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.
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.
The Automatic Dispenser may need to be cleaned
periodically due to laundry additive buildup.
1. Press the release lever on the inside of the
dispenser and pull out.
2. Remove the cups from the fabric softener and
bleach compartments.
3.Wash all of the parts under running water.
4. Clean the dispenser recess with a soft brush.
5. Reinsert the cups, pushing them firmly into
place.

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.
