CARING FOR YOUR WASHER
When you have finished using your washer

Turn off the taps 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
Note: 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 centre of the agitator by
turning anti-clockwise.

The SmartTouch™ Control Dial and soft close lid are not designed to be removable for
cleaning. Do not attempt to remove the dial or lid.
ImpORTANT!
The agitator must be fully pushed onto the shaft when refitting. Tighten the nut firmly
by hand. Ensure the agitator is not loose.
Cleaning the inside of your washer
It is important that you occasionally clean the inside of your machine. Your FabricSmart™
has a ‘Bowl Clean’ cycle specifically for this purpose and will remind you every 100 cycles
to run this cycle (the ‘Bowl Clean’ cycle icon will flash to alert you), or we recommend
completing this cycle 5–6 times a year. We suggest that you do not have any items in
the washer when you run this cycle.
Cleaning steps
1
Add approximately 2 full scoops of a good quality powdered detergent directly into the
detergent dispenser.
2
Touch to turn your machine on and select the ‘Bowl Clean’ cycle.
3
Touch to start the cycle (refer to the ‘Wash cycles’ section for cycle details).
