Regular Cleaning

Care after Wash
• Always remove items from the washer as soon
as the cycle is complete. Leaving damp items in
the washer can cause wrinkling, color transfer,
and odor.
• After the cycle is finished, wipe the lid and the
inside of the lid seal to remove any moisture.
- Wipe the body of the washer with a dry cloth to
remove any moisture.
- Leave the lid open to dry the tub interior.
NOTE
• Make sure children and pets do not climb into
the tub. Engage the Control Lock feature if
needed to prevent children from accidentally
starting a wash cycle.
Cleaning the Exterior
Proper care of your washer can extend its life.
Lid:
• Wash with a damp cloth on the outside and
inside and then dry with a soft cloth.
Exterior:
• Immediately wipe off any spills.
• Wipe with a damp cloth.

Periodic Maintenance

Cleaning the Tub
Over time, residue may build up in the tub, leading
to mildew or a musty odor. Run the Tub Clean
cycle monthly to remove residue and prevent
odor.
NOTE
• Make sure to run the Tub Clean cycle only when
the tub is empty. Never load laundry while using
this cycle. The laundry may be damaged or
contaminated with cleaning products.
• Run the cycle more often under heavy use
conditions or if odor is already present.
• If mildew or musty smell already exists, run this
cycle once a week for three consecutive weeks.
