build-up of dirt in the door seal.
1
Wear rubber gloves and protective goggles.
2
Dilute 3/4 cup (177 ml) of liquid chlorine
bleach in 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water.
3
Soak a sponge or a soft cloth in this diluted
solution and wipe down all around the door
seal.
4
Wipe any moisture with a dry towel or cloth
after cleaning.
5
Leave the door open to allow the door seal
to dry completely.
CAUTION
• Cleaning the door seal with an undiluted
solution may cause malfunction of the
door seal and washing machine parts.

Cleaning the dispenser

1
The dispenser should be cleaned periodically
to remove buildup from detergent and other
laundry products.
2
Remove inserts from the drawer, and clean
them with warm water and a soft cloth or
brush to remove any residue or buildup.
Wipe out the inside of the drawer opening with
a damp cloth. Reassemble the drawer and
reinstall the drawer opening.
NOTE
• Do not use anything other than water to
clean the drawer, inserts, and drawer
opening.

Cleaning the drum

Using the washing machine in a humid space
for a long period of time may lead to a buildup
of black mold and germs in the air inside the
washer tub and affect your health. If you clean
the washer tub regularly on a monthly basis
Using the "Blood Bourne" (hot) cycle it will keep
the washer tub clean for hygienic use.
1
Add tub cleaner or lime scale remover into
the detergent dispenser drawer.
- Do not exceed the maximum detergent
limit line when you add it. Detergent may
remain in the washer tub after cleaning.
2
Run cycle.
NOTE
• Never load laundry while cleaning the tub.
The laundry may damage or become
contaminated. Make sure to clean the
washer tub when it is empty.
• Leave the door open after finishing the
laundry to keep the tub clean.
• Cleaning the tub can be repeated
monthly.
• Safely and conveniently secure the
door slightly ajar with a magnetic door
plunger. This will promote air circulation
and allow the interior of the
machine to dry.
