CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning The Exterior

As you use the washer, occasionally wipe the cabinet with a damp cloth or sponge; wipe dry with a soft cloth. Do not use polish or any kind on the plastic trim. Some polishes contain agents which may damage plastics.

Cleaning The Interior

If you live an area where phosphate detergents are banned, it may be necessary to recondition the washer periodically. Because a non-phosphate detergent must be used, body oils and detergent may accumulate in the washer tub. This is particularly evident in hard water areas or in homes, where heavily soiled garments are regularly laundered.

To remove this build-up, run the washer through a complete cycle using hot water and 2 cups of a non precipitating water conditioner. Do not add any clothes, laundry detergent or other laundry aids.

Once all accumulation has been removed, your laundry should be satisfactory if you follow the preventive suggestions in this guide-book.

General Maintenance

After washing is complete, the water faucets should be turned off to relieve water pressure on the hoses. Wipe the inside of the washer door with a soft cloth to remove any remaining moisture. Periodically, a thin coat of paste wax should be applied to the inner door of the washer; especially to the area which is immediately next to the door window.

This will protect the door finish from laundry aid spills and any discoloration which may results from these spills.

The interior of the machine should be cleaned periodi- cally by qualified service personnel.

Cleaning The Drain Screen

Clean the drain screen frequently. For instruction please refer to page 7 of this manual.
