CLEANING YOUR WASHER
Exterior
Wipe up detergent, bleach, and other spills
with a soft, damp cloth or sponge as they
occur. Occasionally wipe the outside 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 replacement on the label with
a permanent marke£
WINTER STORAGE
OR MOVING CARE
Install and store your washer where
it will not freeze. Because some water
may stay in the hoses, 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 antifreeze
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
net 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.
