Refer to page 24.

*  Use the Bulky/Bedding cycle for items such as pillows, comforters and other articles which have difficultly absorbing water. ONLY 

WASH SMALL LOADS to make sure there is plenty of room for the load to move during washing. Keep like items together; do not mix 
large bulky items with smaller clothing items. Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage to the clothing or to the washer.

When there is the possibility of freezing temperatures

• Close the water taps and remove the water supply hoses.
• Remove the water which remains in the water supply.
• Lower the drain hose and drain the water in the sump and the drain hose by running a spin cycle. 

Cleaning the inside of your washer

If you use fabric softener or do regular COLD water washing, it is very important that you
clean the inside of your washer occasionally as described below. 
• Fill your washer with HOT water.
• Add 1 cup of bleach. 
• 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.

Products that 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. 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.
• 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 frozen

• Remove the water supply hose and immerse it in HOT water. (40° C or 104° F).
• Pour approximately 2 liters (4

½ pounds ) of HOT water (40° C or 104° F) into the sump and allow it ti stand for

at least 10 minutes. 

• Connect the water supply hose to the water tap run a SPEED WASH cycle to confirm that the machine fills,

drains, and operates properly. 

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. Avoid hitting surface with sharp objects.

Be sure water supply is shut off at faucets. Drain all water from hoses if weather will be
below freezing.
