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

! CLEANING THE DISPENSER

Once the two-compartment container is removed from the main dispenser,take it to a sink. Follow illustration #3

to remove the cap covering the siphon tube for the bleachand softener. Run warm water and a soft brush or cloth over the two parts to remove any excess laundry additives.
