Care and Cleaning
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.
•Dry the washer top, the area around the lid opening, and the underside of the lid. These areas should always be dry before the lid is closed.
•Before cleaning the washer interior, unplug the electrical power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards.
•When extremely soiled items have been washed, a dirty residue may remain on the tub. Remove this by wiping the tub with a nonabrasive household cleanser. Rinse thoroughly with water.
•The agitator or tub may become stained from fabric dye. Clean these parts with a nonabrasive household cleanser. This prevents dye transfer to future loads.
Outside
•When washing is completed, wipe top and sides of washer with a damp cloth. Turn water faucets off to prevent pressure
•Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. Never use harsh, gritty or abra- sive cleansers
•If the cabinet becomes stained, clean with diluted chlorine bleach (1 part bleach to 8 parts water). Rinse several times with clear water.
•Remove glue residue from tape or labels with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent. Or, touch residue with the sticky side of tape.
•Before moving the washer, place a strip of cardboard or thin fiberboard under the front leveling legs to prevent damage to the floor.
Do not store or place laundry products on top of washer at any time. They can damage the finish or controls.
