Care and cleaning

WARNING
Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric shock only during servicing.
Service personnel – DO NOT contact the following parts while the appliance is energized: Drain Pump, Motor
Capacitor, Electronic Board, Lid Lock, Mode Shifter and Water Valve or the equivalent.
Exterior of the Washer
Immediately wipe off any spills with a damp cloth.
Interior of the Washer
Leave the lid open after washing to allow moisture to
evaporate. If you want to clean the basket, use a clean
soft cloth dampened with liquid detergent; then rinse.
(Do not use harsh or gritty cleaners.)
Water Supply Hoses
Periodically inspect all water inlet hoses for water leaks, wear, cuts, corrosion, and bulges. Replace all hoses immediately
if any sign of these failures appear. All hoses should be replaced every 5 years of use to reduce risk of hose failures
and possible water damage. When replacing hoses, refer to the Installation Instructions for proper installation. DO NOT
overtighten or cross thread fittings. DO NOT allow the hose to rub against sharp objects, become kinked, or become
over stretched. Always ensure hose rubber gaskets are installed and free from leaks when pressurized.
Moving and Storage
Ask the service technician to remove water from drain
pump and hoses. Do not store the washer where it will
be exposed to the weather.
Long Vacations
Be sure water supply is shut off at faucets. Drain all
water from hoses and water filter pump area if weather
will be below freezing.
