Cleaning Your Washer

Cleaning the exterior
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills such as
detergent or bleach. Occasionally wipe the outside of your washer
to keep it looking new.
Cleaning the interior
Clean your washer interior by mixing 250 ml (1 cup) of chlorine
bleach and 500 ml (2 cups) of detergent. Pour this into your
washer and run it through a complete cycle using hot water.
Repeat this process if necessary.
NOTE: Remove any hard water deposits using only cleaners
labeled for washer use.
Cleaning the liquid fabric softener dispenser
Flush dispenser periodically with warm water, as shown. Remove
the dispenser by grasping the top of the dispenser with both
hands and squeezing and pushing upward with thumbs. Clean the
dispenser by rinsing it under a water tap. Replace it after cleaning.
NOTE: Some models are equipped with a liquid fabric softener
dispenser. To avoid damage to the washer or clothing, do not
wash clothes with the liquid fabric softener dispenser removed or
add detergent or bleach to this dispenser; it is for liquid fabric
softener only.

WASHER CARE

Replace inlet hoses after 5 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 marker.

Vacation, Storage and 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.
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
flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.
To use washer again
1. Flush water pipes and hoses. Reconnect water inlet hoses.
Turn on both water taps.
Electrically earth this appliance.
Do not use an extension cord or an electrical portable
outlet device.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire or electric shock.
2. Plug in washer or reconnect power.
3. Run the washer through a complete cycle with 250 ml
(1 cup) of detergent.
