ALL-IN-ONE WASHER DRYER
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Water Inlet Hoses
Replace inlet hoses after five years of use to reduce the risk of
hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges,
kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses:
Mark the date of replacement on the label with a permanent
marker.
Check that the old rubber seals on water inlet hoses are not stuck
on the machine inlet valves.
Use new washers in the new inlet hoses to ensure a proper seal.
All-In-One Washer Dryer Care
Recommendations to Help Keep Your Machine Clean and
Performing at Its Best
5.
Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the
HE detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding the
amount of HE detergent to use. Do not use more than the
recommended amount because that may increase the rate
at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside your
machine which, in turn, may result in undesirable odor.
6.
Use warm or hot water washes sometimes (not exclusively
cold water washes) because they do a better job of
controlling the rate at which soils and detergent accumulate.
7.
Always leave the machine door slightly ajar between uses
to help dry out the machine and avoid the buildup of odor
causing residue.
8.
Periodically clean residue from all interior surfaces of the
window. For better care, wipe the entire inside of the door
with a damp cloth.
Cleaning Your All-In-One Washer Dryer
Read these instructions completely before beginning the
routine cleaning processes recommended below. This machine
maintenance procedure should be performed, at a minimum, once
per month or every 30 cycles, whichever occurs sooner, to control
the rate at which soils and detergent may otherwise accumulate in
your machine. Note that since this is an all-in-one Washer Dryer
without a lint screen, you may see some more lint accumulation
on the door seal than a typical washer.
Cleaning the Door Seal
1.
Open the machine door and remove any clothing or items
from the machine.
2.
Inspect the gray-colored seal between the door opening and
the drum for stained areas, soil buildup, or lint. Pull back
the seal to inspect all areas under the seal and to check for
foreign objects or lint.
3.
If stained areas, soil buildup, or lint are found, wipe down
these areas of the seal using either of the following two
procedures:
a.
Affresh
®
Machine Cleaning Wipes Procedure:
i.
When the cycle is complete, gently pull back the
rubber door seal and clean the entire surface with
the textured side of an affresh
®
Machine Cleaning
Wipe.
b.
Dilute Liquid Chlorine Bleach Procedure:
i.
Mix a dilute bleach solution, using 3/4 cup (177 mL)
of liquid chlorine bleach and 1 gallon (3.8 L) of warm
tap water.
ii.
Wipe the seal area with the dilute solution, using a
damp cloth.
iii.
Let stand for 5 minutes.
iv.
Wipe down area thoroughly with a dry cloth and let
machine interior air dry with door open.
IMPORTANT:
n
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning with bleach.
n
Refer to the bleach manufacturer’s instructions for proper
use.
