WARNING:
• Unplug the washer before cleaning to avoid the risk of electric shock. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious
injury, fire, electrical shock, or death.
• Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents to clean the washer. They will damage the finish.
REGULAR
CLEANING
Cleaning
the Exterior
Proper care of your washer can extend its life. The outside
of the machine can be cleaned with warm water and a
mild, non-abrasive household detergent.
Immediately wipe off any spills with a soft, damp cloth.
IMPORTANT: Do not use methylated spirits, solvents,
or similar products.
Never use steel wool or abrasive cleaners because they
can damage the surface.
Care and Cleaning
of the Interior
Use a towel or soft cloth to wipe around the washer door
opening, door seal, and door glass. These areas should be
kept clean to ensure a watertight seal. Be sure to wipe under
the inside rubber seal to remove any moisture or soil.
Always remove items from the washer as soon as the
cycle is completed. Leaving damp items in the washer
can cause wrinkling, color transfer, and odor.
Run the CLEAN WASHER cycle once a month, or more
often if needed, to remove detergent buildup and other
residue.
Door Seal Cleaning
Due to the location and nature of the door seal, some
detergent and soil residue may build up on the door seal.
Periodic cleaning with a bleach solution can help remove
buildup and stains and can help sanitize the seal to
prevent odors.
NOTE: Wear rubber gloves and eye protection while
performing the following procedure:
O
Dilute 3/4 cup (177 ml) liquid chlorine bleach with
1 gallon (3.8 L) of warm/hot water.
O
Use this solution to wipe
down all surfaces of the
gasket to remove any
deposits left there.
(The gasket is stiff. Be sure
to fold back the lip of the
gasket to get under the edge
where residue can build up.)
O
Wipe the gasket with a dry cloth.
O
Leave the door open to allow the gasket to dry
completely.
NOTES:
• Follow the manufacturer's
instructions for proper use
of bleach.
• Do not use undiluted bleach as this will damage the
gasket.
Storing
the Washer
If the washer will not be used for an extended period of
time and is in an area that could be exposed to freezing
temperatures:
O
Turn off water supply tap.
O
Disconnect hoses from water supply and drain water
from hoses.
O
Plug the power cord into a properly grounded
electrical outlet.
Add 1 gallon of nontoxic recreational vehicle (RV)
antifreeze to the empty wash drum. Close door.
Select the spin cycle and let washer spin for 1 minute
to drain out all the water.
NOTE: Not all of the RV antifreeze will be expelled.
Unplug the power cord, dry the drum interior with
a soft cloth, and close the door.
Remove the inserts from the dispenser. Drain any
water in compartments
and dry the compartments.
_t
Store the washer in an upright position.
_t
To remove the antifreeze from the washer after
storage, run washer through a complete cycle using
detergent. Do not add laundry!
Removing
Lime Buildup
If you live in an area with hard water, lime scale can form
on internal components of the washer. Use of a water
softener is recommended
in areas with hard water.
Use a descaler, such as Washer Magic ®, and run the
CLEAN WASHER cycle before washing clothing.
Do NOT use steel wool or abrasive cleaners; they can
damage the surface.
