Washer/Dryer Maintenance
Occasionally wipe the exterior cabinet of
the washer/dryer with a damp cloth or sponge.
Wipe dry with a soft cloth. DO NOT use polish
on plastic trim. In areas of hard water, detergent
can accumulate in the drum. Obtain a packaged
water softener. Add quantity as specied by
the manufacturer directly to the drum. Run
the washer through a complete cycle using hot
water. Repeat the process if necessary. Remove
hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled
as washer safe. Wipe the inside of the washer/
dryer door with a soft cloth to remove moisture.
Periodically apply a thin coat of paste wax to the
inner door, especially to the area immediately
next to the door window, to protect the door
nish from laundry spills and discoloration.
Reduced water ow to the washer/dryer may
indicate the Hot and Cold water inlet screens
are clogged. Remove water pressure and undo
water lines at the back of the washer/dryer.
Use tweezers or pliers to remove screens from
ttings. Clean and
install screens and
water lines. Hook
to city water or
turn on the water
pump. Check for
water leaks before
using the washer/
dryer.
NOTE
Should the washer/dryer need removal
for service, care should be taken as the
washer/dryer weighs about 170 lbs.
Use proper accommodations to avoid
injury or damage to the cabinetry.
