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
Exterior
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 it
looking like new.
Do not put sharp or metal
objects in your washer.
They can damage the
finish. Check all pockets for
pins, clips, money, bolts,
nuts, etc. Do not lay these
objects on your washer after emptying
pockets.
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.
To winterize washer:
1.
Shut off both water faucets.
2.
Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.
3.
Put 1L (1 quart) of R.V.-type antifreeze in
the basket.
4.
Run washer on a drain and spin setting
(see page 7) for about 30 seconds to mix
the antifreeze and water.
5.
Unplug the power supply cord.
Non-use or vacation care
You should 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.
Interior
Clean interior with 250 mL (1 cup) of chlorine
bleach mixed with 500 mL (2 cups) of deter-
gent. Run washer through a complete cycle
using hot water. Repeat process if necessary.
NOTE:
Remove hard water deposits using
cleaners labeled as washer safe only.
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 250 mL (1 cup) of detergent to clean
out antifreeze.
•
Turn off the water supply to the washer.
This helps avoid accidental flooding (due
to a water pressure surge) while you are
away.
