Caring For Your Washer
When you have Finished Using your Washer
• Turn off the faucets to prevent the chance of flooding should a hose burst.
• Turn off the power at the wall.
Cold Water Washing
If you always wash with cold water, we recommend that a WARM or HOT wash be
used at regular intervals, eg every 5th wash should be at least a warm one.
Cleaning your Washer
Ensure the power is turned off at the wall before cleaning your washer.
• Clean the surfaces of your washer with a soft damp cloth only and wipe dry. Do not use scouring or spray
cleaners as they can damage the paint, plastic and panel surfaces.
• Clean the fabric softener dispenser after each cycle using warm soapy water.
• To remove the agitator for cleaning, unscrew the nut down the center of the agitator by turning anti-clockwise.
•The agitator must be fully pushed onto the shaft when refitting. Tighten the nut firmly by
hand. Ensure the agitator is not loose.
•The soft close lid is not designed to be removable for cleaning. Do not attempt to remove the lid.

Cleaning the Inside of your Washer
If you use fabric softener or do regular cold water washing, it is important that you occasionally clean the inside of your
machine. We recommend completing the following cycle 5 – 6 times a year:
• Add about two scoops of a good quality powdered detergent or a machine cleaner to the machine (down the
dispenser).
• Press POWER and select ALLERGY cycle, HIGH water level, MEDIUM spin and the SOAK option.
• Press START/PAUSE.
We do not recommend that you wash clothes during this procedure.
Cleaning the Fabric Softener Dispenser
When using fabric softener, rinse your dispenser at the end of each wash using
warm soapy water.
• Separate the cup from the dispenser body by pushing downwards on the
base of the cup.

Products that might Damage your Washer
• Concentrated bleaches, diaper sanitizer and hydrocarbon solvents (eg petrol and paint thinners) can cause
damage to the paint work and components of your washer. Be careful when washing garments stained with
solvents as they are flammable. DO NOT put them in your dryer.
• Do not use pre-treatment sprays or liquids on or near your washer as they can damage your machine’s control
panel and plastic surfaces.
• 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.
Washer Sounds and Beeps
Your washer will make sounds that you will not have heard from other clothes washers.
• While draining, your machine may give several low thuds. Your machine is checking that the water has drained
before spinning.
• Your WashSmart will beep at the end of the cycle.

• If your machine is beeping continuously or giving a musical series of beeps, refer to pages 39 and 40.
Automatic Lint System
Your washer has a self-cleaning lint system. The machine automatically separates the lint from the wash water, traps
the lint between the inner basket and outer tub and flushes it out at the end of the wash.
