CLEANING YOUR WASHER

Proper care of your washer can extend its life. This section explains how to care for your washer properly and safely.

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 of chlorine bleach mixed with 2 cups 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.

Replace inlet hoses after five years of use to reduce the risk of hose

failure. Periodically inspect and

_ WATER INLET HOSES

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.

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 quart 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 the power supply cord.

To use washer again:

1.Flush water pipes and hoses.

2.Reconnect water inlet hoses,

3.Turn on both water faucets.

4.Reconnect power supply cord.

5.Run the washer through a complete cycle with 1 cup 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 the power supply cord or turn off electrical power to the washer.

•Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.
