maintaining your washer
cleAninG the exterior
Turn off the water faucets after finishing the day’s washing.
This will shut off the water supply to your washer and prevent the unlikely possibility of damage from
escaping water. Leave the lid open to allow the inside of your washer to dry out.
Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach, or other spills as they occur.
Clean the following as recommended:
Control Panel – Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads. Do not spray
cleaners directly on the panel.
cleAninG the interior
Clean the interior of your washer periodically to remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew, or bacterial
residue that may remain in your washer as a result of washing clothes.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in unpleasant conditions, including odors and/or permanent
stains on your washer or laundry.
Hard water deposits may be removed, if needed. Use cleaners labeled “Washer safe”.
storinG your WAsher
Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from hoses and internal components before storage.
Prepare your washer for storage as follows:
• Select the Quick Wash cycle and add bleach to the automatic dispenser. Run your washer through the
cycle without a load.
• Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet hoses.
•
Unplug your washer from the electrical outlet and leave your washer lid open to let air circulate inside the
drum.
• If your washer has been stored in below–freezing temperatures, allow time for any leftover water in your
washer to thaw out before use.
preservinG the top cover And the front frAme
Do not place any heavy or sharp objects or a detergent box on the washing machine. They can scratch or
damage the top cover of the unit.
Since the entire washing machine has a high-gloss finish, the surface can be scratched or damaged.
Avoid scratching or damaging the surface when using the washing machine.
cleAninG mesh filter
Clean the mesh filter of the water hose once or twice a year.
1 . Turn off the washer, and then unplug the power cord.
2 . Close the faucet.
3 . Loosen and disconnect the water hose from the back of the washer.
Cover the hose with a cloth to prevent water from gushing out.
4 . Use pliers to pull out the mesh filter from the inlet valve.
5 . Submerge the mesh filter deeply in water so that the threaded
connector is also submerged.
6 . Dry the mesh filter completely in a shaded area.
7. Reinsert the mesh filter into the inlet valve, and reconnect the water
hose to the inlet valve.
8. Open the faucet.
If the mesh filter is clogged, the “Tap Cold LED” flashes on the washer’s
display screen.
