WASHER CARE
Cleaning Your Washer
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills such as detergent or bleach from the outside of your washer.
Clean your washer interior by mixing 1 cup (250 mL) of chlorine bleach and 2 cups (500 mL) of detergent. Pour this mixture into your washer and run it through a complete cycle using hot water. Repeat this process if necessary.
Remove any hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled as washer safe.
Cleaning the liquid fabric softener dispenser (on some models):
1.Remove dispenser by grasping top with both hands and squeezing, while pushing upward with thumbs.
2.Rinse dispenser under warm water, then replace it.
NOTE: Some models are equipped with a liquid fabric softener dispenser. To avoid damage to the washer or clothing, do not wash clothes with the liquid fabric softener dispenser removed or add detergent or bleach to this dispenser; it is for liquid fabric softener only.
