WARNING
• Unplug the washer before cleaning to avoid

this warning can cause serious injury, fire,
electrical shock, death.
• Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive
cleaners, or solvents to clean the washer.
They will damage the finish.

thinner, alcohol, acetone, etc.) or detergents
with strong chemical components when
cleaning the washing machine. Doing so may
cause discoloration or damage to the machine,
or it may cause a fire.

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:
1. Turn off water supply tap.
2. Disconnect hoses from water supply and drain
water from hoses.
3. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded
electrical outlet.
4. Add 1 gallon of nontoxic recreational vehicle (RV)
antifreeze to the empty wash drum. Close door.
5. Select the spin cycle and let washer spin for 1
minute to drain out all the water.
6. Unplug the power cord, dry the drum interior
with a soft cloth, and close the door.
7. Remove the inserts from the dispenser.
Drain any water in compartments and dry the
compartments.
8. Store the washer in an upright position.
9. To remove the antifreeze from the washer after
storage, run washer through a complete cycle
using detergent. Do not add laundry!
NOTE
• Not all of the RV antifreeze will be expelled.
• Weekly cleaning of the detergent dispenser
will ensure problem free operation.

Cleaning the Dispenser

1. The dispenser should be cleaned periodically
to remove buildup from detergent and other
laundry products.

clean them with warm water and a soft cloth
or brush to remove any residue or buildup.
