care and cleaning - washer
exterior of the washer
Immediately wipe off any spills with a damp cloth.
interior of the washer
Leave the lid open after washing to allow moisture to evaporate. If you
want to clean the basket, use a clean soft cloth dampened with liquid
detergent; then rinse. (Do not use harsh or gritty cleaners.)
cleaning the fabric softener dispenser
(on some models)
Remove the dispenser from the top of
the agitator.
Separate the dispenser cup from the cover
by grasping the top and pushing down on
the inside of the cup with your fingers.
Dispenser cup will pop free from the cover.
To clean the dispenser, soak both the
dispenser cup and the dispenser cover in
the following solution:
• 1 US gallon (3.8 liters) warm water
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy-duty liquid
detergent
• 1 cup (240 ml) bleach
If necessary, loosen buildup with a clean, soft cloth after soaking. Do
not use a stiff brush; you may roughen the surface of the dispenser.
Rinse and reassemble dispenser. Place dispenser back on the agitator.
