MAINTENANCE

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.
Occasionally wipe the outside of the washer to
keep its looking like new one.
Do not put sharp or metal object in your washer, or they
can damage the finish. Check all pockets for pins, clips,
money, bolts, nuts, etc.
Do not lay these objects in your washer after emptying
pockets.
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 you store or move your washer during freezing weather, winterize it.
To winterize washer
• Turn off water faucet.
• Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.
• Run washer on a drain and spin setting (see
page 10) for 1 minute.
• Unplug the power supply cord.
Non-use or vacation care
Operate your washer only when you are at home.
If you are on vacation or don't use your washer for an extended period of time, you should:
• Unplug the power supply cord or turn off eletrical power to the washer.
• Turn off the water supplier to the washer.
This helps avoid accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.
Interior
Clean interior with 250ml of chlorine bleach
mixed with 500ml of detergent.
Run washer through a complete cycle.
Repeat this process if necessary.
To use washer again
• Flush water pipes and hoses.
• Reconnect water inlet hoses.
• Turn on water faucet.
• Reconnect power supply cord.
