CLEANING DISPENSER DRAWER AREA

NOTE

Detergent and fabric softener may build up in the dispenser drawer. Residue should be removed once or twice a month.

• Remove the drawer by pulling the drawer out until it stops.

• Reach back into the left rear corner of the drawer cavity and press down firmly on the lock tab. Pull out the drawer.

• Remove the insert from the prewash, bleach, and fabric softener compartments.

• Rinse the drawer and inserts with hot tap water to remove traces of accumulated powders and liquids. Large amounts of fabric softener residue may indicate improper dilution or more frequent cleaning is required.

• To clean the drawer opening, use a small brush to clean the recess. Remove all residue from the upper and lower parts of the recess.

• Replace the insert by pressing it in place until you hear a slight click. Return the dispenser drawer.

DAILY PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

• Remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle ends. Excess wrinkling, color transfer, and odors may develop in items left in the washer.

• If there are no small children or pets present, you may leave the door ajar when the washer is not in use.

• Leave the dispenser drawer open slightly at the end of the wash day.

• Dry around the washer door opening, flexible gasket, and door glass. These areas should always be clean to ensure a water tight seal.

• When extremely soiled items have been washed, a dirty residue may remain on the drum. Remove this by wiping the drum with a nonabrasive household cleanser. Rinse thor- oughly with water.

•Periodically, wipe dry the folds in the bottom of the flexible gasket to remove lint and other debris.
