CARE AND CLEANING

Outside Routine Cleaning

When washing is completed, wipe top and sides of washer with a damp cloth. Turn water faucets off to prevent pres- sure build-up in the hoses.

Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. Never use harsh, gritty or abrasive cleansers

If the cabinet becomes stained, clean with diluted chlo- rine 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.

When cleaning chrome parts use a window cleaner with ammonia or mild soap and water.

Before moving the washer, place a strip of cardboard or thin fiberboard under the front leveling legs to prevent damage to the floor.
