CARE AND CLEANING

• Keep the area around and underneath your appliance
free of combustible materials such as lint, paper,
rags and chemicals.
• Keep the floor around your appliance clean and dry
to reduce the possibility of slipping.
Always shut off the gas valve before leaving on
vacation.
4. Let the washer spin for 1 or 2 minutes to let all the
water drain out. Some but not all of the RV
antifreeze will be expelled.
5. Push in the timer knob, disconnect the electrical
plug, dry the tub interior and close the lid.
6. Store the appliance in an upright position.
7. Before reusing the washer, after storage, run the
washer through a cycle to rinse out the antifreeze.
• Lint Filter. Clean the filter at the bottom of the
agitator after every load for the best filtering results.
