Maintenance . . .
Cold Weather Care
If the washer is delivered on a cold day (below
freezing), or is stored in an unheated room or area
during the cold months, do not attempt to operate it
until the washer has had a chance to warm up.
Care Of Your Washer
Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the control
panel. Some spray prewash products may harm the
finish on the control panel.
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.
Do not lay sharp or rough objects on or against the
washer. The finish could be damaged.
The washtub will need no particular care though it may
need rinsing or wiping after an unusual load has been
washed. This also may be necessary if too little
detergent has been used.
Leave the loading door open to allow the inside of the
washer to dry out after use. This helps prevent musty
odors from developing.
Vacations and 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.
Reinstallation of Shipping
Materials
Shipping Brace
The corrugated shipping brace should be saved and
reinstalled whenever the washer is moved. To reinstall
the brace, open the washer lid and place the brace over
the washer agitator, placing the back of the brace into
the washtub first.
Shipping Plug
The plastic shipping plug should be saved and
reinstalled any time the washer is moved. The plug fits
into two openings: The base opening and the shipping
plug opening on the bottom of the mobile pivot dome.
The plug MUST be inserted into both openings to
prevent damage to the washer. In order to accomplish
this, the shipping plug opening must be directly lined
up with the base opening. See illustration below.
Motor Overload Protector . . .
This internal overload protector will stop the motor
automatically in the event of an overload. The overload
protector will reset itself in two or three minutes and
the motor will restart automatically. If the overload
protector stops the motor again, remove the washer
from use and call the serviceman to correct the
problem.
