CARE AND
CLEANING
Pump Filter
Clean EVERY MONTH to remove any items that may have been caught in
the filter or housing.
Due to the nature of the front-load washer, it is sometimes possible for small
articles to pass to the pump. The washer has a filter to capture lost items so
they are not dumped to the drain. To retrieve lost items, clean out the pump
filter.
1
Open the door on the bottom right of the front of the unit.
2
Twist the small white cap counterclockwise a quarter turn and unhook the
small rubber hose. Pull the hose out of the hole and remove the white drain
hose plug above a small pan to capture any water that may drain. Drain the
excess water. Replace.
3
Unscrew the pump filter. Rinse off any debris. Replace.
4
Close the access door.
Exterior
Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth. Wipe or dust spills or washing compounds with a damp cloth.
Washer control panel and finishes may be damaged by some laundry pretreatment and stain remover products.
Apply these products away from the washer. The fabric may then be washed and dried normally. Damage to your
washer caused by these products is not covered by your warranty. Do not hit surface with sharp objects.
Interior
Dry around the washer door opening, flexible gasket (including attached hoses) and door glass. These areas should
always be clean to ensure a watertight seal.
It is recommended to rinse the washer at least once per month with 1 cup of bleach (or other commercially available
product manufactured for this purpose, such as Tide
®
Washing Machine Cleaner) poured directly into the basket
without clothes and using the
Tub Clean
Cycle.
