cleaning the Inside of your Washer
IIf 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.
Products that might damage your washing machine
Concentrated bleaches and diaper sanitizer will cause damage to the paintwork and components of
your washer.
Hydrocarbon solvents i.e. petrol, paint thinners and lacquer thinners, etc. can dissolve plastic and
blister paint
(Be careful when washing garments stained with these solvents as they are flammable DO NOT put
them in washer or dryer.)
Some pretreatment sprays or liquids can damage your washer's control panel.
Use of dyes in your washer may cause staining of the plastic components. The dye will not damage
the machine but we suggest you thoroughly clean your washer afterwards. We do not recommend
the use of dye strippers in your washer.
Do not use your washer lid as a work surface.
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.
