LEANING 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.
Cleaning the interior
Clean your washer interior by mixing 250 mL (1 cup)
of liquid bleach and 500 mL (2 cups) 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.

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 L (1 quart) of R.V.-type antifreeze in
the basket.
4. Run washer on a drain and spin setting (see
the “Rinse/Drain and Spin” section) for about
30 seconds to mix the antifreeze and water.
5. Unplug the power supply cord.
To use washer again:
1. Flush water pipes and hoses.
2. Reconnect water inlet hoses.
3. Turn on both water faucets.
4. Reconnect power supply cord.
5. Run the washer through a complete cycle with
250 mL (1 cup) 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.
