Caring for Your Washer

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

Cleaning your washer

Exterior

Wipe up detergent, bleach, and other spills with a soft, damp cloth or sponge as they occur. Occa- sionally 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 (250 mL) of chlo- rine bleach mixed with 2 cups (500 mL) 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.

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 (1L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the basket.

4.Run washer on a drain and spin setting (see pages 8 and 11) for about 30 seconds to mix the antifreeze and water.

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 (250 mL) 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.
