If moving, or not using your washer for a period of time, follow

these steps:

1. Unplug or disconnect power to washer.

2. Turn off water supply to washer, to avoid ooding due

to water pressure surge.

WINTER STORAGE CARE

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage, install and store washer

where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in

hoses, freezing can damage washer. If storing or moving

during freezing weather, winterize your washer.

To winterize washer:

1. Shut off both water faucets; disconnect and drain water

inlet hoses.

2. Put 1 qt. (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in basket and run

a wash cycle for about 30 seconds to mix antifreeze and

remaining water.

3. Unplug washer or disconnect power.

NON-USE AND VACATION CARE

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.

Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean and

Performing at Its Best

1. Always follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions

regarding the amount of detergent to use. Never use

more than the recommended amount because that

may increase the rate at which detergent and soil

residue accumulate inside your washer which,

in turn, may result in undesirable odor.

2. Use warm and hot wash water settings sometimes (not

exclusively cold water washes), because they do a better

job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent

accumulate.

3. Always leave the washer lid open between uses to help

dry out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-causing

residue.

Cleaning Your Top Loading Washer

Read these instructions completely before beginning the

routine cleaning processes recommended below. This Washer

Maintenance Procedure should be performed, at a minimum,

once per month or every 30 wash cycles, whichever occurs

sooner, to control the rate at which soils and detergent may

otherwise accumulate in your washer.

Cleaning the Inside of the Washer

To keep your washer odor-free, follow the usage instructions

provided above, and use this recommended cleaning

procedure:

Recommended Cycle for Cleaning the Washer

For optimal cleaning use chlorine bleach:

a. Open the washer lid and remove any clothing or items.

b. Add 1 cup (236 mL) of liquid chlorine bleach to the wash

basket.

NOTE: Use of more liquid chlorine bleach than is

recommended above could cause washer damage

over time.

c. Close the washer lid.

d. Do not add any detergent or other chemical to the washer

when following this procedure.

e. Select the Heavy Duty cycle.

f. Press the Start button to start the cycle.

NOTE: Do not interrupt cycle.

Cleaning the Optional Fabric Softener Dispenser

After a period of using your washer, you may nd some residue

buildup in the dispenser. To remove residue from the dispenser,

wipe with a damp cloth and towel dry. Use an all-purpose

surface cleaner, if needed.

Cleaning the Outside of the Washer

Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe away any spills.

Use only mild soaps or cleaners when cleaning external

washer surfaces.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer’s nish, do not

use abrasive products.

NOTE: The Clean Washer cycle should be used 1 or 2 times

a year. Check the Tech Sheet for access to the Clean Washer

cycle in the Diagnostic Test Mode.

TRANSPORTING YOUR WASHER

1. Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect and drain water

inlet hoses.

2. If washer will be moved during freezing weather, follow

“Winter Storage Care” directions before moving.

3. Disconnect drain hose from drain system and drain any

remaining water into a pan or bucket. Disconnect drain

hose from back of washer.

4. Unplug power cord.

5. Place inlet hoses and drain hose inside washer basket.

6. Drape power cord over edge and into washer basket.
