check for foreign objects.

Mix a dilute solution containing ¾ cup (177 mL) of liquid chlorine bleach and 1 gal. (3.8
L) of warm tap water.
b)
Wipe the seal/bellow area with the dilute solution using a damp cloth.
c)
Let stand 5 minutes.
d)
Wipe down area thoroughly with a dry cloth and let the washer interior air dry with the
door open.
IMPORTANT:
•
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning for prolonged periods.

PRESERVING THE TOP COVER AND THE FRONT FRAME
Do not place any heavy or sharp objects or a detergent box on the washer. Keep them on the purchased
pedestal or in a separate storage box.
The object may scratch or damage the top cover or fall off the washer.
Since the entire washer has a high-gloss fi nish, the surface can be scratched or damaged. Avoid
scratching or damaging the surface when using the washer.
