ARE AND LEANING
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. Leave the door open to allow the inside
of the washer to dry out.
Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach or other
spills as they occur.

LEANING THE
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.

LEANING THE
The dispenser may need to be cleaned periodically due to
laundry additive build-up. For easy clean-up of the dispenser,
grasp the removable two-compartment container (for
bleach and softener) as shown in illustration #1. As you
begin to lift the two-compartment container, tilt slightly
inward, according to illustration #2 and remove from the
main dispenser.
NOTE: Do not use any cleaning substance but water in the main dispenser. It is possible for cleaning substances to
drain into the tub. If this should happen, set the washer for a rinse and spin cycle to remove any cleaning substance from
the washer before doing a load of laundry.

Clean the following as recommended:
Control Panel – Clean with a soft, damp cloth.
Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads.
Do not spray cleaners directly on the panel.
Cabinet – Clean with soap and water.
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.
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 bleach and softener. Run warm water
and a soft brush or cloth over the two parts to
remove any excess laundry additives.
Clean the main dispenser area using water and a soft
cloth. Once the main dispenser is clean, follow the
illustrations in reverse order to replace the two
compartment container to its original location.
