WASHER CARE
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
Use the following procedure. Your washer interior should be
cleaned at least once per month to reduce or prevent any
accumulation
of mold or mildew.
•
To clean your washer interior, add both 1 cup (250 mL) of
chlorine bleach and 1 scoop or capful of High Efficiency
detergent into your detergent dispenser, and run the washer
through the Normal cycle without clothes, using hot water.
Repeat this process if necessary.
•
Inspect interior of washer for lint and other debris that may
accumulate on the basket, wash plate and tub ring. Remove
and dispose of any accumulation
as necessary.
•
Leave washer lid open between cycles to allow the interior of
the washer to dry out.
NOTE: Remove any hard water deposits using only cleaners
labeled as washer safe.
Fabric softener
and liquid chlorine bleach dispensers
Remove the cover that houses both the fabric softener and liquid
chlorine bleach dispensers. Use a soft cloth with a mild detergent
and warm water to clean the interior of both dispensers and the
inside surfaces of the cover. Reinstall the cover before washing
your next load.
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 marker.
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.
Non-use
or vacation
cars
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.
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 the Extended Spin setting for about
30 seconds to mix the antifreeze and remaining water.
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 any cycle with 1/2the normal
recommended
amount of High Efficiency detergent to clean
out the antifreeze.
To transport the washer:
1. Shut off both water faucets.
2. Disconnect
and drain water inlet hoses.
3. If the washer will be moved during freezing weather, put 1 qt
(1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the basket. Run washer on the
Extended Spin setting for about 30 seconds to mix the
antifreeze and remaining water.
4. Disconnect the drain from the drain system.
5. Unplug the power cord.
6. Place the inlet hoses into the basket.
7. Drape the power cord and drain hose over edge into the
basket.
8. Place the expanded foam plug retained from the washer's
shipping material into basket opening. Close the lid and put a
piece of tape over the lid and down to the front of the washer.
Reinstalling
the washer
1. Follow the "Installation
Instructions" to locate, level and
connect the washer.
2. Run the washer through any cycle with 1/2the normal
recommended

out the antifreeze, if used.
