Cold Weather Care

If the washer is delivered on a cold day (below

freezing), or is stored in an unheated room or
area during the cold months, do not attempt
to operate it until the washer has had a
chance to warm up.

Care of Your Washer

Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning

the control panel. Some spray pretreat
products may harm the finish on the control
panel.

Wipe the washer cabinet as needed. If

detergent, bleach or other washing products
are spilled on the cabinet, wipe immediately.
Some products will cause permanent damage
if spilled on the cabinet.

Do not use scouring pads or abrasive

cleansers.

The washtub will need no particular care

though it may need rinsing or wiping after an
unusual load has been washed. This also may
be necessary if too little detergent has been
used.

Leave the lid open to allow the inside of the

washer to dry out after use. This helps
prevent musty odors from developing.

Check the filter screens in the fill hoses for

debris or damage at least once a year. Clean or
replace them if necessary.

Replacing Hoses

Hoses and other natural parts deteriorate

after extended use. Hoses may develop
cracks, blisters or material wear from the
temperature and constant high pressure they
are subjected to.

All hoses should be checked on a monthly

basis for any visible signs of deterioration. Any
hose showing the signs of deterioration listed
above should be replaced immediately.

All hoses should be replaced every five years.

Vacations and Extended

Non-Use

To avoid possible property damage due to

flooding, turn off the water supply to the
washer whenever there will be an extended
period of non-use.
