CA E AND CLEANING
REGULAR CLEANING
WARNING:
• Unplug the washer before cleaning to avoid the risk of electric shock. Failure to follow this warning
can cause serious injury, fire, electrical shock, or death.
• Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents to clean the washer.
They will damage the finish.
Cleaning t#e Exterior
Proper care of your washer can extend its life. The
outside of the machine can be cleaned with warm
water and a mild, nonabrasive household detergent.
Immediately wipe off any spills with a soft, damp
cloth.
IMPORTANT: Do not use methylated spirits, solvents,
or similar products.
Never use steel wool or abrasive cleansers; they can
damage the surface.
Care and Cleaning of the Interior
Use a towel or soft cloth to wipe around the
washer door opening, door seal, and door glass.
These areas should be kept clean to ensure a
watertight seal. Be sure to wipe under the inside
rubber seal to remove any moisture or soil.
Always remove items from the washer as soon
as the cycle is completed. Leaving damp items
in the washer can cause wrinkling, color transfer,
and odor. Run the TUB CLEAN+ cycle regularly to
remove detergent buildup and other residue.
NOTE: If you use the TUB CLEAN+ cycle on a
monthly basis, the wash drum will be kept clean.
Cleaning t#e Steam and Water
Circulation NOzzles
Use a cotton swab to remove lime or detergent
buildup from the inside of the steam and water
circulation nozzles. NEVER use a sharp or
pointed object; you could damage the nozzles.
Removing stains on the Door Seal
NOTE: Wear rubber gloves and eye protection while
performing the following procedure:
O Dilute 3A cup (177 ml) liquid chlorine bleach
with 1 gallon (3.8 L) of warm/hot water.
Use this solution to wipe down all surfaces of
the gasket to remove the deposits that are causing
any odor. (Be sure to fold back the lip of the gasket
to get under the edge where residue can build up.)
Wipe the gasket with a dry cloth.
O Leave the door open to allow the gasket to dry
completely.
Do not use undiluted bleach as this will damage the
gasket. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for
proper use of bleach. If the gasket cannot be cleaned
properly, it should be replaced.
Read these instructions carefully before
beginning the TUB CLEAN+ cycle.
Open the door and remove any clothing in
the wash drum.
Open the dispenser drawer.

Some powder or tablet tub cleaners which
are manufactured for this purpose can be

Add liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach
compartment of the drawer.
(NOTE : Do not exceed the maximum fill
line and do not pour undiluted liquid bleach
directly into the wash drum.)
= If using powder cleaner
Remove the liquid detergent cup and
add powder cleaner to the main wash
compartment of the drawer.
