CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
Turn off the water faucets after fi nishing the day’s washing.
This will shut off the water supply to your Washer and prevent the unlikely possibility of damage from
escaping water. Leave the door open to allow the inside of your Washer to dry out.
Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach or other spills as they occur.
Clean the following as recommended:
Control Panel – Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads. Do not spray
cleaners directly on the panel.
Cabinet – Clean with soap and water.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
Clean the interior of your Washer periodically to remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew, or bacterial
residue that may remain in your Washer as a result of washing clothes.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in unpleasant conditions, including odors and/or permanent
stains on your Washer or laundry.
Hard water deposits may be removed, if needed. Use a cleaner labeled “Washer safe”.
CLEANING THE DISPENSERS
The Automatic Dispenser may need to be cleaned periodically due to laundry additive buildup.
1. Press the release lever on the inside of the dispenser and pull out.
2. Remove the Siphon Cap from the fabric softener and bleach
compartments.
3. Wash all of the parts under running water.
4. Clean the dispenser recess with a soft brush.
5. Reinsert the Siphon Cap, and push it fi rmly into place.
6. Push the dispenser back into place.
7. Run a Rinse & Spin cycle without any load in your Washer.
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.
