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.
Winterizing the Washer/Dryer
Winterize Using Air Pressure:
1. Hook an airline (regulated to 45 psi or
less) to the water inlet of the
motorhome.
2. Rotate Selector knob to a wash position
with the Wash Temp setting on Warm.
Press the power button to ON. Air
pressure clears the Hot and Cold water
lines.
3. After water lines are clear, rotate Selec-
tor knob to Spin. Allow the pump to
drain the drum.
4. Set Selector knob to Reset and Timer to
zero. The door unlocks in 2 minutes or
less. Open door and pour in ¼ gallon of
non-toxic antifreeze.
5. Set selector knob to Spin. The pump
primes with antifreeze. Set selector
knob to Reset and turn the power OFF.
CAUTION:
The washer/dryer may require special
winterizing instructions. Refer to
the washer/dryer OEM manual for
instructions and recommendations.
