Cleaning the Inside of your Washer
If you use fabric softener or do regular COLD water washing, it is very important that you occasionally clean
the inside of your washer.
• Fill your washer with HOT water.
• Add about two cups of a powdered Detergent that contains phosphate.
• Let it operate for several minutes.
• Stop the washer, open the lid and leave it to soak overnight.
• After soaking, drain the washer and run it through a normal cycle.
We do not recommend that you wash clothes during this procedure.
Leave the lid open after washing to allow moisture to evaporate. If you want to clean the
inner-tub use a clean soft cloth dampened with liquid Detergent, then rinse.
(Do not use harsh or gritty cleaners.)
Hoses connecting washer to faucet should be replaced every 5 years.
Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth. Try not to hit surface with sharp
objects.
Be sure water supply is shut off at faucets. Drain all water from hoses if weather will be
below freezing.
