When There Is The Possibility Of Freezing Temperatures

• Close the water taps and remove the water supply hoses.

• Remove the water which remains in the water supply.

• Lower the drain hose and drain the water in the sump and the drain hose by running a spin cycle. 

Cleaning The Inside Of Your Washer

If you use fabric softener or do regular COLD water washing, it is very important that you

clean the inside of your washer occasionally as described below. 

• Fill your washer with HOT water.

• Add 1 cup of bleach. 

• Let it operate for several minutes.

• Stop the washer, open the lid, and leave it to soak overnight.

• After soaking, drain the washer and run it through a normal cycle.

Products That Might Damage Your Washing Machine

•  Concentrated bleaches and diaper sanitizer will cause damage to the paintwork and components of 

your washer.

•  Hydrocarbon solvents, i.e. gasoline, kerosene, paint thinners, and lacquer thinners, etc. can dissolve plastic 

and blister paint. 

(Be careful when washing garments stained with these solvents as they are flammable, DO NOT put 

them in washer or dryer.)

•  Some pretreatment sprays or liquids can damage your washer’s control panel.

•  Use of dyes in your washer may cause staining of the plastic components. The dye will not damage 

the machine but we suggest you thoroughly clean your washer afterwards. We do not recommend 

the use of dye strippers in your washer.

•  Do not use your washer lid as a work surface.

If Frozen

• Remove the water supply hose and immerse it in HOT water. (40° C or 104° F).

•  Pour approximately 2 liters (½ gallons ) of HOT water (40° C or 104° F) into the sump and allow it to stand for 

at least 10 minutes. 

•  Connect the water supply hose to the water tap Run an Express Wash cycle to confirm that the machine fills, 

drains, and operates properly. 

Wash Inner-Tub 

Leave the lid open after washing to allow moisture to evaporate. If you

 

want to clean the inner-tub use a clean soft cloth dampened with liquid

 

detergent, then rinse. (Do not use harsh or gritty cleaners.)

Inlet Hoses 

Hoses connecting washer to faucet should be replaced every 5 years.

Exterior 

Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth. Avoid hitting surface with sharp 

objects.

Long Vacations 

Be sure water supply is shut off at faucets. Drain all water from hoses if weather will be

 

below freezing.
