Care & Cleaning
Remove items from the washer as soon as the
•
cycle ends. Excess wrinkling, color transfer, and
odors may develop in items left in the washer.
If there are no small children or pets present,
•
you may leave the door ajar when the washer is
not in use.
Leave the dispenser drawer open slightly at the
•
end of the wash day.
Dry around the washer door opening, fl exible
•
gasket, and door glass. These areas should
always be clean to ensure a water tight seal.
When extremely soiled items have been
•
washed, a dirty residue may remain on the
drum. Remove this by wiping the drum with a
nonabrasive household cleanser. Rinse thor-
oughly with water.
Periodically, wipe dry the folds in the bottom
•
of the fl exible gasket to remove lint and other
debris.
NOTE
Detergent and fabric softener may build up in the
dispenser drawer. Residue should be removed
once or twice a month.
