How to take care of the washing machine
Some general recommendations for the care of an automatic washing machine (depending on the washing machine taking care of the machine can have its own individual needs).
The manufacturer recommends the filter for incoming water in the washing machine to be cleaned from time to time, especially if the water is too rigid or contains calcium sediment.
To ensure the smooth operation of the washing machine it is necessary to check periodically the condition of the drainage pump filter. Drainage filter delays the small objects that could remain in clothing.
Washing machine drawer (the one in which dispenses powder, fabric softener, etc.) should be periodically rinsed, because with the passage of time washing powder forms as clogs in the drawer.
The compartment for a washing machine drawer needs to be cleaned from time to time with a brush as the detergent powder can collect in it, after the cleaning termination put the drawer into place and start a washing machine in a rinsing mode.
Washing machine drum
From time to time the washing machine drum should be cleared.
Though the washing machine drum is produced from stainless steel, rust specks can be caused by small metal items (paper clips, pins, coins) stuck in the drum.
If you use any cleaners, be sure that they are suitable for a washing machine. Remove stains only with special means for removing stains from steel. Never use a metal sponge.
Washer cleaning
Outside of washing machines:
The outside of the washing machines should be cleaned with a damp cloth with a neutral detergent. Then wipe the washing machine with a clean cloth and let it dry. Attention! Do not wipe the machine with ethyl alcohol, solvent or other similar substances.
Inner part of a washing machine:
Wash the inside of the washing machine with 1 glass (250 ml) bleach mixed with 2 glasses (500 ml) of washing powder.
Turn on machine and allow it to fully implement the program of washing, using hot water. If necessary, repeat the procedure.
