Care and cleaning of the washer.
Separate for cleaning
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
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.

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
