CLEANING THE DOOR SEAL/BELLOW
1.
Open the washer door and remove any clothing or items from the washer.
2.
Inspect the gray colored seal/bellow between the door
opening and the basket for stained areas. Pull back the
seal/bellow to inspect all areas under the seal/bellow and to
check for foreign objects.
3.
If stained areas are found, wipe down these areas of the seal/bellow, using the procedure
that follows.
a)
Mix a dilute solution, using 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 door
open.
IMPORTANT:
•
Wear rubber gloves when cleaning for prolonged periods.
•
Refer to the bleach manufacturer’s instructions for proper use.
PRESERVING THE TOP COVER AND THE FRONT FRAME
Do not place any heavy or sharp objects or a detergent box on the washing machine. Keep them on the
purchased pedestal or in a separate storage box. This may scratch or damage the top cover of the washing
machine.
Since the entire washing machine has a high-gloss finish, the surface can be scratched or damaged.
Therefore, avoid scratching or damaging the surface when using the washing machine.
