Maintenance
Lubrication
All moving parts are sealed in a permanent
supply of lubricant or are equipped with
oilless bearings. Additional lubrication will
not be necessary.
Cold Weather Care
If the washer is delivered on a cold day (below
freezing), or is stored in an unheated room or
area during the cold months, do not attempt
to operate it until the washer has had a
chance to warm up.
Care of Your Washer
Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning
the control panel. Some spray pretreat
products may harm the finish on the control
panel or damage the interior of the hood.
Wipe the washer cabinet as needed. If
detergent, bleach or other washing products
are spilled on the cabinet, wipe immediately.
Some products will cause permanent
damage if spilled on the cabinet.
Do not use scouring pads or abrasive
cleansers.
The wash drum and window will need no
particular care although they may need
rinsing or wiping after an unusual load has
been washed. The outside of the window can
be cleaned with household window cleaner.
Replacing Hoses
Hoses and other natural parts deteriorate
after extended use. Hoses may develop
cracks, blisters or material wear from the
temperature and constant high pressure
they are subjected to.
All hoses should be checked on a yearly basis
for any visible signs of deterioration. Any
hose showing the signs of deterioration
listed above should be replaced immediately.
All hoses should be replaced every five years.
Vacations and Extended
Non-Use
To avoid possible property damage due to
flooding, turn off the water supply to the
washer whenever there will be an extended
period of non-use.
