WASHER CARE

Cleaning Your Washer

Cleaning the interior

Use a soft damp cloth or sponge to occasionally wipe the inner door to remove any detergent residue. Use mild soap and water. Do not use abrasive products.

Cleaning the dispenser drawer

The dispenser drawer is removable for easy cleaning.

1.Unlock the dispenser drawer by pressing the Release Lever. See “Using the Dispenser.” Remove the drawer.

2.Remove the inserts (the siphon from the softener and bleach compartments and the separator).

3.Wash the parts under running water.

4.Replace the inserts and return the dispenser to the drawer.

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, record the date of replacement.

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. If storing or moving your washer during freezing weather, winterize it.

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 accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.

■Slightly open door to provide ventilation.

To winterize washer:

1.Put 1 quart (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the drum.

2.Run washer on a DRAIN / SPIN cycle.

3.Unplug washer or disconnect power.

4.Shut off both water faucets.

5.Disconnect water inlet hoses from faucets and drain.

To use washer again:

1.Flush water pipes.

2.Reconnect water inlet hoses to faucets.

3.Turn on both water faucets.

4.Plug in washer or reconnect power.

5.Run the washer through the NORMAL/CASUAL cycle with ¼ the normal recommended amount of detergent to clean out antifreeze.

To transport the washer:

1.If washer will be moved during freezing weather, put in a quart (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the drum. Run washer on a DRAIN / SPIN cycle.

2.Unplug the power cord.

3.Disconnect the drain hose from the drain system and attach to rear panel clips.

4.Shut off both water faucets.

5.Disconnect the water inlet hoses from faucets, then drain the hoses and clip them to the rear panel of the washer.

6.Do not reuse transport bolts. Unit must be transported in the upright position.

Re-installing the washer

1.Follow the “Installation Instructions” to locate, level and connect the washer.

2.Run the washer through the NORMAL/CASUAL cycle with ¼ the normal recommended amount of detergent to clean the washer and remove the antifreeze, if used.
