PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Proper care of your washer can extend its life. This section explains how to care for your
washer properly and safely.
Cleaning your washer
Exterior
Wipe up detergent, bleach, and other spills
with a soft, damp cloth or
sponge as they occur.
Occasionally wipe the
outside of the washer to
keep it looking like new.
Do not put sharp or metal object in your washer, they
can damage the finish. Check all pockets for pins,
clips, money, bolts, nuts, etc.
Do not lay these objects on your washer after emptying
pockets.
Winter storage or moving care
Install and store your washer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the
hoses, freezing can damage your washer.
If storing or moving your washer during freezing weather, winterize it.
To winterize washer
• Shut off water faucet.
• Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses
• Run washer on a drain and spin
setting(see page 13) for 1 minute.
• Unplug the power supply cord.
Non-use or vacation care
Operate your washer only when you are at home.
If will be on vacation or not using your washer for an extended period of time, you should:
• Unplug the power supply cord or turn off electrical power to the washer.
• Turn off the water supply to the washer.
This helps avoid accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.

bleach mixed with 500ml of detergent.
Run washer through a complete cycle.
Repeat process if necessary.
To use washer again
• Flush water pipes and hoses.
