Care and Cleaning
Use care with laundry products. They
can damage finish on the washer.
Inside
Remove items from the washer as soon as the
cycle ends. Excess wrinkling, color transfer, and
odors may develop in items left in the washer.
Dry the washer top, the area around the lid opening,
and the underside of the lid. These areas should
always be dry before the lid is closed.
Before cleaning the washer interior,
unplug the
electrical power cord
to avoid electrical shock
hazards.
When extremely soiled items have been washed,
a dirty residue may remain on the tub. Remove this
by wiping the tub with a nonabrasive household
cleanser. Rinse thoroughly with water.
The agitator or tub may become stained from fabric
dye. Clean these parts with a nonabrasive household
cleanser. This prevents dye transfer to future loads.
Outside
When washing is completed, wipe top and sides of
washer with a damp cloth. Turn water faucets off
to prevent pressure build-up in the hoses.
As needed, clean the cabinet with mild soap and
water.
Never use harsh, gritty or abrasive
cleansers.
If top or lid becomes stained, clean with
diluted chlorine bleach [1/2 cup (120 ml) in 1 quart
(.95 L) water]. Rinse several times with clear water.
Remove glue residue from tape or labels with a
mixture of warm water and mild detergent. Or,
touch residue with the sticky side of the tape or
label.
Before moving the washer,
place a strip of
cardboard or thin fiberboard under the front leveling
legs to prevent floor damage.
Winterizing Instructions
If the washer is stored in an area where freezing can
occur or moved in freezing temperatures, follow these
winterizing instructions to prevent damage to the washer:
1. Turn off water supply faucets.
2. Disconnect hoses from water supply and drain
water from hoses.
3. Plug electrical cord into a properly grounded
electrical outlet.
4. Add 1 gallon nontoxic recreational vehicle (RV)
antifreeze to empty wash tub. Close lid.
5. Set cycle selector knob at a spin setting. Pull out
knob and let washer spin for 1 minute to drain out
all water. Not all of the RV antifreeze will be
expelled.
6. Push in knob, unplug electrical power cord, dry tub
interior, and close lid.
7. Store washer in an upright position.
8. To remove antifreeze from washer after storage,
run empty washer through a complete cycle using
detergent.
Do not add wash load.
