DRAINING THE WASHING MACHINE IN AN EMERGENCY
1. Unplug the washing machine from the power supply.
2. Open the filter-cover by using a coin or a key.
3. Unscrew the emergency drain cap by turning left. Grip the
cap on the end of the emergency drain tube and slowly pull
it out about 6 inches.
4. Allow all the water to flow into a bowl. Keep a bucket on hand to empty water from the bowl.
While emptying the washer, the water flow can be stopped by pinching the tube.
5. Reinsert the drain tube and screw the cap back on.
6. Replace the filter-cover.
REPAIRING A FROZEN WASHING MACHINE
If the temperature drops below freezing and your washing machine is frozen:
1. Unplug the washing machine.
2. Pour warm water on the sink's faucet to loosen the water supply hose.
3. Remove the water supply hose and soak it in warm water.
4. Pour warm water into the washing machine drum and let it sit for 10 minutes.
5. Reconnect the water supply hose to the water faucet and check if the water supply and drain
operations are normal.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
1. Wipe the washing machine surfaces, including the control panel, with a soft cloth and
nonabrasive household detergents.
2. Use a soft cloth to dry the surfaces.
3. Do not pour water on the washing machine.
