is not covered by your warranty. Do not hit surface with sharp objects.
Interior
Dry around the washer door opening, flexible gasket (including attached hoses) and door glass. These areas should always be
clean to ensure a watertight seal.
It is recommended to rinse the washer at least once per month with 1 cup of bleach (or other commercially available product
manufactured for this purpose, such as Tide
using the Tub Clean Cycle.
Pump Filter
Clean EVERY MONTH to remove any items that may have been caught in the filter
or housing.
Due to the nature of the front-load washer, it is sometimes possible for small articles
to pass to the pump. The washer has a filter to capture lost items so they are not
dumped to the drain. To retrieve lost items, clean out the pump filter.
