User-Maintenance Instructions . . .
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 the washer until it has
had a chance to warm up.
Care of Your Washer
IMPORTANT: Before using the washer for the first
time, wipe out the inside of the washtub with a sudsy
cloth.
Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the control
panel. Some cleaning products may harm the finish on
the control panel. Wipe the panel dry after cleaning.
Wipe the washer cabinet as needed. If detergent, bleach
or other washing products are spilled on the cabinet, wipe
immediately. Some products will cause permanent
damage if spilled on the cabinet.
Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.
Do not lay sharp or rough objects on or against the
washer. The finish could be damaged.
The washtub will need no particular care though it may
need rinsing or wiping after some unusual load has been
washed. This also may be necessary if too little detergent
has been used.
Leave the loading door open to allow the inside of the
washer to dry out after use. This helps prevent musty
odors from developing.
Vacations and Extended Non-Use
IMPORTANT: To avoid possible property damage
due to flooding, turn off the water supply to the
washer whenever there will be an extended period of
non-use.
Reinstallation of Shipping Materials
Shipping Brace
The shipping brace in the lid opening should be saved
and reinstalled whenever the washer is moved. To
reinstall the brace, open the washer lid and place the
brace over the washer agitator, placing the back of the
brace into the washtub first.
Shipping Plug
The plastic shipping plug should be saved and reinstalled
any time the washer is moved. The plug fits into two
openings: The base opening and the shipping plug
opening on the bottom of the mobile pivot dome. The
plug MUST be inserted into both openings to prevent
damage to the washer. In order to accomplish this, the
shipping plug opening must be directly lined up with the
base opening. See illustration below.
