Last Update date : Nov 20. 2020

A healthy Washing Machine helps to prevent deteriorating performance and also prolong its lifecycle.

To learn more about how to maintain your Samsung QuickDrive Washing Machine, follow these steps:

Cleaning

To clean the surface of the Washing Machine, use a soft cloth with a nonabrasive household detergent. Do not spray water onto the Washing Machine.

Exterior

• Turn off the water taps after finishing the day’s washing. This will shut off the water supply to your Washing Machine and prevent the unlikely possibility of damage from escaping water. Leave the door open to allow the inside of your Washing Machine to dry out.

• Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, other spills as they occur.

Control panels – Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads. Do not spray cleaners directly on the panels

Cabinet – Clean with soap and water

Interior
Clean the interior of your Washing Machine periodically to remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew, or bacterial residue that may remain in your Washing Machine as a result of washing clothes.

Add Door

To clean the Add Door, follow these steps:

1 Open the Add Door

2 Use a wet cloth to clean the Add Door

3 Once done, close the Add Door until you hear a clicking sound

Please note:

• Do not use cleaning agents to clean the Add Door. Discolouration may occur
• Dust off the door area regularly

Mesh filter

Clean the mesh filter of the water hose once or twice a year

1 Turn off the Washing Machine, and unplug the power cord
