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. Do not use
any solvents, as these can
damage the machine.
Interior - Clean interior with
250ml (1 cup) of chlorine
bleach mixed with 500ml (2 cups) of
detergent. Run washer through a complete
cycle.
Repeat this process if necessary.
Winter storage or moving care
IInstall and store your washer where it will not
freeze. Because some water may stay in the
hoses, freezing can damage your washer.
If you store or move your washer during
freezing weather, winterize it.
To winterize washer
1. Turn off water faucet.
2. Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.
3. Run washer on a drain and spin setting for
1 minute.
4. Unplug the power supply cord.
5. Open the drain pump cover and remove
the coin trap insert. Use a shallow bowl or
old towels to catch the water that drains
from the unit. Replace the coin trap and
close the drain pump cover.
Non-use or vacation care
Operate your washer only when you are at
home.
If you are on vacation or dont use your
washer for an extended period of time, you
should:
• Unplug the power supply cord or turn off
power to the washer.
• Turn off the water supplier to the washer.
This helps avoid accidental flooding (due to
a water pressure surge) while you are away.
Cleaning the water inlet filter
If your water is very hard or contains traces of
lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become
clogged.
1. Pull the power plug
out before cleaning it.
2. Turn off the water
supply to the washer
and separate the inlet
hose.
3. Pull the inlet filter
out. Remove the
dirt from the inlet
filter with a brush.
4. Put the inlet filter
back.
Tighten the inlet
hose.
