WASHER MAINTENANCE

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.
CLEANING YOUR WASHER
Keep your washer as clean and fresh as your clothes.
To keep washer interior odor-free, follow this recommended
monthly cleaning procedure:
1. Make sure the washer is empty.
2. If using liquid chlorine bleach, add 1 cup (250 mL)
to liquid chlorine bleach dispenser.
IMPORTANT: Do not add detergent to CLEAN WASHER
cycle. Do not use more than recommended amount of
bleach to avoid damaging product over time.
3. Close washer lid.
4. Press POWER.
5. Select CLEAN WASHER cycle.
6. Press START/Pause/Unlock. Water will pour into
washer for a moment and pause, lid will lock, then
cycle will continue.
NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle. If cycle must
be interrupted, press POWER and run a RINSE AND SPIN
cycle to ensure cleaner or bleach have been rinsed from
washer.
To clean exterior:
1. Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills.
2. Use all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer's finish,
do not use abrasive products.
