Maintenance...
Cold Weather
Care
If the washer is delivered on a
cold day (below freezing), or is
stored in an unheated room or
area during the cold months, do
not attempt to operate it until the
washer has had a chance to
warm up.
Care Of Your Washer
IMPORTANT:
Before using the
washer for the first time, wipe out
the inside of the washtub with a
sudsy cloth.
Use only a damp or sudsy cloth
for cleaning the control panel.
Some spray prewash products
may harm the finish on the control
panel.
Wipe the washer cabinet as
needed. If detergent, bleach or
other washing products are
spilled on the cabinet, wipe
immediately. Some products will
cause permanent damage if
spilled on the cabinet.
Do not use scouring pads or
abrasive cleansers.
Do not lay sharp or rough objects
on or against the washer. The
finish could be damaged.
The washtub will need no
particular care though it may need
rinsing or wiping after an unusual
load has been washed. This also
may be necessary if too little
detergent has been used.
Leave the loading door open to
allow the inside of the washer to
dry out after use. This helps
prevent musty odors from devel-
oping.
Vacations and
Extended Non-Use
IMPORTANT: To avoid possible
property damage due to flooding,
turn off the water supply to the
washer whenever there will be an
extended period of non-use.
Operating
Tips...
Out-Of-Balance
Switch
The out-of-balance
switch is
located behind the right rear
hinge of the washer loading door.
A load of one or two items can
make the washtub unbalanced
during the spin periods. For the
best spinning results, the load
must be balanced throughout the
spin pedod.
The out-of-balance switch is
tripped if the load becomes
excessively unbalanced during
the spin. Spinning stops when this
happens.
If the out-of-balance switch is
tripped, you will need to
rearrange the load. To do this,
push the timer knob in, open the
loading door and evenly distribute
the items in the washtub. Close
the loading door, pull the timer
knob out, and the spin will
resume.
Motor
Overload
Protector.,,
This internal overload protector
will stop the motor automatically
in the event of an overload. The
overload protector will reset itself
in two or three minutes and the
motor will reset automatically. If
the overload protector stops the
motor again, remove the washer
from use and cell the serviceman
to correct the problem.
