Care and Cleaning of the Washer
Wash Basket:
Leave the lid open after washing to
allow moisture to evaporate. If you want to clean
the basket use a clean soft cloth dampened with
liquid detergent, then rinse. (Do not use harsh or
gritty cleaners.)
Fill Hoses:
Hoses connecting washer to faucet
should be replaced every 5 years.
Lint Filter:
The lint filter is located under the
agitator. It is self-cleaning and requires no
maintenance.
Exterior:
Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe
with damp cloth. Try not to hit surface with
sharp objects.
Moving and Storage:
Ask the service technician to
remove water from drain pump and hoses. See the
Installation Instructions packed with product for
information on how to reinstall the shipping rod to
keep the tub stationary when moving the washer.

Long Vacations:
Be sure water supply is shut off at
faucets. Drain all water from hoses if weather will
be below freezing.
