User-Maintenance Instructions
Lubrication
All moving parts are sealed in a permanent supply of
lubricant or are equipped with oilless bearings.
Additional lubrication will not be necessary.
Do not lubricate the door hinge. If the hinge makes
noise, replace the hinge.
Cold Weather Care
If the washer is stored in an unheated room or area
during the cold months, do not attempt to operate it
until the washer has had a chance to warm up. Water
from the previous cycle may remain.
Care of Your Washer
Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the
control panel. Some cleaning product sprays may
harm the finish on the control panel or damage the
interior.
Wipe the washer cabinet as needed. If detergent,
bleach or other washing products are spilled on the
cabinet, wipe immediately. Some products will cause
permanent damage if spilled on the cabinet.
Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.
The wash drum will need no particular care although it
may need rinsing or wiping after an unusual load has
been washed.
The outside of the door window can be cleaned with
household window cleaner.
Running an occasional rinse cycle with bleach will
help to avoid a musty smell in the wash drum.
Cleaning Glass Sealing Area
In order to assure that the door properly seals against
water leaks, the following surfaces should be wiped
off periodically:
The outside perimeter of the door glass where the
seal contacts the glass
The front surface of the door seal lip
Usually a mild soap solution will work. If there is an
extreme build-up of minerals from a hard water
supply, the surfaces may need to be cleaned with a
lime removal chemical.

Replacing Hoses
All hoses should be checked on a monthly basis for
any visible signs of deterioration. Any hose showing
signs of deterioration should be replaced immediately.
All hoses should be replaced every five years.
Vacations and Non-Use
IMPORTANT: Turn off the water supply to the
washer whenever there will be a period of non-use.
Leave the loading door open during periods of non-use
to allow the wash drum to dry out and avoid a musty
smell.
