Tips for caring
for your washer/dryer
• Wipe up detergent, bleach and other spills with
a soft, damp cloth or sponge as they occur.
• Remove hard water deposits using only
cleaners labeled as washer safe.
• After tinting or dyeing, put chlorine bleach
and detergent in the washer. Run through a
complete cycle using hot water to remove
excess dye or tint. If staining occurs on
following loads, repeat the process.
• Sharp or metal objects can damage your
washer/dryer.
Check pockets for pins, clips,
money, bolts, nuts, etc. Do not lay these
objects on your washer after emptying
pockets.
NOTE: Operate your washer/dryer onlywhen
you are at home.

Winter
storage
or moving
care
Install and store your washer/dryer where it will
not freeze. Because some water stays in the
washer, freezing can damage it. If your
washer/dryer
is stored or moved during
freezing weather, winterize it.
1. Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect
the
drain water inlet hoses.
2. Put 1 quart (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in
the washer basket.
3. Run washer on a drain and spin setting for
about 30 seconds (see page 10) to mix
antifreeze and water.
4. Unplug power supply cord.
To use the washer
again:
1. Flush water pipes and hoses.
2. Reconnect
water inlet hoses.
3. Turn on both water faucets.
4. Reconnect
power supply cord.
5. Run the washer through a complete cycle
with 1/2cup (125 mL) of detergent to clean
out antifreeze.
Non-use/vacation
care
1. Unplug power supply cord or turn off
electrical
power.
2. Clean lint screen and lint filter.
3. Turn off water supply leading to your
washer/dryer.
This will help avoid acciden-
tal flooding while you are away (for ex-
ample, due to a water pressure surge).
