Care and Cleaning
WARNING
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 (on some models)
To clean the interior of the washer, select the Basket Clean
feature on the control panel. This Basket Clean cycle should
be performed, at a minimum, once per month. This cycle will
use more water, in addition to bleach, to control the rate at
which soils and detergents may accumulate in your washer.
NOTE: Read the instructions below completely before starting
the Basket Clean cycle.
1. Remove any garments or objects from the washer and
ensure the washer basket is empty.
2. Open the washer lid and pour one cup or 250 ml of liquid
bleach or other washing machine cleaner into the basket.
3. Close the lid and select the Basket Clean
cycle. Push the Start button.
4. When the Basket Clean cycle is working, the
display will show the estimated cycle time remaining. Do not
interrupt the cycle.
Interior of the Washer (on some models)
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.
16
- Electrical Shock Hazard
Basket Clean may be interrupted by pressing the Start button
in between cycles. A power outage in the house might also
interrupt the cycle. When the power supply is back, the Basket
Clean cycle resumes where it had stopped. When interrupted,
be sure to run a complete Basket Clean cycle before using the
washer. If the Power button is pressed during Basket Clean,
the cycle will be lost.
IMPORTANT:
Run Basket Clean with 1 Cup (250 ml) of bleach once a month.
After the completion of a Basket Clean cycle, the interior of
your washer may have a bleach smell.
