Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance can extend the working life of
this machine.
You MUST disconnect the power plug from the power outlet and close
both the hot and cold water valves before performing any
cleaning/maintenance to your Combo Washer/Dryer.

Cleaning the detergent dispenser

Never use solvent based, abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals or steel wool.
1. Remove the detergent dispenser from the unit by pressing
downward on the release tab (shown below) and gently sliding
the dispenser drawer outward.
2. Once the dispenser drawer is removed, you can remove the fabric
softener dispenser compartment by gently lifting upward.
3. Place drawer under warm tap water and dry with soft cloth.
4. Reinstall the fabric softener compartment and gently slide the
dispenser drawer back into the unit.

Cleaning the exterior of the unit

Never use solvent based, abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or steel wool to
clean your unit as they can damage the finish. The cabinet and door may be
cleaned with a mild, non-abrasive detergent and lukewarm water solution. Use a
soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft clean towel to prevent
water spotting.
During daily use it is recommended to wipe up any spills with dry soft cloth.

Cleaning the interior of the unit

Never use solvent based, abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or steel wool to
clean the internal drum. During daily use, use a soft cloth to wipe around the
door, opening, and rubber seal to remove any excess moisture and to maintain a
water tight seal.
To clean the interior of the unit, all clothes must be removed from the drum. For
liquid chlorine, add directly to the fabric softener section. For powder tub cleaner,
add directly to the main detergent section. Use only cleaners labeled as safe for
washing machines.
Select the cycle "Self Clean" and press "Start" to initiate the Self Clean cycle.
NOTE: It is recommended that you run the Self Clean cycle regularly to help
remove detergent buildup and other residue. Depending on how frequently the
machine is used, you may need to run the Self Clean cycle every month.
