Proper care of your washer can extend its life. This section explains how to care for your washer
properly and safely.

YOUR

 

WASHER

Cleaning the exterior

Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any

spills such as detergent or bleach.
Occasionally wipe the outside of
your washer to keep it looking new.

Cleaning the interior

Clean your washer interior by mixing 1 cup (250 mL)
of chlorine bleach and 2 cups (500 mL) of detergent.
Pour this into your washer and run it through a com-
plete cycle using hot water. Repeat this process if
necessary.

NOTE:

 Remove any hard water deposits using

only cleaners labeled as washer safe.

Cleaning the liquid fabric softener dispenser

Flush dispenser periodically with warm water, as
shown. Remove the dispenser by grasping the top
of the dispenser with both hands and squeezing
and pushing upwards with thumbs. Clean the
dispenser by rinsing it under a water faucet.
Replace it after cleaning.

NOTE:

 Do not wash clothes with this dispenser

removed. Do not add detergent or bleach to this
dispenser; it is for liquid fabric softener use only.

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.

To winterize washer:

1.

Shut off both water faucets.

2.

Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.

3.

Put 1 quart (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the
basket.

4.

Run washer on a drain and spin setting (see
“Drain and spin”) for about 30 seconds to mix
the antifreeze and water.

5.

Unplug the power supply cord.

To use washer again:

1.

Flush water pipes and hoses.

2.

Reconnect water inlet hoses.

3.

Turn on both water faucets.

4.

Reconnect power supply cord.

5.

Run the washer through a complete cycle with
1 cup (250 mL) of detergent to clean out antifreeze.

Non-use or vacation care:
Operate your washer only when you are at home. If
you 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 electrical
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.
