Caring for your AquaSmart™ washer
32
Cleaning the inside of your washer
It is important that you occasionally clean the inside of your
washer. Your AquaSmart™ has a self cleaning cycle specifically
for this purpose. We recommend that you use the CLEAN ME
cycle 5 – 6 times a year and suggest that you do not wash
clothes during this cycle.
Add approximately 2 scoops of a powdered detergent directly into the detergent dispenser (or
1
directly into the wash basket if your machine does not have dispensing ability).
Turn your machine on.
2
Press and hold the HIGH EFFICIENCY and START buttons together.

Your AquaSmart™ will automatically start a CLEAN ME cycle that incorporates a full basket of hot
4
water and a one hour soak to ensure that your washer is thoroughly cleaned.
Cleaning your low profile agitator
If your low profile agitator becomes stained we recommend you use household bleach to clean
it. Ensure you wear gloves, tip a small amount of household bleach onto a soft cloth and apply
to the stain. Be careful to avoid metal surfaces of your washer. Leave it to soak in for 10 minutes
and repeat. Then put your AquaSmart™ washer through the CLEAN ME cycle to remove any
residual bleach (refer above).
Automatic lint disposal system
With AquaSmart™ there is no need to remove messy lint filters. Your AquaSmart™ has a self
cleaning lint disposal system. It automatically separates the lint from the wash water as it
washes. The lint becomes trapped between the inner basket and outer tub and is flushed out at
the end of the wash.
Diaper sanitizers/bleach
Diaper sanitizers and bleach are very corrosive to metal surfaces. DO NOT use your AquaSmart™
to soak items in bleach or sanitizer, or tip the contents of the diaper bucket into your washer.
Rinse and wring items out thoroughly before placing them in the washer.
Pre-wash stain removers
Avoid directly exposing your washing machine lid to pre-wash fabric stain removers as they can
contain aggressive solvents that cause damage to plastic surfaces. Apply stain remover away
from your washer, or protect the surface, eg. with a towel. If exposure occurs immediately wipe
down the lid with warm soapy water.
