WARNING
Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric shock only during

Recovery from freezing
The washer may freeze when the temperature in its location drops below 32 °F (0 °C).
1. Turn off the washer, and then unplug the power cord.
2. Pour warm water over the water tap to loosen the water hose.
3. Disconnect the water hose, and then soak it in warm water.
4. Pour warm water into the drum and leave it for about 10 minutes.
5. Reconnect the water hose to the water tap.
NOTE
If the washer still doesn't operate normally, repeat the steps above.
Cleaning the exterior
1. Turn off the water taps after finishing the day's washing.
This will shut off the water supply to your washer and prevent the unlikely possibility of damage from
escaping water. Leave the door open to allow the inside of your washer to dry out.
2. Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach, or other spills as they occur. Clean the following as
recommended below:
- 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.
Cleaning the interior
Clean the interior of your washer periodically to remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew, or bacterial
residue that may remain in your washer as a result of washing clothes.
CAUTION
Failure to follow these instructions may result in unpleasant conditions, including odors and/or permanent
stains on your washer or laundry.
NOTE
Hard water deposits may be removed, if needed. Use a cleaner labeled "Washer safe".
