Care & Cleanin9
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 followed with an
appliance wax, if desired.
Lint Filter - it is self-cleaning and requires no
maintenance. The filter is located under the agitator
on the bottom of the
washtub. During the
wash and rinse
portion of the cycle,
lint is collected on
the filter. Then during
the spin and drain
the filter is cleaned
automatically.

1. Pull the dispenser off of the top of the agitator.
2. Soak for one hour in sink or container in hot

Interior - hard water deposits may be removed, if
needed, using a recommended cleaner labeled
washer safe.
The interior of the washer should be cleaned
periodically 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.
2. Add 1/4 cup of detergent to the tub.
3. Run the washer through a complete cycle using
hot water.
4. Repeat the process if necessary.
Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet
hoses.
Advance the cycle control knob to Spin and lower
the drain hose to eliminate any water that may be in
the drain hose.
Disconnect the washer from the electrical supply
and leave the washer lid open to let air circulate
inside the tub.
