Cold Weather
Care
Ifthe
washer is delivered on a cold day (below
freezing),
or is stored
in an unheated
room or
area during the cold months, do not attempt
to operate
it until the washer has had a
chance to warm up.
Care of Your Washer
Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning
the control
panel. Some spray pretreat
products
may harm the finish on the control
panel.
Wipe the washer cabinet
as needed. If
detergent,
bleach or other washing products
are spilled on the cabinet,
wipe immediately.
Some products
will cause permanent
damage
if spilled on the cabinet.
Do not use scouring
pads or abrasive
cleansers.
The washtub
will need no particular
care
though
it may need rinsing or wiping after an
unusual load has been washed. This also may
be necessary
if too little
detergent
has been
used.
Leave the lid open to allow the inside of the
washer to dry out after
use. This helps
prevent musty
odors from developing.
Check the filter
screens
in the fill hoses for
debris or damage at least once a year. Clean
or replace them if necessary.
Replacing
Hoses
Hoses and other
natural
parts
deteriorate
after
extended
use. Hoses may develop
cracks, blisters
or material
wear from the
temperature
and constant
high pressure
they are subjected
to.
All hoses should be checked on a yearly basis
for any visible signs of deterioration.
Any
hose showing the signs of deterioration
listed above should be replaced
immediately.
All hoses should be replaced every five years.
Vacations
and Extended
Non-Use
To avoid possible property
damage
due to
flooding, turn off the water supply to the
washer whenever there will be an extended
period of non-use.
