CARING FOR YOUR WASHER

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 it looking like new one.
Do not put sharp or metal object in your
washer, they can damage the finish. Check all pockets for
pins, clips, money, bolts, nuts, etc.
Do not lay these objects on 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 storing or moving 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.
