Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills such as 

detergent or bleach from the outside of your washer.

Clean your washer interior by mixing 1 cup (250 mL) of chlorine 

bleach and enough detergent to equal twice the manufacturer’s 

recommended amount for a normal wash load. Pour this mixture 

into your washer and run it through a complete cycle using hot 

water. Repeat this process if necessary.

Remove any hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled as 

washer safe.

This washer does not include water inlet hoses. Use of factory 

specified parts is recommended. See “Accessories” for a list of 

factory specified hoses available for separate purchase. These 

hoses are manufactured and tested to meet the manufacturer’s 

specifications. 

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.

Because some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage 

your washer. If storing or moving your washer during freezing 

weather, winterize it.
