LEANING 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
complete cycle using hot water. Repeat this process
if necessary.
NOTE: Remove any hard water deposits using
only cleaners labeled as washer safe.
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 Rinse Only for about 30 seconds
to mix the antifreeze and water.
5.
Unplug washer or disconnect power.
To use washer again:
1.
Flush water pipes and hoses.
2.
Reconnect water inlet hoses.
3.
Turn on both water faucets.
4.
Plug in washer or reconnect power.
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.

NLET HOSES
Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce
the risk of hose failure. 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.
