WASHER/DRYER MAINTENANCE

WATER INLET HOSES

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.

Cleaning the washer/dryer location

Keep washer/dryer area clear and free from items that would block the air flow for proper washer/dryer operation. This includes clearing piles of laundry in front of the washer/ dryer.

CLEANING YOUR WASHER

Keep your washer as clean and fresh as your clothes. To keep washer interior odor-free, follow this recommended monthly cleaning procedure:

1.Make sure the washer is empty.

2.Using recommended AFFRESH® washer cleaner, add one tablet to washer basket

OR

If using liquid chlorine bleach, add 1 cup (250 mL) to liquid chlorine bleach dispenser.

IMPORTANT: Do not add detergent. Do not use more than recommended amount of bleach to avoid damaging product over time.

3.Close washer door.

4.Select Normal Heavy cycle, hot Temperature, and large Water Level.

5.Pull out the Cycle knob. Water will pour into washer for a moment and pause, door will lock, then cycle will continue.

NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle. If cycle must be interrupted, push in the Cycle knob.

Cleaning the liquid fabric softener dispenser

1.Remove dispenser by grasping top with both hands and squeezing, while pushing upward with thumbs.

2.Rinse dispenser under warm water, then replace it.

NOTE: To avoid damage to the washer or clothing, do not wash clothes with the liquid fabric softener dispenser removed.

Cleaning the bleach dispenser

Wipe the inside of the bleach dispenser with a clean, damp cloth.

To clean exterior:

1.Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills.

2.Use all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer’s finish, do not use abrasive products.

Cleaning the dryer interior

To clean dryer drum

1.Apply a liquid, nonflammable household cleaner to the stained area of the drum and rub with a soft cloth until stain is removed.

2.Wipe drum thoroughly with a damp cloth.

3.Tumble a load of clean cloths or towels to dry the drum.

NOTE: Garments that contain loose dyes, such as denim blue jeans or brightly colored cotton items, may discolor the dryer interior. These stains are not harmful to your dryer and will not stain future loads of clothes. Dry these items inside out to avoid drum staining.
