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 pressure 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 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.

When cleaning chrome parts use a window cleaner with am- monia 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.
