Care and maintenance instructions Proper care of your washer can extend its life. This section explains how to care for your washer properly and safely. Cleaning your washer Exterior - Wipe up detergent, bleach, and other spills with a soft, damp cloth or sponge as they occur. Do not use any solvents, as these can damage the machine. Interior - Clean interior with 250ml (1 cup) of chlorine bleach mixed with 500ml (2 cups) of detergent. Run washer through a complete cycle. Repeat this process if necessary. Winter storage or moving care Install and store your washer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your washer. If you store or move your washer during freezing weather, winterize it. To winterize washer 1. Turn off water faucet. 2. Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses. 3. Run washer on a drain and spin setting for 1 minute. 4. Unplug the power supply cord. 5. Open the drain pump cover and remove the coin trap insert. Use a shallow bowl or old towels to catch the water that drains from the unit. Replace the coin trap and close the drain pump cover. Non-use or vacation care Operate your washer only when you are at home. If you are on vacation or don't use your washer for an extended period of time, you should: • Unplug the power supply cord or turn off power to the washer. • Turn off the water supplier to the washer. This helps avoid accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away. Cleaning the water inlet filter If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filter may become clogged. 1. Pull the power plug out before cleaning it. 2. Turn off the water supply to the washer and separate the inlet hose. 3. Pull the inlet filter out. Remove the dirt from the inlet filter with a brush. 4. Put the inlet filter back. Tighten the inlet hose. 20 Customer Care Center 1-800-898-1879 www.askousa.com
