Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your washing machine.
Cleaning the Drum:
Periodically run a 'Drum Clean' cycle (if available) or a hot wash cycle with no laundry and a washing machine cleaner to remove residue and odors.
Cleaning the Magic Filter:
The Magic Filter collects lint and debris during washing. Remove and clean the filter regularly (e.g., after every 2-3 washes) to maintain efficient operation and prevent lint transfer to clothes.
Exterior Cleaning:
Wipe the exterior surfaces of the washing machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
Drain Hose:
Periodically check the drain hose for any kinks, blockages, or damage that could impede water drainage.
