Replacing Hoses
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 cleaning product sprays may
harm the fmish on the control panel or damage the
interior
of
the hood.
Wipe the washer cabinet as needed.
If
detergent,
bleach or other washing products are spilled
on
the
cabinet, wipe immediately. Some products will cause
pennanent damage
if
spilled
on
the cabinet.
Do
not use scouring pads
or
abrasive cleansers.
The wash
drum will need no particular care although it
may need rinsing or wiping after an unusual load has
been washed.
The
outside
of
the door window can
be
cleaned with
household window cleaner.
Running an occasional rinse cycle with bleach will
help to avoid a musty smell in the wash drum.
Cleaning Glass Sealing Area
In
order to assure that the door properly seals against
water leaks, the following surfaces should
be
wiped
off
periodically:
• The outside perimeter
of
the door glass where the
seal contacts the glass
•
The
front surface
of
the door seal lip
Usually a mild soap solution will work.
If
there is an
extreme build-up
of
minerals from a hard water
supply, the surfaces
may
need to
be
cleaned with a
lime removal chemical.
Hoses and other natural rubber 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.
Filter Screens
Check the filter screens in the fill hoses for debris
or
damage annually. Clean or replace them
if
necessary.
If
the washer is filling with water slower than normal,
check the filter screens. Clean
or
replace them
if
necessary.
Order filter screen Part No. F270300 from the nearest
authorized parts distributor.
Vacations and Extended Non-Use
IMPORTANT:
To
avoid possible property damage
due to flooding,
tum
off the water supply to the
washer whenever there
will be
an
extended period
of
non-use.
Leave the loading door open during extended periods
of
non-use to allow the wash drum to dry out and
avoid a musty smell.
