WASHER CARE
Cleaning Your Washer
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills such as detergent or bleach from the outside of your washer. Clean your washer interior by mixing 1 cup (250 mL) of chlorine bleach and 2 cups (500 mL) of detergent. Pour this mixture into your washer and run it through a complete cycle using hot water. Repeat this process if necessary. Remove any hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled as washer safe. Cleaning the liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some models): 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: If your model has a liquid fabric softener dispenser, do not wash clothes with this dispenser removed. Do not add detergent or bleach to this dispenser; it is for liquid fabric softener only.

Moving & Storage
Because some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your washer. If storing or moving your washer during freezing weather, winterize it. Winterizing your washer 1. Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses. Pour 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the basket. 2. Run washer on a drain and spin setting for about 30 seconds to mix the antifreeze and water. 3. Unplug washer or disconnect power. To use washer again 1. Flush water pipes and hoses. Reconnect water inlet hoses. Turn on both water faucets. 2. Plug in washer or reconnect power. 3. Run the washer through a complete cycle with 1 cup (250 mL) of detergent to clean out antifreeze. Storage, 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: 1. Unplug washer or disconnect power. 2. Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.

Water Inlet Hoses
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.
