Care & Cleaning
1.After washing, leave the lid open until the interior is dry.
2.Check hoses to be sure there are no kinks or knots.
3.Your washer should not be installed where temperatures will go below freezing, as damage to the washer could result.
4.To clean, occasionally wipe exterior with a clean damp sponge or cloth. Do not use polish on plastic parts.
5.Lifetime lubrication is done at the factory, so your washer never needs to be oiled or greased.
6.Do not lay heavy or sharp objects on top of your washer.
Cleaning the Interior
Clean the interior of the washer periodically to remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew or bacteria residue that may remain in the washer as a result of washing clothes. We recommend taking the following steps every 60 to 120 days to clean and freshen your washer interior. The frequency with which the washer should be cleaned and freshened depends on factors such as usage, the amount of dirt, soil or bacteria being run through your washer, or the use of cold water. Failure to follow these instructions may result in unsatisfactory conditions, including unpleasant odor and/or permanent stains on the washer or washload.
7.The top of the washer should not be used for removing stains from garments. Some stain removers, such as rust remover, will mar the finish.
8.Remove pins, buckles or other sharp objects from clothes to prevent scratching interior parts.
9.Clothes should not be stored in washer.
10.Bleach, detergent, solvents, etc. spilled on the top of your washer that are allowed to remain will remove the glossy finish. Remove all spills with a damp, soft cloth.
11.If you close your home for the winter, have a service technician drain the washer. Unplug cord from electrical outlet and disconnect hoses from faucets.
To clean and freshen the washer interior:
1.Add a measured amount of chlorine bleach to the bleach dispenser, following package directions.
2.Add 1/4 cup of detergent to the tub.
3.Run the washer through a complete cycle using hot water.
4.Repeat the process if necessary.
