Cleaning Your Washer
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.
Cleaning the liquid fabric softener dispenser  
(on some models)
1.   Remove dispenser by grasping top with both hands and 
squeezing, while pushing upward with thumbs.
2.  Rinse dispenser under warm water, then replace it.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the washer or clothing, do not wash 
clothes with the liquid fabric softener dispenser removed.
WASHER CARE
Water Inlet Hoses
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.
Moving and Storage
Because some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage 
your washer. If storing or moving your washer during freezing 
weather, winterize it.
Winterizing your washer
1.  Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect and drain water inlet 
hoses. Pour 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze into the basket.
2.  Run washer on a drain and spin setting for about 30 seconds  
to mix the antifreeze and remaining water.
3.  Unplug washer or disconnect power.
     Style 2: Without liquid fabric softener dispenser  
     (on some models):
In the final rinse only, add fabric softener that has been 
 
mixed thoroughly with 1 quart (1 L) warm water.
8.   Select Extra Rinse and Fabric 
Softener options (on some 
models), if desired.
