WARNING:

cleaning solvents or other flammable or
vaporous substances that could ignite
or explode. DO NOT add gasoline, dry
cleaning solvents or other flammable or
explosive substances to the wash water.
CAUTION:
DO NOT use heat to dry articles
containing foam rubber or similar
textured, rubber-like materials.
To begin a wash load:
Sort and pre-treat clothes.
Add the measured amount of detergent
suggested by the package directions
(maximum two tablespoons).
Load wash tray with detergent.
Load the laundry loosely into the washer.
Close the washer door.

Washer-Dryer Maintenance
Occasionally wipe the exterior cabinet of
the washer-dryer with a damp cloth or sponge.
Wipe dry with a soft cloth. DO NOT use
polish on plastic trim. In areas of hard water,
detergent can accumulate in the drum. Obtain
a packaged water softener. Add quantity as
specied by the manufacturer directly to the
drum. Run the washer through a complete
cycle using hot water. Repeat the process if
necessary. Remove hard water deposits using
only cleaners labeled as washer safe. Wipe
the inside of the washer-dryer door with a soft
cloth to remove moisture. Periodically apply
a thin coat of paste wax to the inner door,
especially to the area that is immediately next
to the door window. This will protect the door
nish from laundry spills and discoloration.
If water ow to the washer-dryer is reduced,
the Hot and Cold water inlet screens may be
clogged. Remove water pressure and undo
water lines at the back of the washer-dryer.
Use tweezers or pliers to remove screens from
ttings. Clean and install screens and water
lines. Hook to city water or turn on the water
pump. Check for water leaks before using the
washer-dryer.
NOTE:
Should the washer-dryer need removal
for service, care should be taken as the
washer-dryer weighs approximately 170
lbs. Proper accommodations should be
made to avoid risk of injury or damage
to the cabinetry.
Winterizing the Washer-Dryer
