Cleaning the Dispensers
After a period of using your washer, you may find some
residue buildup in the washer's dispensers. To remove residue
from the dispensers, wipe them with a damp cloth and towel
dry. Do not attempt to remove the dispensers or trim for
cleaning. The dispensers and trim are not removable. If your
model has a dispenser drawer, however, remove the drawer
and clean it before or after you run the Clean Washer cycle.
Use an all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed.
Cleaning the Outside of the Washer
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe away any spills. Use
only mild soaps or cleaners when cleaning external washer
surfaces.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer's finish, do not
use abrasive products.
NON-USE AND VACATION CARE
Operate your washer only when you are home. If moving, or
not using your washer for a period of time, follow these steps:
1. Unplug or disconnect power to washer.
2. Turn off water supply to washer, to avoid flooding due
to water pressure surge.
WINTER STORAGE CARE

where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in
hoses, freezing can damage washer. If storing or moving
during freezing weather, winterize your washer.

inlet hoses.
2. Put 1 qt. (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in basket and run
