WASHER MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR WASHER
Keep your washer as clean and fresh as your clothes.
To keep washer interior odor-free, follow this recommended
monthly cleaning procedure:
1.
Make sure the washer is empty.
2.
Using recommended AFFRESH
®
washer cleaner,
add one tablet to washer basket
OR
If using liquid chlorine bleach, add 1 cup (250 mL) to
liquid chlorine bleach dispenser.
IMPORTANT:
Do not add detergent to CLEAN WASHER
with AFFRESH
™
cycle. Do not use more than recommended
amount of bleach to avoid damaging product over time.
3.
Close washer lid.
4.
Select CLEAN WASHER with AFFRESH
™
cycle.
5.
Press START/Pause/Unlock. Water will pour into washer
for a moment and pause, lid will lock, unlock, then cycle
will continue.
NOTE:
For best results, do not interrupt cycle. If cycle must
be interrupted, Press and Hold START/Pause/Unlock for
three seconds and run a RINSE AND SPIN cycle to ensure
cleaner or bleach have been rinsed from washer.
Cleaning the bleach dispenser
Wipe the inside of the bleach dispenser with a clean, damp
cloth.
To clean exterior:
1.
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills.
2.
Use all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid damaging the washer’s finish, do not
use abrasive products.
Replace inlet hoses after 5 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.
WATER INLET HOSES
Operate your washer only when you are home. If moving,
or not using your washer for a period of time, follow these
steps:
1.
Unplug or disconnect power to washer.
2.
Turn off water supply to washer, to avoid flooding due
to water pressure surge.
WINTER STORAGE CARE
IMPORTANT:
To avoid damage, install and store washer
where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in
hoses, freezing can damage washer. If storing or moving
during freezing weather, winterize your washer.
To winterize washer:
1.
Shut off both water faucets; disconnect and drain water
inlet hoses.
2.
Put 1 qt. (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in basket and run
washer on RINSE AND SPIN cycle for about 30 seconds
to mix antifreeze and remaining water.
3.
Unplug washer or disconnect power.
