Care
& Cleaning
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.
Clean
the following
as recommended:
Control
Panel
- clean with
a soft, damp
cloth and
glass cleaner.
Do not use abrasive
powders
or cleaning
pads.
Cabinet
- clean with
soap and water.

and dishwashing
liquid.
3. Hold

Oversudsing
can occur.
Interior
- hard water
deposits
may be removed,
if
needed,
using
a recommended
cleaner
labeled
washer
safe.
The interior
of the washer
should
be cleaned
periodi-
cally to remove
dirt, soil, odor
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.
To clean
and freshen
the washer
interior:
1. Add
a measured
amount
of chlorine
bleach
to
the bleach
dispenser,
following
package
directions
for a normal
load.
2. Add
1/4 cup of detergent
to the tub.
3. Run the washer
through
a complete
cycle
using
hot water
and the Super
water
level
setting.
4. Repeat
the process
if necessary.
Storing
the
Washer
Washers
can be damaged
if water
is not removed
from
hoses
and internal
components
before
storage.
Prepare
the washer
for storage
as follows:
• Select NORMAL
on the REGULAR
cycle and add
one cup of bleach
OR white
vinegar
to a full load
of
water
without
clothes.
(Do not mix bleach
and vine-
gar in the same
wash.
Hazardous
fumes
can form.)
Run the washer
through
a complete
cycle.
• Turn the water
faucets
off and disconnect
the inlet
hoses.
Disconnect
the washer
from
the electrical
supply
and leave
the washer
lid open
to let air circulate
inside
the tub.
• If the washer
has been stored
in below-freezing
temperatures,
allow
time for the washer
to thaw
out
prior
to use.
• After storage,
select NORMAL
on the REGULAR
cycle and run the washer
