Loading and using the washer.
Care and Cleaning of the Washer
Wash Basket: Leave the lid open after washing to
allow moisture to evaporate. If you want to clean the
basket use a clean soft cloth dampened with liquid
detergent, then rinse. (Do not use harsh or gritty
cleaners.)
Fill Hoses: Hoses connecting washer to faucet should
be replaced every 5 years.
Lint Filter: The lint filter is located under the agitator.
It is self-cleaning and requires no maintenance.
Exterior: Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with
damp cloth. Try not to hit surface with sharp objects.
