Washer-Dryer Maintenance; To Begin A Wash Load - Monaco DIPLOMAT 2004 Owner's Manual

To begin a wash load:

• Sort and pre-treat clothes.
• Add the measured amount of detergent suggested by the package
directions (maximum two tablespoons).
• Load the clothes loosely into the washer. Close the washer door.
• Turn the Wash Temperature knob to the desired temperature
setting.
• Choose the desired washing cycle option using the Selector
knob.
• Load wash tray with detergent.
• Turn the power ON.
• After the cycle is complete, wait two minutes for the door lock
to release before attempting to open the door.
Occasionally wipe the exterior cabinet of the washer-dryer with a damp
cloth or sponge. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. Do not use polish on plastic trim.
In areas of hard water, detergent can accumulate in the drum. Obtain a
packaged water softener. Add quantity as specified by the manufacturer directly
to the drum. Run the washer through a complete cycle using hot water. Repeat
the process if necessary. Remove hard water deposits using only cleaners
labeled as washer safe. Wipe the inside of the washer-dryer door with a soft
cloth to remove any moisture. Periodically apply a thin coat of paste wax to
the inner door, especially to the area that is immediately next to the door
window. This will protect the door finish from laundry spills and
discoloration.
If water flow to the washer-dryer is reduced, the Hot and Cold water inlet
screens may be clogged. Remove water pressure and undo water lines at the
back of the washer-dryer. Use tweezers or pliers to remove screens from
fittings. Clean and install screens and water lines. Hook to city water or turn
on the water pump. Check for water leaks before using the washer-dryer.
NOTE: Should the washer-dryer
need removal for service, care should
be taken as the washer-dryer weighs
approximately 170 lbs. Proper
accommodations should be made
to avoid risk of injury or damage
to the cabinetry.
