CARE AND CLEANING

REGULAR CLEANING (continued)

Storing the Washer

If the washer will not be used for an extended period of time and is in an area that could be exposed to freezing temperatures, perform the following steps to protect the washer from damage.

1Turn OFF the water supply.

2Disconnect hoses from water supply and drain water from hoses.

3Plug the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.

4Add 1 gallon of nontoxic recreational vehicle (RV) antifreeze to the empty wash drum and close the door.

5Press the POWER button, then press the SPIN SPEED button without selecting a cycle. Press the START/PAUSE button to activate the drain pump. This will expel some of the antifreeze, leaving enough to protect the washer from damage.

6Unplug the power cord, dry the drum interior with a soft cloth, and close the door.

7Refer to the instructions below to clean and dry the dispenser drawer.

8Store the washer in an upright position.

9To remove the antifreeze from the washer after storage, run the EXPRESS WASH cycle. Do not add laundry to this cycle.

Cleaning the Dispenser

The dispenser should be cleaned periodically to remove buildup of detergent and other laundry products that can cause the dispenser not to dispense the laundry product properly.

1Pull the dispenser drawer out until it stops.

2Press down the lock tab located between the bleach and softener compartments and slide the drawer out.

3Remove the liquid detergent box, softener and bleach inserts from their compartments.

4Clean the dispenser compartments and inserts with warm soapy water.
