WASHER/DRYER CARE

Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer/Dryer
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/dryer which, in turn, may result in undesirable
odor.
2. Use warm or hot water washes 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/dryer door slightly ajar between
uses to help dry out the washer/dryer and avoid the
buildup of odor-causing residue.
4. Periodically clean residue from all interior surfaces of the
window. For better care, wipe the entire inside of the door
with a damp cloth.
Cleaning Your Front Loading Washer/Dryer
Read these instructions completely before beginning the
routine cleaning processes recommended below. This
washer/dryer maintenance procedure should be performed,
at a minimum, once per month or every 30 wash cycles,
whichever occurs sooner, to control the rate at which soils
and detergent may otherwise accumulate in your washer/
dryer.
Cleaning the Door Seal
1. Open the washer/dryer door and remove any clothing or
items from the washer/dryer.
2. Inspect the seal between the door opening and the drum
for stained areas or soil buildup. Pull back the seal to
inspect all areas under the seal and to check for foreign
objects or lint.
3. If stained areas or soil buildup are found, wipe down these
areas of the seal using the following two procedures:
When the cycle is complete, gently pull back the rubber
door seal and clean the entire surface with the textured
side of an affresh Machine Cleaning Wipe.

dispenser container housing to remove it from the washer/
dryer cabinet, then rinse the two dispensers thoroughly with

Cleaning the Outside of the Washer/Dryer
