 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 unit is delivered on a cold day (below freezing), or is stored
in an unheated room or area during the cold months, do not at-
tempt to operate the washer until it 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 products may harm the finish on the control panel
or damage the interior. DO NOT use products that contain alco-
hol on the control panel. Wipe the panel dry after cleaning.

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 on control panel
or cabinet.

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.

Leave the door and dispenser drawer open slightly when not in
use. This will help keep them dry and prevent musty smells.

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 con-

tacts 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

Hoses and other rubber parts deteriorate after extended use. Ho-
ses may develop cracks, blisters or material wear from the tem-
perature and constant high pressure they are subjected to.

All hoses should be checked on a monthly basis for any visible
signs of deterioration. Any hose showing the signs of deteriora-
tion listed above should be replaced immediately. All hoses
should be replaced every five years.

 Filter Screens

Check the filter screens in the fill hoses for debris or damage ev-
ery six months. Clean or replace them if necessary.

If the washer is filling with water slower than normal, check the
filter screens. Clean or replace them if necessary.

Order filter screens from the nearest authorized parts distributor.

 Extended Non-Use

IMPORTANT: To avoid possible property damage due
to flooding, turn off the water supply to the washer
whenever there will be an extended period of non-use.

Leave the loading door and dispenser drawer open during exten-
ded periods of non-use to allow the wash drum and drawer to dry
out and avoid a musty smell.

 Cleaning Foreign Object Trap

The washer’s pump has a trap that may collect foreign objects.
The trap may need to be cleaned if water is draining slower than
usual. To clean:
1.   Disconnect washer from electrical supply.
2.   Remove two screws at bottom of the front access panel.
3.   Rotate bottom of panel out and remove panel.

NOTE: The pump may have some water in it. Use a
rag or a container to catch water. If the wash drum
is full of water, use a wet/dry shop vacuum to catch
the water.

4.   With rag or vacuum ready, unscrew the cap on the left side of

the pump and remove trap.

5.   Clean the debris from the trap.
6.   Reinstall the trap and access panel.
7.   Reconnect washer to electrical supply.
