CARING FOR YOUR WASHER
Proper care of your washer can extend its life. This section explains how to care for
your washer properly and safely.
Cleaning your washer
Winter storage or moving care
Install and store your washer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the hoses,
freezing can damage your washer.
If storing or moving your washer during freezing weather, winterize it.
Non-use or vacation care
Operate your washer only when you are at home.
If will be on vacation or not using your washer for an extended period of time, you should:
• Unplug the power supply cord or turn off eletrical power to the washer.
• Turn off the water supply to the washer .
This helps avoid accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.
Wipe up detergent, bleach, and other spills with
a soft, damp cloth or sponge as they occur.
Occasionally wipe the outside of the washer to
keep its looking like new one.
Clean interior with 250ml of chlorine bleach
mixed with 500ml of detergent.
Run washer through a complete cycle.
Repeat this process if necessary.
