CARING FOR YOUR WASHER
CLEANING YOUR WASHER
Cleaning the exterior
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills such as detergent or bleach. Occasionally wipe the outside of your washer to keep it looking new.

Proper care of your washer can extend its life. This section explains how to care for your washer properly and safely.

Cleaning the interior
Clean your washer interior by mixing 1 cup (250 mL) of chlorine bleach and 2 cups (500 mL) of detergent. Pour this into your washer and run it through a complete cycle using hot water. Repeat this process if necessary. NOTE: Remove any hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled as washer safe.

Cleaning the liquid fabric softener dispenser
Flush dispenser periodically with warm water, as shown. Remove the dispenser by grasping the top of the dispenser with both hands and squeezing and pushing upwards with thumbs. Clean the dispenser by rinsing it under a water faucet. Replace it after cleaning. NOTE: Do not wash clothes with this dispenser removed. Do not add detergent or bleach to this dispenser; it is for liquid fabric softener use only.

WINTER STORAGE, MOVING, VACATION 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. To winterize washer: 1. Shut off both water faucets. 2. Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses. 3. Put 1 quart (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the basket. 4. Run washer on a drain and spin setting (see �Drain and spin feature� earlier in this section) for about 30 seconds to mix the antifreeze and water. To use washer again: 1. Flush water pipes and hoses.

2. Reconnect water inlet hoses. 3. Turn on both water faucets. 4. Plug in washer or reconnect power. 5. Run the washer through a complete cycle with
1 cup (250 mL) of detergent to clean out antifreeze. 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 the power supply cord or turn off electrical
power to the washer. � Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.

5. Unplug washer or disconnect power.

INLET HOSES
Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of the risk of hose failure. Inspect and replace inlet replacement on the label with a permanent marker. hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found. 12
