Care & Cleaning

Turn off the water faucets after finishing the day’s washing. This will shut off the water supply to the 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 and glass cleaner. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads.

Cabinet – clean with soap and water.

Fabric Softener Dispenser

1.Pull the dispenser off of the top of the agitator.

2.Soak for one hour in sink or container in hot water and dishwashing liquid.

3.Hold hands over top and bottom of dispenser and shake to loosen buildup.

4.Rinse with clean, hot water.

5.Repeat process if necessary.

6.Replace dispenser on agitator.

Do not use dishwashing liquid

inside the washer. Oversudsing can occur.

Interior – hard water deposits may be removed, if needed, using a recommended cleaner labeled washer safe.

The interior of the washer should be cleaned periodi- cally 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.Add a measured amount of chlorine bleach to the bleach dispenser, following package directions for a normal load.

2.Add 1/4 cup of detergent to the tub.

3.Run the washer through a complete cycle using hot water and the Super water level setting.

4.Repeat the process if necessary.

Storing the Washer

Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from hoses and internal components before storage. Prepare the washer for storage as follows:

Select NORMAL on the REGULAR cycle and add one cup of bleach OR white vinegar to a full load of water without clothes. (Do not mix bleach and vine- gar in the same wash. Hazardous fumes can form.) Run the washer through a complete cycle.

Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet hoses.

Disconnect the washer from the electrical supply and leave the washer lid open to let air circulate inside the tub.

If the washer has been stored in below-freezing tem- peratures, allow time for the washer to thaw out prior to use.

After storage, select NORMAL on the REGULAR cycle and run the washer through a complete cycle.
