color transfer, and odors may develop in items left in the washer.
Before cleaning the washer interior, unplug the electricalpower cord to
avoid electrical shock hazards.
Dry around the washer door opening, flexible gasket, and door glass. These
areas should always be clean to ensure a water tight seal.
When extremely soiled items have been washed, a dirty residue may remain
on the drum. Remove this by wiping the drum with a nonabrasive household
cleanser. Rinse thoroughly with water.
The plastic drum vanes may become stained from fabric dye. Clean these
parts with a nonabrasive household cleanser. This prevents dye transfer to
future loads.

be removed once or twice a month.

the drawer out until it stops. (Figure 1)

accumulated powders and liquids. Large amounts of fabric softener residue
may indicate improper dilution or more frequent cleaning is required.

all residue from the upper and lower parts of the recess. (Figure 4)
