To winterize washer

WASHER CARE
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.

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�) for about 30 seconds to mix the antifreeze and water. 5. Unplug washer or disconnect power.

To use washer again
1. Flush water pipes and hoses. 2. 3. 4. 5. Reconnect water inlet hoses. Turn on both water faucets. Plug in washer or reconnect power. Run the washer through a complete cycle with 1 cup (250 mL) of detergent to clean out antifreeze.

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.

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, mark the date of replacement on the label with a permanent marker.

Does the water level seem too low, or does the washer appear to not fill completely? The top of the agitator is much higher than the highest water level. This creates a perception that the washer is not filling completely. This is normal.

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.
