Maintenance . . .
Cold Weather Care
If the washer is delivered on a cold day (below freezing), or is stored in an unheated room or area during the cold months, do not attempt to operate it until the washer has had a chance to warm up.
Care Of Your Washer
Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the control panel. Some spray prewash products may harm the finish on the control panel.
Wipe the washer cabinet as needed. If detergent, bleach or other washing products are spilled on the cabinet, wipe immediately. Some products will cause permanent damage if spilled on the cabinet.
Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.
Do not lay sharp or rough objects on or against the washer. The finish could be damaged.
The washtub will need no particular care though it may need rinsing or wiping after an unusual load has been washed. This also may be necessary if too little detergent has been used.
Leave the loading door open to allow the inside of the washer to dry out after use. This helps prevent musty odors from developing.
Vacations and Extended Non-Use
IMPORTANT: To avoid possible property damage due to flooding, turn off the water supply to the washer whenever there will be an extended period of
Reinstallation of Shipping Materials
Shipping Brace
The corrugated shipping brace should be saved and reinstalled whenever the washer is moved. To reinstall the brace, open the washer lid and place the brace over the washer agitator, placing the back of the brace into the washtub first.
Shipping Plug
The plastic shipping plug should be saved and reinstalled any time the washer is moved. The plug fits into two openings: The base opening and the shipping plug opening on the bottom of the mobile pivot dome. The plug MUST be inserted into both openings to prevent damage to the washer. In order to accomplish this, the shipping plug opening must be directly lined up with the base opening. See illustration below.

This internal overload protector will stop the motor automatically in the event of an overload. The overload protector will reset itself in two or three minutes and
