Tips for caring for your washer/dryer
l
Wipe up detergent, bleach, and other spills
with
a
soft, damp cloth or sponge as they
occur.
l
Remove hard water deposits using only
cleaners labeled as washer safe.
l
After tinting or dyeing, put chlorine bleach
and detergent in the washer. Run through
a complete cycle using hot water to
remove excess dye or tint. If staining
occurs on following loads, repeat the
process.
l
Sharp or metal objects can damage your
washer/dryer. Check pockets for pins,
clips, money, bolts, nuts, etc. Do not lay
these objects on your washer after empty-
ing pockets.
NOTE: Operate your washer/dryer only when you are at home.
Care during periods of non-use
Winter storage or moving care
Install and store your washer/dryer where it
will not freeze. Because some water stays in
the washer, freezing can damage it. If your
washer/dryer is stored or moved during
freezing weather, winterize it.
1.
Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect
the drain water inlet hoses.
2. Put 1 quart (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in
the washer basket.
3. Run washer on a drain and spin setting
for about 30 seconds (see page 10) to
mix antifreeze and water.
4. Unplug power supply cord.
To use the 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 l/z cup (125 mL) of detergent to clean
out antifreeze.
Non-use/vacatiqn care
1. Unplug power supply cord or turn off
electrical power.
2. Clean lint screen and lint filter.
3. Turn off water supply leading to your
washer/dryer. This will help avoid acci-
dental flooding while you are away (for
example, due to a water pressure surge).
