Care and Cleaning of the Washer

Wash Basket: 

Leave the lid open after washing to

allow moisture to evaporate. If you want to clean the
basket use a clean soft cloth dampened with liquid
detergent, then rinse. (Do not use harsh or gritty
cleaners.)

Fill Hoses: 

Hoses connecting washer to faucet 

should be replaced every 5 years.

Exterior: 

Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with

damp cloth. Try not to hit surface with sharp objects.

Moving and Storage: 

Ask the service technician to

remove water from drain pump and hoses.  See the
Installation Instructions packed with product for
information on how to reinstall the shipping rod to
keep the tub stationary when moving the washer.

(800.432.2737). Do not store

the washer where it will be exposed to the weather.

Long Vacations: 

Be sure water supply is shut off at

faucets. Drain all water from hoses if weather will 
be below freezing.
