Special Features
Unbalanced Spin
Load Compensator
Your new washer is designed to handle out-of-balance
loads without
shutting
down or interrupting
the
washing
cycle.
For this reason, the cycle will always be completed.
If
heavier fabrics in such out-of-balance
loads should
ever contain excessive moisture at the completion
of
the cycle, redistribute
the clothes in the washer and
reset the control dial for the final spin period.
Overload Protector
A built-in
protector
automatically
shuts off the washer
motor in case of an overload. This can occur if:
• The load being washed is too heavy.
• Too many appliances
are plugged into the line
operating
your washer.
• A low voltage condition
exists on the line.
• Lid is opened and closed repeatedly.
The overload protector permits the washer to start again
when the motor has cooled to a safe operating temperature.
If the motor stops repeatedly, call your service technician.
Care & Cleaning
1. After washing,
leave the lid open until the interior
is dry.
2. Check hoses to be sure there are no kinks or knots.
3. Your washer should not be installed where
temperatures
will go below freezing, as damage to
the washer could result.
4. To clean, occasionally
wipe exterior with a clean
damp sponge or cloth. Do not use polish on plastic
parts.
5. Lifetime lubrication
is done at the factory, so your
washer never needs to be oiled or greased.
6. Do not lay heavy or sharp objects on top of your
washer.
7. The top of the washer should not be used for
removing stains from garments. Some stain
removers, such as rust remover, will mar the finish.
8. Remove pins, buckles or other sharp objects from
clothes to prevent scratching
interior parts.
9. Clothes should not be stored in washer.
10. Bleach, detergent,
solvents, etc. spilled on the top
of your washer that are allowed to remain will
remove the glossy finish. Remove all spills with a
damp, soft cloth.
11. If you close your home for the winter, have a service
technician
drain the washer. Unplug cord from
electrical
outlet and disconnect
hoses from faucets.
Cleaning
the Interior
The interior of the washer should be cleaned
periodically
to remove dirt, soil, odor or bacteria
residue that may remain in the washer as a result of
washing
clothes. We recommend
taking the following
steps every 60 to 120 days to clean and freshen your
washer interior. The frequency
with which the washer
should be cleaned and freshened
depends on factors
such as usage, the amount of dirt, soil or bacteria being
run through your washer, or the use of cold water.
To clean and freshen the washer interior:
1.
Add a measured amount of chlorine bleach to the
bleach dispenser, following
package directions.
.
3.
Add 1/4 cup of detergent
to the tub.
Run the washer through
a complete cycle using
hot water.
4.
Repeat the process if necessary.
