CARE AND CLEANING

WASHER

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

Cabinet – Clean with soap and water followed with an appliance wax, if desired.

Cleaning the Interior – Clean the interior of the washer periodically to remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew 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. Failure to follow these instructions may result in unsatisfactory conditions, including unpleasant odor and/or permanent stains on the washer or washload.

To clean and freshen the washer interior:

1. Make a solution of one cup chlorine bleach and two cups warm water. Be careful not to spill or splash the bleach solution.

2. Wipe the lower portion of gray door seal with bleach solution and soft cloth.

3. Fill the bleach dispenser with chlorine bleach.

4. Run the washer through a complete cycle using hot water.

5. Repeat the wash cycle if necessary.

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

DRYER

Tumbler – If the tumbler becomes stained by a crayon, ink pen or other item inadvertently left in a garment, clean the tumbler with an all purpose cleaner such as:

Fantastik®, Soft Scrub® or Formula 409®.* Then tumble old towels or rags to remove any excess stain or cleaning substance.

Exhaust System Cleaning – While the lint filter will catch most of the lint from the load, some will get through and may build up in the ductwork. It is important to completely inspect and clean all lint accumulation from the interior of the ductwork annually to maintain drying performance.The exhaust hood on the outside of the home should be cleaned more frequently to ensure the damper opens and closes freely.

Refer to the Installation Instructions for more details on proper exhausting.
