■ The water circulation nozzle
• Clean the water circulation nozzle, if clogged.
■ Cleaning your washer
1. Exterior
Proper care of your washer can extend its life. The outside of the machine can be cleaned with
warm water and a neutral, non-abrasive household detergent. Immediately wipe off any spills.
Wipe with a damp cloth. Try not to damage the surface with sharp objects.
IMPORTANT: Do not use methylated spirit, solvents or similar products.
2. Interior
Dry around the washer door opening, door seal and door glass. These areas should always
be clean to ensure a water-tight seal.
TUB CLEAN is a special cycle for cleaning the inside of the washer. This cycle uses higher
water level with higher spin speed. Perform this cycle regularly.
• To start the TUB CLEAN cycle:
1. Remove any clothing or items from the washer and close the door.
2. Open the dispenser drawer and add liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment.
NOTE: Do not add any detergent to the detergent compartments. Excessive suds may be
produced and leak from the washer.
3. Close the dispenser drawer slowly.
4. After pressing the 'Power' button, turn the 'Course selection' dial to select 'TUB CLEAN'.
5. Press the Start/Pause button to start.
6. After the cycle is complete, leave the door open to dry around the washer door opening,
door seal and door glass.
!
CAUTION: If there are small children in the house, care must be taken so that they can not
climb into or play inside the washer while it is open for drying.
NOTE: Remove hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled as safe for washing machines.
■ Winterizing instructions
If the washer is stored in an area where freezing can occur or moved in freezing temperatures,
follow these winterizing instructions to prevent damage to the washer:
1. Turn off water supply tap.
2. Disconnect hoses from water supply and drain water from hoses.
3. Plug electrical cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
4. Add 1 gallon (3.8ℓ) nontoxic recreational vehicle (RV) antifreeze to empty wash drum. Close
door.
5. Set spin cycle and let washer spin for 1 minute to drain out all the water.
Not all of the RV antifreeze will be expelled.
6. Unplug electrical power cord, dry drum interior, and close door.
7. Remove the two-compartment container from the Dispenser. Drain any water in
compartments and dry the compartments.
8. Store washer in an upright position.
