Always do the following to maintain washer freshness
■
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
■
Leave the door slightly open after each cycle to allow for
better ventilation and drying of washer interior.
■
Run this procedure using
¹⁄₃
cup (78.8 mL) of liquid chlorine
bleach, if necessary.
■
If the procedure does not sufficiently improve the machine
freshness, evaluate your installation and usage conditions for
other causes.
Cleaning the exterior
Use a soft damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills.
Occasionally wipe the outside of your washer to keep it looking
new. Use mild soap and water. Do not use abrasive products.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The dispenser drawer is removable for easy cleaning.
1. Unlock the dispenser drawer by pressing the Release Lever in
the Prewash compartment. See “Using the Dispenser.”
Remove the drawer.
2. Remove the inserts (the siphon from the softener and bleach
compartments and the separator).
3. Wash the parts under running water.
4. Replace the inserts and return the dispenser to the drawer.
Water Inlet Hoses
Replace inlet hoses after five years of use to reduce the risk of
hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if
bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses, record the date of replacement.
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
unintended flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you
are away.
■
Slightly open door to provide ventilation.
To winterize washer:
1. Put 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the drum.
2. Run washer on a DRAIN/SPIN cycle.
3. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
4. Shut off both water faucets.
5. Disconnect water inlet hoses from faucets and drain.
To use washer again:
1. Flush water pipes. Reconnect water inlet hoses to faucets.
Turn on both water faucets.
2. Plug in washer or reconnect power.

If the washer displays the letters “Ab” (Add Bleach) in the
Estimated Time Remaining display, you will hear 4 short
tones. Proceed to Step 6.
If the washer displays the letters “rL” (Remove Load) in
the Estimated Time Remaining display, an error tone will
sound. The door will unlock.
■
Open the door and remove the items from the washer.
■
Continue the cycle by pressing the START button.
NOTE: The water in the unit will dispense for a
moment, then the door will unlock, lock again, and
then the cycle will continue with another check for
items in the washer.
■
The machine will fill and run a short cycle to
determine whether any items have been left in the
washer. This will take approximately 3 minutes.
■
The washer will repeat Step 5 until it can determine
that there are no items in the washer and will display
“Ab” (Add Bleach).
a)
b)
If using the maintenance procedure for the first time,
open the dispenser drawer and immediately add 1 cup
(236.6 mL) liquid chlorine bleach to the Main Wash
detergent compartment. The liquid chlorine bleach
should immediately flow out of the dispenser.
If doing a monthly maintenance procedure, open the
dispenser drawer and immediately add
¹⁄₃
cup (78.8 mL)
liquid chlorine bleach to the Main Wash detergent
compartment. The liquid chlorine bleach should
immediately flow out of the dispenser.
NOTES:
■
Water will be flowing into the dispenser drawer when
the bleach is added. This is normal.
■
Do not add any detergent to this cleaning cycle. Use
of more than 1 cup (236.6 mL) of bleach will cause
product damage over time.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
