CLEANING YOUR WASHER
Exterior
Wipe up detergent, bleach, and other
spills with a soft, damp cloth or sponge
as they occur, Occasionally wipe the out-
side of the washer to keep it looking like
new.
Do not put sharp or metal objects in your
washer. They can damage the finish.
Check all pockets for pins, clips, money,
bolts, nuts, etc. Do not lay these objects
on your washer after emptying pockets.
Interior
Clean interior with 1 cup (250 mL) of
chlorine bleach mixed with 2 cups
(500 mL) of detergent. Run washer
through a complete cycle using hot
water. Repeat process if necessary.
NOTE: Remove hard water deposits
using only cleaners labeled as
washer safe.
WATER INLET HOSES
Replace inlet hoses after five years of
use to reduce the risk of hose failure.
Periodically inspect and replace inlet
hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or
leaks are found. When replacing your
inlet hoses, mark the date of replace-
ment on the label with a permanent
marker.
WINTER STORAGE
OR MOVING CARE
Install and store your washer where it
will not freeze. Because some water
may stay in the hoses and pump,
freezing can damage your washer. If
storing or moving your washer during
freezing weather, winterize it.
To winterize washer:
1. Shut off both water faucets,
2. Disconnect and drain water inlet
hoses.
3. Put 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze
in the basket.
4. Run washer on a SPIN setting for
about 30 seconds to mix the
anti-freeze and water. Some of the
mixture will pump out while the
washer spins.
5. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
To use washer again:
1. Flush water pipes and hoses.
2. Reconnect water inlet hoses.
3. Turn on both water faucets.
4. Plug in washer or reconnect power.
5. Run the washer through a complete
cycle with 1 cup (250 mL) of
detergent to clean out antifreeze.
NON-USE OR VACATION CARE
Operate your washer only when you
are at home. If you will be on vacation or
not using your washer for an
extended period of time, you should:
• Unplug washer or disconnect power.
• Turn off the water supply to the
washer. This helps avoid accidental
flooding (due to a water pressure
surge) while you are away.
