WASHER CARE
Cleaning YourWasher
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills such as
detergent or bleach from the outside of your washer.
Clean your washer interior by mixing ] cup (250 mL) of chlorine
bleach and enough detergent to equal twice the manufacturer's
recommended amount for a normal wash load. Pour this mixture
into your washer and run it through a complete cycle using hot
water. Repeat this process if necessary.
Remove any hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled as
washer safe.
Water Inlet Hoses
This washer does not include water inlet hoses. Use of factory
specified parts is recommended. See "Accessories" for a list of
factory specified hoses available for separate purchase. These
hoses are manufactured and tested to meet the manufacturer's
specifications.
Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose
failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges, kinks,
cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement on
the label with a permanent marker.
MovingandStorage
Because some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage
your washer. If storing or moving your washer during freezing
weather, winterize it.
Winterizing your washer
1. Shut off: both water faucets. Disconnect and drain water inlet
hoses. Pour 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze into the basket.
2. Run washer on a drain and spin setting for about 30 seconds
to mix the antifreeze and remaining water.
3. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
To use washer again
1. Flush water pipes and hoses. Reconnect water inlet hoses. Turn
on both water faucets.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
2. Plug in washer or reconnect power.
3. Run the washer through a complete Normal cycle with
1 cup (250 mL) of detergent to clean out antifreeze.
Storage, non=use, or vacation care
Operate your washer only when you are at home. If you will be
on vacation or not using your washer for an extended period of
time, you should:
1. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
2. Turn off: the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid
flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.
