CARE AND CLEANING
W ARNING
•
Don't use solvents to clean your washer. They can damage the finish
and create toxic gases that can harm you or explode.
•
Don't sprinkle or spay water or other liquids directly on your washer.
•
Don't use detergents containing PCMX to clean your washer. PCMX
can damage the finish.
SERVICE PERSONNEL—Some internal parts are intentionally not
grounded and may present a risk of electric shock during servicing. Do
not contact the following parts while the appliance is energized:
electrical valve, drain pump, door lock, dry heater, fan motor.
Caution
Before performing any maintenance, turn off your washer, unplug the
power cord, and turn off the water faucets.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the exterior
Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach, or other spills as they
occur.
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.
•
Failure to follow these instructions may result in unpleasant conditions,
including odors or permanent stains in your washer or on your laundry.
•
To remove hard water deposits, use a cleaner labeled "Washer safe".
Cleaning the control panel
•
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning
pads.
•
Do not spray cleaners directly on the panel. The control panel finish
may be damaged by some laundry pre-treatment soil and stain remover
products. Apply such products away from your washer and wipe up any
spills or over-spray immediately.
