CARING FOR YOUR WASHER
Cleaning the hose(s)
Each hose has a filter in it, preventing any solid contaminants in the water entering your
washing machine. Occasionally you should disconnect the water inlet hose(s) where they
connect to the tap(s), check these for any build up of dirt and wash this out.
Nappy sanitisers/bleach
Nappy sanitisers and bleach are very corrosive to metal surfaces. DO NOT tip the contents
of a nappy bucket into your machine. Rinse and wring items out thoroughly before placing
them in the machine.
Moving your washer
If you need to move your washer a considerable distance (eg moving house), remember
to replace the transit bolts before moving it. These will protect internal components of the
washer from damage.
To replace the transit bolts, pull out the bolt-hole covers in the back of the machine. Push
the transit bolt rubber grommets and plastic spaces into the hole left and tighten it with the
spanner provided with the product.
Make sure any water in the washer is drained out. This can be done by cleaning out the
pump filter, refer to ‘Caring for your washer’ ‘Cleaning the pump filter’.
z
Leave the door to your washer open when it is not in use to allow the washer to dry
out, otherwise it will develop unpleasant odours. When leaving the door open like this,
it is extremely important that children and pets are kept away from the washer so they
cannot be accidentally trapped inside it.
z
Aside from the detergent dispenser, water hose(s), and the pump filter, no other parts
are designed to be removed from the machine for cleaning. Do not attempt to remove
any other part of the machine.
