage to the paintwork and components of your washer.
• Hydrocarbon solvents i.e. gasoline, paint thinners and 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 increases the chance of this build-up occuring. We recommend a warm or hot wash
at regular intervals e.g. approx. every 5th wash.
• Fabric softener of thinner consistency is less likely to leave residue on the dispenser and contribute
to build-up.
Note
Scum is the name given to the waxy build-up that can occur within any washer when the fabric softener
comes into contact with detergent.
This build-up is not brought about by fault from the machine. If scum is allowed 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.
• Fill your machine with hot water. Add chlorine bleach or equivalent for cleaner.
Measure the amount of cleaner carefully by instructions on the bottle.
• Select Wash cycle and operate. Repeat it 2 or 3 times.
• Stop the machine, open the lid, and leave it to soak overnight.
• After soaking, drain the machine and run the machine 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 connecting washer to faucet should be replaced every 5 years.
Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth. Try not to hit surface with
sharp objects.
Be sure water supply is shut off at faucets. Drain all water from hoses if weather will
be below freezing.
