WASHER CARE
CLEANING YOUR WASHER
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up
any spills such as detergent or bleach from the
outside of your washer.
Clean your washer interior by mixing 1 cup (250
mL) of chlorine bleach and 2 cups (500 mL) of
detergent. Pour this mixture into your washer
and run it through a complete cycle using hot
water. Select the Super Load Size. Repeat this
process if necessary.
Remove any hard water deposits using only
cleaners labeled as washer safe.
Cleaning the liquid fabric softener dis-
penser:
1. To remove the fabric softener dispenser
from the agitator, wrap both hands behind
the top of the fabric softener dispenser
and interlock fingers. Lift up while pulling
toward you.
2. Separate the top and base of the dispenser.
Rinse all three dispenser parts (the base,
the inner cone-shaped cup and the top)
under warm water.
3. For ease of assembly, reassemble the
dispenser with the parts upside down.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the inner cone-
shaped cup is straight and placed com
-
pletely in the top of the dispenser before
installing the base.
4. Reinstall the dispenser. Be sure it is com-
pletely seated. The rim must be tight to the
top of the agitator.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the washer or cloth
-
ing, do not wash clothes with the liquid fabric
softener dispenser removed or add detergent
or bleach to this dispenser; it is for liquid fabric
softener only.
WATER INLET HOSES
Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to
reduce the risk of hose failure. Periodically in
-
spect 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.
VACATION, STORAGE, AND
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.
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 washer or disconnect power.
Turn off the water supply to the washer. This
helps avoid accidental flooding (due to a water
pressure surge) while you are away.
To winterize washer:
1. Shut off both water faucets.
2. Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.
3. Put 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the
basket.
4. Run washer on the Rinse & Spin setting
for about 30 seconds to mix the antifreeze
and remaining water.
5. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
