Exterior
Proper care of your washer can extend its life.
The outside of the machine can be cleaned with warm water and a neutral, non-
abrasive household detergent.
Immediately wipe off any spills with a damp cloth.
Try not to damage the surface with sharp objects.
• IMPORTANT: Do not use methylated spirit, solvents or similar products.
Interior
Dry around the washer door opening, flexible gasket and door glass. These areas
should always be clean to ensure a water-tight seal.
Run washer through a complete cycle using hot water.
Repeat process if necessary.
Remove hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled as safe for washing
machines.
