The Auto Dispense unit must be cleaned regularly to ensure proper operation at all times.

1. Remove the Auto Dispense unit from the washing machine
2. Wipe out the recess of the Auto Dispense unit using a dry cloth.
3. Remove two knobs of the Auto Dispense unit as well as the two caps at the bottom, and run water through the Auto Dispense unit to clean the inner area.
   Do not shake the Auto Dispense unit as you may be spattered with water from the vent of the Auto Dispense unit.

5. Reinsert the Auto Dispense unit in the original position. 
   

• Always use HE detergent made for high-efficiency (HE) machines, and use the minimum amount of detergent as per recommendation from the detergent manufacturer (more is not necessarily better).
• Regular detergents produce much more suds and use of low quality detergents over time can cause faults or reduce lifespan of your washing machine .
  Also, over time use of not suitable detergent could cause build up a film on the inner drum and inside hoses which than becomes a breeding ground for mold.
• Remove finished loads immediately. Do not leave damp clothes in the machine (this provides an ideal breeding environment for bad odour and mildew).
• When not in use, leave the door of the washer open, to improve air circulation inside the machine and to prevent the build-up of mold and mildew. Clean out the washer door's rubber seal regularly by wiping with clean water.
