Care and cleaning

WARNING
- Electrical Shock Hazard
Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric shock only during servicing.
Service personnel – DO NOT contact the following parts while the appliance is energized: Drive Motor, Lid Lock,
Water Valves, Drain Pump and Recirculation Pump.
Exterior of the Washer
Immediately wipe off any spills with a damp cloth.
Interior of the Washer
Leave the lid open after washing to allow moisture to
evaporate. If you want to clean the basket, use a clean
soft cloth dampened with liquid detergent; then rinse.
(Do not use harsh or gritty cleaners.)
Cleaning the Fabric Softener Dispenser (on some models)
1
Remove the dispenser from the top of the agitator.
2
Separate the dispenser cup from the cover by grasping the top and pushing down on the
inside of the cup with your fingers. Dispenser cup will pop free from the cover.
3
To clean the dispenser, soak both the dispenser cup and the dispenser cover in the following
solution:
1 US gallon (3.8 liters) warm water
1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy-duty liquid detergent
1 cup (240 ml) bleach
4 If necessary, loosen buildup with a clean, soft cloth after soaking. Do not use a stiff brush; you
may roughen the surface of the dispenser.
5
Rinse and reassemble dispenser. Place dispenser back on the agitator.
Water Supply Hoses
Hoses connecting washer to faucet should be replaced
every 5 years.
Moving and Storage
Ask the service technician to remove water from drain
pump and hoses. Do not store the washer where it will
be exposed to the weather.
Long Vacations
Be sure water supply is shut off at faucets. Drain all
water from hoses and water filter pump area if weather
will be below freezing.
