To reduce risk of fire or serious injury to persons or property, comply with the basic warnings listed in Important Safety Instructions and those listed below.

Before cleaning the washer or dryer interior, unplug the electrical power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.

Do not use any type of spray cleanser when cleaning the dryer interior. Hazardous fumes or electrical shock could occur.

Cleaning the Dispenser Drawer Area

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

Remove the drawer by first sliding the safety latch to the right, then pulling the drawer out until it stops. (Figure 1)

Reach back into the left rear corner of the drawer cavity and press down firmly on the lock tab (left rear portion of the drawer). Pull out the drawer. (Figure 2)

Remove the inserts from the bleach and fabric softener compartments. (Figure 3)

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. (Figure 4)

Return the bleach and fabric softener inserts to their proper compartments. Replace the dispenser drawer and run the short wash cycle without any wash load in the drum.

Inside

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.

Before cleaning the washer interior, unplug the electrical power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.

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 thoroughly with water.

The plastic drum vanes may become stained from fabric dye. Clean these parts with a nonabrasive household cleanser. This prevents dye transfer to future loads.
