CARE AND CLEANING GUIDE

Warning: Always unplug your washer to avoid electric shock before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may result in injury. Before using cleaning products, always read and follow manufacturer warnings to avoid personal injury or product damage.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Use only a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the control panel.
• To avoid any kind of damage to the cabinet finish, wipe the washer cabinet as needed. If you spill liquid/powdered softener bleach or detergent on the cabinet, wipe the cabinet immediately.
• Do not use any abrasive, harsh chemicals, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated detergent, solvents or metal scouring pads. These chemicals may dissolve, damage, and/or discolor your washer.
• Leave the lid open after washing to allow the inside of the washer to dry and assist in preventing unwelcomed bad odors.

Moving & Vacationing

• Disconnect electrical plug
• Dry inner wash tub. If moving the washer disconnect the drain hose.
• Turn the leveling legs clockwise all the way in.
• Move and store your washer in an upright position only.
• To prevent mold or mildew, leave the lid open so moisture inside the machine can evaporate.
• Insert transporting bolts if you are relocating the washer. Ensure removal prior to usage.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the washer does not operate:

• Check the unit is plugged in. The plug may have come loose.
• Check if the electrical wall receptacle is of proper voltage.
• Check if the circuit breaker needs to be reset or if the fuse needs replacing.
• Check if the washer is overloaded load may need to be re-arranged or redistributed evenly.
• Check if the lid is open. You may have to close the lid properly.
• The washer pauses in some cycles. This is normal in delicate or hand- wash cycles which have a short period of time. You will not hear washer operation for a short period of time. When the soak time is over, it will start automatically.

Problems with water

• Not enough water coming out: The water faucet may need to be completely turned on. Hoses may be tangled or kinked. Straighten out hoses. Check the water level selection, it may need to be readjusted.
• Water temperature is incorrect: Check your water heater temperature. Hot water needs to be at a temperature of at least 120°F- 140°F(49°C-60°C). Check to make sure the inlet hoses are properly connected (E.g. Hot to hot & cold to cold).
• Water leaks: This may be due to incorrectly installed drain hoses or fill hoses. Your home drain may be clogged. You may need to tighten hoses, check the plumbing, or call a plumber for assistance.
• Water will not drain: This may be due to not installing your drain hose correctly. Check the position of the drain hose. In order to drain properly, make sure that the top of the drain outlet is less than 5 ft. (1.5 m) above the floor.

The washer is making noise:

• The washer may need to be reinstalled (Check the washer installation section).
• The washer load may need to be re-balanced, as the load may be uneven.
•  Coins, loose change, buttons or other heavy objects could create noise-related sounds.
• Squealing sound: Due to overloaded wash tub.
• Vibration Noise: This may be caused by not leveling the washer properly on the floor or uneven distribution of clothes in the tub.

Normal Operating Sounds

• The following sounds are normally heard during the operation of the washer:
• Tumbling sounds: This is normal as the heavy wet clothes in the washer are continuously being lost around.
• Air rushing noise: This happens when the washer tub spins at very high speeds.
• Wash and Rinse cycles going on and off will also make clicking sounds.

Problems with clothes:

• Clothes become excessively creased: this is due to improper sorting, overloading or washing in excessively hot water repeatedly. Avoid overloading and resort your load. Wash in cooler water.
• Soap residue: detergent may not be dissolved in water.
• Check the water temperature, add detergent as the wash tub is being filled with water. Reduce detergent dosage or pre-dissolve detergent before adding to wash.
• Spots or stains on your clothes: this is due to incorrect use of fabric softener. Refer to manufacturer’s instructions on the container and follow directions.
• Clothes are grayed or yellowed: this may be due to not using sufficient detergent for large loads. Add more detergent to the load.
• Clothes are ripped & have holes/excessive wear & tear: this may be due to sharp objects left in washing. Remove all small loose sharp objects, fasten belts, zippers, metal snaps etc. Check if you are using undiluted bleach. Never add undiluted bleach to wash.
