Cleaning the 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.

IMPORTANT:
Do not use solvents, cleaning alcohols,
or similar products. Never use steel wool or abrasive
cleaners because 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 complete. Leaving damp items in the washer can
cause wrinkling, color transfer, and odor. Run the CLEAN
WASHER cycle once a month, or more often if needed,
to remove detergent buildup and other residue.

Remove any clothing in the drum.
Open the dispenser drawer.

NOTE:
v
Do not add tablet cleaner to the dispenser drawer.
v
Do not add any laundry detergent or fabric softener to
the drawer when using CLEAN WASHER.
4
Turn ON the washer and press the CLEAN WASHER
button and the LED will blink. Selecting any other
cycle after CLEAN WASHER has been selected will
cause the CLEAN WASHER cycle to be cancelled.
5
After the cycle ends, open the door and allow the
drum interior to dry completely.
NOTE:
Run the CLEAN WASHER cycle once a month.
If a mildewy or musty smell is present, run the CLEAN
WASHER cycle once a week for three consecutive weeks.
Door Seal and Glass Cleaning
Due to the location and nature of the door seal, some
detergent and soil residue may build up on the door
glass and seal. Periodic cleaning with a bleach solution
can help remove buildup and stains, and can help
sanitize the seal to prevent odors.
NOTE:
Wear rubber gloves and eye protection while
performing the following procedure:
Dilute ¾ cup (177 ml) liquid chlorine bleach in 1
gallon (3.8 L) of warm/hot water.
Use this solution to wipe down
all surfaces of the gasket and
door glass to remove any
deposits. Be sure to fold back
the lip of the gasket to get
under the inner edge where
residue can build up.
3
Dry the gasket and glass with a dry cloth.
4
To allow the gasket to dry completely, secure the
door slightly ajar with the door magnet. This will
promote air circulation and allow the interior of the
machine to dry. To use this feature, close the door
just until it contacts the door magnet.
NOTE:
v
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper use of
bleach.
v
To avoid damaging the gasket, NEVER use undiluted
bleach to clean the gasket.
Removing Mineral Buildup
If you live in an area with hard water, mineral scale can
form on internal components of the washer. Use of a
water softener is recommended in areas with hard water.
Use a descaler, such as Washer Magic®, to remove
visible mineral buildup. After descaling, always run the
CLEAN WASHER cycle before washing clothing. Do NOT
use steel wool or abrasive cleaners.
