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.

Interior - hard water deposits may be removed, if

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.

Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from
hoses and internal components before storage. Prepare
the washer for storage as follows:
o 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
[loses.
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
tem-
peratures,allow time for the washer to thaw out
priorto use.
