Maintenance
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.
• 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 washtub will need no particular care
though it may need rinsing or wiping after an
unusual load has been washed. This also may
be necessary if too little detergent has been
used.
• Leave the lid open to allow the inside of the
washer to dry out after use. This helps
prevent musty odors from developing.
• Check the filter screens in the fill hoses for
debris or damage at least once a year. Clean
or replace them if necessary.
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.
