MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE WATER INLET FILTERS
If the washer does not fill properly, an error
message will show on the display. The inlet valve
filter screens could be plugged by hard water scale,
sediment in the water supply, or other debris.
NOTE: The inlet screens protect the delicate parts
of the inlet valve from being damaged by particles
that could enter the valves with the water supply.
Operating the washer with these filters removed
could cause a valve to stick open resulting in
flooding and/or property damage.
Inlet Filter
1. Turn OFF both water faucets completely.
Unscrew the hot and cold water lines from the
back of the washer.
IMPORTANT: Aftermarket hoses are not guaranteed
to fit or function correctly. Other hoses may not
tighten correctly and could cause leaks. Subsequent
damage to product or property will not be covered
under the terms of the product warranty.
2. Carefully remove the filters from the water
valves and soak them in white vinegar or a lime
scale remover, following the manufacturer's
instructions. Be careful not to damage the filters
while cleaning.
3. Rinse thoroughly before reinstalling. Press the
filters back into place.
4. Before reattaching the hoses, flush the hoses and
water lines by running several gallons of water
into a bucket or drain, preferably with the faucets
wide open for maximum flow.

CARE AND CLEANING
NOTE: An IE message may blink on the display
when the water pressure is weak or an inlet filter is
clogged with dirt. Clean the inlet filter.
WARNING
y Unplug the power cord and turn off the faucets be-
fore cleaning. Failure to do so may cause electric
shock.
y Do not use the washing machine without the inlet
filters. If you use the washing machine without the
inlet filters it will cause leaks and product malfunc-
tion.
y If you use the washing machine in an area with hard
water, the inlet filter may clog due to lime buildup.
STORING THE WASHER
If the washer will not be used for an extended period of
time and is in an area that could be exposed to freezing
temperatures, perform the following steps to protect the
washer from damage.
1. Turn OFF the water supply.
2. Disconnect the hoses from the water supply and drain
water from the hoses.
3. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded electrical
outlet.
4. Add 1/4 gallon of nontoxic recreational vehicle (RV)
antifreeze to the empty tub and close the lid. Never use
automotive antifreeze.
5. Press the POWER button, then select the Spin Only
cycle (see page 20). Press the START/PAUSE button
to activate the drain pump. Allow the drain pump to run
for one minute, then press the POWER button to shut
off the washer. This will expel some of the anifreeze,
leaving enough to protect the washer from damage.
6. Unplug the power cord, dry the tub interior with a soft
cloth, and close the lid.
7. Store the washer in an upright position.
8. To remove the antifreeze from the washer after storage,
run a complete wash cycle using detergent. Do not add
laundry to this cycle.
WARNING
y When foreign objects are accumulated, water can
flow backward.
