Cleaning The Washer/Dryer; Winterizing The Washer/Dryer - Monaco 2002 Diplomat Service Manual

NOTE: Check for water leaks before using the washer after
removing and replacing the drain screen.
Occasionally wipe the exterior cabinet of the washer/dryer with a damp
cloth or sponge. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. Do not use polish on plastic trim.
Clean the interior with one cup of chlorine bleach mixed with two cups of
liguid detergent. Run the washer through a complete cycle using the hot water.
Repeat the process if necessary. Remove hard water deposits using only clean-
ers labeled as washer safe. Wipe the inside of the washer/dryer door with a soft
cloth to remove any moisture. Periodically apply a thin coat of paste wax to
the inner door, especially to the area which is immediately next to the door
window. This will protect the door finish from laundry spills and discoloration.
NOTE: Should the washer/dryer need removal for service,
care should be taken as the washer/dryer weighs approximately
185 lbs. Proper accommodations should be made to avoid
risk of injury.
To winterize your washer/dryer follow the instructions below to avoid
damage to your unit due to freezing:
1. Run the washer/dryer in a spin cycle to remove the majority of the water
from the washer/dryer.
2. Close the hot and cold water supply valves on the inlet hoses. Remove
the hoses from the valves and allow them to drain. Leave hoses discon-
nected during storage.
3. Unplug the power cord and remove the drain screen to allow the water
remaining in the pump and drain hose to be evacuated. Reinstall the drain
screen.
4. Wipe the inside of the washer with a dry cloth.
To place Washer/Dryer back into service:
1. Plug power cord into receptacle.
2. Make sure the drain screen is securely in place.
3. Connect the two inlet water supply hoses to the water supply valves. Red
line for hot water and blue line for cold water.
4. Open water supply valves and operate washer/dryer for one complete
cycle and check for water leaks.
