Maintenance
Turn off the water faucets after final use.
This will shut off the water supply to your washer and prevent the unlikely possibility of
damage from escaping water. Leave the lid open to allow the inside of your 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.
Cleaning the detergent, bleach, softener compartments
You may find laundry product residue leftover in your compartments. To remove residue,
wipe with a damp cloth and towel dry. Do not attempt to remove the compartments or
trims for cleaning. The compartments and trims are not removable.

Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from hoses and internal components
before storage.
