WASHER MAINTENANCE
Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of
hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if
bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement
on the label with a permanent marker.
NOTE:
This washer does not include inlet hoses. See the
“Installation Instructions” for more information.

Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer
Clean and Performing at its Best
1.
Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the
HE detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding the
amount of HE detergent to use. Never use more than the
recommended amount because that may increase the rate
at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside your
washer, which in turn may result in undesirable odor.
2.
Use warm and hot wash water settings sometimes (not
exclusively cold water washes), because they do a better
job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent
accumulate.
3.
Always leave the washer lid open between uses to help dry
out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-causing
residue.
Cleaning Your Top Loading Washer
Read these instructions completely before beginning the
routine cleaning processes recommended below. This Washer
Maintenance Procedure should be performed, at a minimum,

sooner, to control the rate at which soils and detergent may
otherwise accumulate in your washer.

During this cycle, there will be some agitation and spinning
to increase the removal of soils.
After this cycle is complete, leave the lid open to allow
for better ventilation and drying of the washer interior.
Cleaning the Dispensers
After a period of using your washer, you may find some residue
buildup in the washer’s dispensers. To remove residue from
the dispensers, wipe them with a damp cloth and towel dry.
Do not attempt to remove the dispensers or trim for cleaning.
The dispensers and trim are not removable. If your model has
a dispenser drawer, however, remove the drawer and clean it
before or after you run the Clean Washer cycle. Use an all-
purpose surface cleaner, if needed.
Cleaning the Outside of the Washer
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe away any spills. Use
only mild soaps or cleaners when cleaning external washer
surfaces.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid damaging the washer’s finish, do not
use abrasive products.
