CLEANING THE WASHER
Proper Use of Detergent
Using too much detergent is a common cause of laundry problems. Today’s detergents are formulated to be
e
ff
ective without visible sudsing. Be sure to carefully read and follow manufacturer’s recommendations for how much
detergent to use in your wash. You can use less detergent if you have soft water, a smaller load, or a lightly soiled
load.
NOTE:
Use only low-sudsing, high-e
ffi
ciency detergent. These detergents can be identi
fi
ed by the HE logo.
Lid:
Wash with a damp cloth on the outside and inside
and then dry with a soft cloth.
Exterior:
Immediately wipe o
ff
any spills. Wipe with a
damp cloth. Do not touch the surface or the display with
sharp objects.
Moving and Storage:
Contact a service technician to
remove water from the drain pump and hoses. Reinstall
the foam tub block to protect the washer from damage
while moving. Do not store the washer where it will be
exposed to outdoor weather conditions.
Long Vacations:
Be sure the water supply is shut o
ff
at
the faucets. Follow the instructions if the washer will be
exposed to freezing temperatures.
Dispenser Drawer:
Detergent and fabric softener may
build up in the dispenser drawer. Remove the drawer
and inserts and check for buildup once or twice a
month.
Remove the drawer by pulling it straight out until it
stops. Lift up on the front of the drawer and pull it
completely out.
Remove the inserts from the two compartments.
Rinse the inserts and the drawer with warm water
to remove buildup from laundry products.
To clean the drawer opening, use a small, non-
metal brush to clean the recess. Remove all residue
from the upper and lower parts of the recess.
Return the inserts to the proper compartments
and replace the drawer. Set the drawer into the
opening at an angle as shown above, then lower it
and slide it into place.
