Cleaning The Exterior
As you use the washer, occasionally wipe the cabinet
with a damp cloth or sponge; wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use polish or any kind on the plastic trim. Some
polishes contain agents which may damage plastics.
Cleaning The Interior
If you live an area where phosphate detergents are
banned, it may be necessary to recondition the washer
periodically. Because a non-phosphate detergent must be
used, body oils and detergent may accumulate in the
washer tub. This is particularly evident in hard water
areas or in homes, where heavily soiled garments are
regularly laundered.
To remove this build-up, run the washer through a
complete cycle using hot water and 2 cups of a non
precipitating water conditioner. Do not add any clothes,
laundry detergent or other laundry aids.
Once all accumulation has been removed, your laundry
should be satisfactory if you follow the preventive
suggestions in this guide-book.
• Turn off the hot and cold water source to machine.
• Set machine to fill in regular cycle on warm wash.
• Turn machine on for a few minutes so machine can
take on any water.
• Lift inlet hoses to assure no water is left in inlet hoses.
• Turn unit off.
• Advance the wash timer to spin cycle and turn on.
This will activate the water pump and will evacuate as
much water as possible.

General Maintenance
After washing is complete, the water faucets should be
turned off to relieve water pressure on the hoses.
Wipe the inside of the washer door with a soft cloth to
remove any remaining moisture. Periodically, a thin coat
of paste wax should be applied to the inner door of the
washer; especially to the area which is immediately next
to the door window.

and any discoloration which may results from these
spills.
The interior of the machine should be cleaned periodi-
cally by qualified service personnel.
