WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read and follow this entire owner's
manual, including the Important Safety Instructions.
• Unplug the washer before cleaning to avoid the risk of electric shock. Failure to follow this warning can
cause serious injury, fire, electric shock, or death.
• Do not use volatile substances (benzene, paint thinner, alcohol, acetone, etc.) or detergents with strong
chemical components when cleaning the washer. Doing so may cause discoloration or damage to the
machine, or may cause a fire.
NOTE
• Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents to clean the washer. They will damage the finish.

Regular Cleaning

Care After Wash
After the cycle is finished, wipe the door and the
inside of the door seal to remove any moisture.
• Leave the door open to dry the drum interior.
• Wipe the body of the washer with a dry cloth to
remove any moisture.
Cleaning the Exterior
Proper care of your washer can extend its life.
Door:
Wash with a damp cloth on the outside and inside
and then dry with a soft cloth.
Exterior:
• Immediately wipe off any spills.
• Wipe with a damp cloth.
• Do not touch the surface or the display with sharp
objects.
Care and Cleaning of the Interior
• Use a towel or soft cloth to wipe around the washer
door opening and door glass.
• Always remove items from the washer as soon as
the cycle is complete. Leaving damp items in the
washer can cause wrinkling, color transfer, and
odor.
• Run the Tub Clean cycle once a month, or more
often if needed, to remove detergent buildup and
other residue.
Tub Clean Cycle
• Some environmental and usage conditions can
cause a residue to build up in the drum over time
and can lead to a mildewy or musty smell. Periodic
use of this cycle helps to prevent mildew or a musty
smell. Run the Tub Clean cycle once a month, or
more often under heavy use conditions or if odor is
present.
