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. CLEANING YOUR WASHER Keep your washer as clean and fresh as your clothes. To keep washer interior odor-free, follow this recommended monthly cleaning procedure: 1. Make sure the washer is empty. 2. Using recommended AFFRESH® washer cleaner, add one tablet to washer drum. OR If using liquid chlorine bleach, add 1 cup (250 mL) to liquid chlorine bleach dispenser. Press the START/PAUSE button to start the wash cycle. Filling is delayed for several minutes while load balance is sensed. When the cycle has finished, the end of cycle signal will sound (if set). Promptly remove garments when cycle is done to avoid odor, reduce wrinkling, and rusting of metal hooks, zippers, and snaps. If lid is left open for more than 10 minutes the water will pump out. Delay in water fill Filling is delayed for 2 to 3 minutes to check for load unbalance. You will hear the hum of the spin prior to filling. This is normal operation. IMPORTANT: Do not add detergent to CLEAN WASHER with AFFRESH™ cycle. Do not use more than recommended amount of bleach to avoid damaging product over time. 3. Close washer lid. 4. Press POWER/CANCEL. 5. Select CLEAN WASHER with AFFRESH™ cycle. 6. Press START/PAUSE. Water will pour into washer for a moment and pause, lid will lock, then cycle will continue. NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle. If cycle must be interrupted, press START/PAUSE twice and run a RINSE AND SPIN cycle to ensure cleaner or bleach have been rinsed from washer. To clean exterior: 1. Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills. 2. Use all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed. IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer's finish, do not use abrasive products. 12
