CARE AND CLEANING
Turn off the water faucets after finishing the day’s
washing. This will shut off the water supply to the clothes washer and prevent the unlikely possibility of damage from escaping water.
Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach or other spills as they occur.
Clean the following as recommended:
Control Panel – clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads. Do not spray cleaners directly on the panel.
Cabinet – clean with soap and water.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
The interior of the washer should be cleaned periodically to remove dirt, soil, odor or bacteria residue that may remain in the washer as a result of washing clothes. We recommend taking the following steps every 60 to 120 days to clean and freshen your washer interior. The frequency with which the washer should be cleaned and freshened depends on factors such as usage, the amount of dirt, soil or bacteria being run through your washer, or the use of cold water.
To clean and freshen the washer interior:
1.Select Normal cycle, hot wash/cold rinse water temperature, heavy soil level and the max extract spin option.
2.Press Start/Pause and wait until the washer has stopped filling with water
When the washer has stopped filling with water:
1.Press Start/Pause and lift the lid.
2.Add 1/2 cup liquid chlorine bleach to the water in the tub.
3.Close the lid and press Start/Pause to restart the washer.
4.Allow the washer to complete the cycle.
