CLEANING YOUR WASHER
Keep your washer as clean and fresh as your clothes. To keep
washer interior odor-free, follow this recommended monthly
cleaning procedure:
1. Make sure the washer is empty.
2. Using recommended AFFRESH
® washer cleaner, add one
tablet to washer basket
OR
If using liquid chlorine bleach, add 1 cup (250 mL) to
liquid chlorine bleach dispenser.
IMPORTANT: Do not add detergent. Do not use more than
recommended amount of bleach to avoid damaging product
over time.
3. Close washer lid.
4. Select BULKY cycle and hot temperature.
5. Press START/Pause/Unlock.
NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle. If cycle must
be interrupted, press START/Pause/Unlock twice and run a RINSE
& SPIN cycle to ensure bleach has been rinsed from washer.
Press and hold the START/Pause/Unlock for 3 seconds to cancel
the cycle.
Cleaning the liquid fabric softener dispenser
1. Remove dispenser by grasping top with both hands and
squeezing, while pushing upward with thumbs.
2. Rinse dispenser under warm water, then replace it.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the washer or clothing, do not wash
clothes with the liquid fabric softener dispenser removed.
Cleaning the bleach dispenser
Wipe the inside of the bleach dispenser with a clean, damp
cloth.
To clean exterior:
1. Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills.
2. Use all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer’s finish, do not use
abrasive products.
Operate your washer only when you are home. If moving, or not
using your washer for a period of time, follow these steps:
1. Unplug or disconnect power to washer.
2. Turn off water supply to washer, to avoid flooding due
to water pressure surge.
WINTER STORAGE CARE
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, install and store washer
where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in
hoses, freezing can damage washer. If storing or moving
during freezing weather, winterize your washer.
To winterize washer:
1. Shut off both water faucets; disconnect and drain water
inlet hoses.
2. Put 1 qt. (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in basket and run
washer on RINSE & SPIN cycle for about 30 seconds to mix
antifreeze and remaining water.
3. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
NON-USE AND VACATION CARE
Replace inlet hoses after 5 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.
