If you always select cool 30°C - 40°C quick wash programs this will cause a build up of a greasy deposit and unpleasant odours can form in the washing machine.

Two to three times a year, (about every 4 months) simply run your Washing machine on the hottest (90°C -  95°C) wash, with the correct amount of detergent for normal soiling.

This " maintenance wash " will keep the machine and the outlet hose clean and free from a build-up of dirt and grease.

Regularly clean all detergent and fabric softener compartments of the drawer.

Regularly clean the drawer housing.

Ensure the fabric softener compartment is empty before adding fabric softeners.

If using liquid detergents in the detergent drawer, the program must be started immediately.

Alternatively pour the liquid into a little plastic dosing ball, and then put it into washing machine on top of the clothes.

Follow the dosage recommendation given in the instruction book and the guide lines on detergent packs.

Regularly clean the pump filters.
