CLEANING THE WATER INLET FILTERS

If the washer does not fill properly, an error mes-
sage 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 flood-
ing and/or property damage.
Hot
Cold
Inlet Filter
1. Turn OFF both water faucets completely. Un-
screw the hot and cold water lines from the back
of the washer.
IMPORTANT: Aftermarket hoses are not guaran-
teed to fit or function correctly. Other hoses may
not tighten correctly and could cause leaks. Sub-
sequent 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 instruc-
tions. Be careful not to damage the filters while
cleaning.
3. Rinse thoroughly before reinstalling. Press the fil-
ters 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.
NOTE: 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
y Unplug the power cord and turn off the faucets
before cleaning. Failure to do so may cause
electric shock.
y 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.
y If you use the washing machine in an area with
hard water, the inlet filter may clog due to lime
buildup.

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 pro-
tect 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 gallon of nontoxic recreational vehicle (RV)
antifreeze to the empty tub and close the lid. Nev-
er use automotive antifreeze.
5. Press the POWER button, then select Spin Only.
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 antifreeze,
leaving enough to protect the washer from dam-
age.
6. Unplug the power cord, dry the tub interior with a
soft cloth, and close the lid.
7. Remove the inserts from the dispenser. Drain any
water in the compartments and let them dry.
8. Store the washer in an upright position.
9. To remove the antifreeze from the washer after
storage, run a complete Speed Wash cycle using
detergent. Do not add laundry to this cycle.
