Turn off the water faucets after finishing the
day's washing. This will shut off the water supply to
the washer and prevent the unlikely possibility of damage
from escaping water.
Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach or other
spills as they occur.

LEANING THE
Clean the interior of the washer periodically to
remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew or bacteria
residue that may remain in the washer as a result of
washing clothes. We recommend taking the
following steps every 60 to 120 days to clean and
freshen your washer interior. The frequency with
which the washer should be cleaned and freshened
depends on factors such as usage, the amount of
dirt, soil or bacteria being run through your washer,
or the use of cold water. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in unsatisfactory conditions,
including unpleasant odor and/or permanent stains
on the washer or washload.
