Cleaning the Inside of your Washer
If you use fabric softener or do regular COLD water washing, it is very important that you occasionally clean the
inside of your washer.
• Fill your washer with HOT water.
• Add about two cups of a powdered Detergent that contains phosphate.
• Let it operate for several minutes.
• Stop the washer, open the lid and leave it to soak overnight.
• After soaking, drain the washer and run it through a normal cycle.
Or use TUB CLEAN PROGRAM periodically.
Do not wash clothes during this procedure.
• Concentrated bleaches and nappy sanitizer will cause damage to the paintwork and components of your washer.
Products that might damage your washing machine
• Hydrocarbon solvents i.e. petrol, 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 when applied next to the washer.
• 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.

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.)
