ENGLISH CARE AND CLEANING 23 MAINTENANCE Cleaning the Water Inlet Filters If the washer does not fill properly, an error message will show on the display. The inlet valve filter screens could be plugged by hard water scale, sediment in the water supply, or other debris. NOTE: The inlet screens protect the delicate parts of the inlet valve from being damaged by particles that could enter the valves with the water supply. Operating the washer with these filters removed could cause a valve to stick open resulting in flooding and/or property damage. Cold water inlet NOTE: An IE message may blink on the display when the water pressure is weak or an inlet filter is clogged with dirt. Clean the inlet filter. WARNING yy Unplug the power cord and turn off the faucets before cleaning. Failure to do so may cause electric shock. yy Do not use the washing machine without the inlet filters. If you use the washing machine without the inlet filters it will cause leaks and product malfunction. yy If you use the washing machine in an area with hard water, the inlet filter may clog due to lime buildup. yy Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric shock only during servicing. Service personnel-do not contact the following parts while the appliance is energized. : pump, motor, noise filter cover, and heater (on applicable models). Hot water inlet Inlet Filter 1. Turn OFF both water faucets completely. Unscrew the hot and cold water lines from the back of the washer. IMPORTANT: Aftermarket hoses are not guaranteed to fit or function correctly. Other hoses may not tighten correctly and could cause leaks. Subsequent damage to product or property will not be covered under the terms of the product warranty. 2. Carefully remove the filters from the water valves and soak them in white vinegar or a lime scale remover, following the manufacturer's instructions. Be careful not to damage the filters while cleaning. 3. Rinse thoroughly before reinstalling. Press the filters back into place. 4. Before reattaching the hoses, flush the hoses and water lines by running several gallons of water into a bucket or drain, preferably with the faucets wide open for maximum flow. Storing the Washer If the washer will not be used for an extended period of time and is in an area that could be exposed to freezing temperatures, perform the following steps to protect the washer from damage. 1. Turn OFF the water supply. 2. Disconnect the hoses from the water supply and drain water from the hoses. 3. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet. 4. Add 1/4 gallon of nontoxic recreational vehicle (RV) antifreeze to the empty tub and close the lid. Never use automotive antifreeze. 5. Press the POWER button, then select the Spin Only cycle (see page 20). Press the START/PAUSE button to activate the drain pump. Allow the drain pump to run for one minute, then press the POWER button to shut off the washer. This will expel some of the anifreeze, leaving enough to protect the washer from damage. 6. Unplug the power cord, dry the tub interior with a soft cloth, and close the lid. 7. Store the washer in an upright position. 8. To remove the antifreeze from the washer after storage, run a complete wash cycle using detergent. Do not add laundry to this cycle. MFL68267005_E.indd 23 2018. 7. 18. 오전 9:22
