CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning The Exterior
As you use the washer, occasionally wipe the cabinet
with a damp cloth or sponge; wipe dry with a soft clo
th.
Do not use polish or any kind on the plastic trim. Some
polishes contain agents which may damage plastics.
Cleaning The Int
erior
If you live an area where phosphate detergents are
banned, it may be necessary to recondition the washer
periodically. Bec
ause a non
-
phosphate detergent must be
used, body oils and detergent may accumulate in the
washer tub. This is particularly evid
ent in hard water
areas or in homes, where heavily soiled garments are
regularly laundered.
To remove this build
-
up,
run the washer through a
co
m
plete cycle using hot water and 2 cups of a non
pr
e
cipitating water conditioner. Do not add any clothes,
laundry detergent or other laundry aids.
Once all accumulation has been re
moved, your laundry
should be satisfactory if you follow the preventive
su
g
gestions in this guide
-
book.
General Maintenance
After washing is complete, the water faucets should be
turned off to relieve water pressure on the hoses.
Wi
pe the inside of the washer door with a soft cloth to
remove any remaining moisture. Periodically, a thin coat
of paste wax shou
ld be applied to the inner door of the
washer; especially to the area which is immediately next
to the door window.
This will p
rotect the door finish from laundry aid spills
and any discoloration which may results from these
spills.
The interior of the machine should be cleaned period
i-
cally by qualified service personnel.
A internal condenser cleaning kit is available to improve
drying time when needed (Part #
100A).
Cleaning The Drain Screen
Clean the drain screen frequently. For instruction please
refer to page 7 of this manual.
