M aintenance
■ Cleaning the Dispenser
• The dispenser should be cleaned periodically to remove buildup from detergent and
other laundry products.
1
Pull out the dispenser
drawer until it stops.
Press the button in the
center of the drawer and
pull to remove the drawer.
• Run warm water and a soft brush or cloth over the drawer, liquid detergent box and inserts
to remove any excess laundry additives.
• Clean the drawer opening using water and a small brush.
• Follow the illustrations in reverse order to replace the parts to their proper location.
NOTE: Do not use any cleaning substance on the drawer opening other than water because it
will drain into the tub.
If this should happen, set the washer for a rinse and spin cycle to remove any
cleaning substance from the washer before doing a load of laundry.
■ The washing drum
• If you live in a hard water area, lime scale can continuously builds up in places where it
cannot be seen and it is not easily removed from the drum.
Over time the build-up of scale clogs appliances, and if it is not kept in check, these
will eventually have to be replaced.
• Although the washing drum is made of Stainless steel, specks of rust can be caused
by small metal articles (paper clips, safety pins, etc.) which have been left in the drum.
• The washing drum should be cleaned from time to time.
• If you use descaling agents, dyes, or bleaches, make sure they are suitable for
washing machine use.
• Descaler could contain components that can damage part of your washing machine.
• Remove the spots with a stainless steel cleaning agent.
• Never use steel wool.

Remove the inserts from the drawer, and clean them with
warm water and a soft cloth or brush to remove any
residue or buildup.
Wipe out the inside of the drawer opening with a damp cloth.
Reassemble the drawer and reinstall in the drawer opening.
NOTE: Do not use anything other than water to clean the
drawer, inserts, and drawer opening. If any sort of household
cleaner drains into the interior of the washer, run a
RINSE+SPIN cycle before washing clothes.
