or brush to remove any residue or buildup.
Wipe out the inside of the drawer opening
with a damp cloth. Reassemble the drawer
and reinstall in the drawer opening.

Removing Lime Buildup
If you live in an area with hard water, lime scale
can form on internal components of the washer.
Use of a water softener is recommended in areas
with hard water. If a descaler is used, make sure
that it is suitable for use in a washer, and run the
TUB CLEAN cycle before washing clothing.
Lime scale and other spots may be removed
from the stainless steel drum using a stainless
steel cleaner. Do NOT use steel wool or abrasive
cleansers; they can damage the surface.
Storing the washer
If the washer will not be used for an extended
period of time and is in an area that could be
exposed to freezing temperatures:
Turn off water supply tap.
Disconnect hoses from water supply and
drain water from hoses.
Plug the power cord into a properly grounded
electrical outlet.
Add 1 gallon of nontoxic recreational vehicle
(RV) antifreeze to the empty wash drum.
Close door.
Select the spin cycle and let washer spin
for 1 minute to drain out all the water.
NOTE:
Not all of the RV antifreeze will be
expelled.
Unplug the power cord, dry the drum interior
with a soft cloth, and close the door.
