(ARE
AND
CLEANING
Turn
off the water
faucets
after
finishing
the
day's washing.
This will shut off the water supply to
the clothes washer and prevent the unlikely possibilit 7
of damage from escaping water. Leave the door open
to allow the inside of the washer to dry out.
Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent,
bleach or
other spills as they occur.
CLEANING
THE
INTERIOR
Clean the interior
of the washer periodically
to
remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew or bacteria
residue that may remain in the washer as a result of
washing clothes. We recommend
taldng the following
steps every 60 to 120 days to clean and freshen your
washer interior. The frequency with which the wash-
er should be cleaned and freshened depends on fac-
tors such as usage, the amount of dirt, soil or bacteria
being run through your washer, or the use of cold
water. Failure to follow these instructions
may result
in unsatisfactory
conditions,
including unpleasant odor
and/or permanent
stains on the washer or washload.
Clean the following
as recommended:
Control
Panel - Clean with a soft, damp cloth.
Do
not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads. Do not
spray cleaners directly on the panel.
Cabinet
- Clean with soap and water.

clean and freshen
the washer
interior:
Make a solution of one cup chlorine bleach and two
cups warm water.
Be careful not to spill or splash
the bleach solution.
Wipe
the lower
portion
of gray door
seal with
bleach solution and soft cloth.
Fill the bleach dispenser with chlorine bleach.
Run the washer through a complete cycle using hot
water.
Repeat
the wash
cycle if necessary.
Hard water deposits may be removed, if needed using
a recommended
cleaner labeled clothes washer safe.
The dispenser may need to be cleaned periodically due
to laundry additive
build-up. For easy clean-up of the
dispenser, grasp the removable two-compartment
con-
tainer (for bleach and softener)
as shown in illustration
#1.
As you begin to lift the two-compartment
con-
tainer, tilt slightly inward, according to illustration
#2
and remove from the main dispenser.
Once
the two-compartment
container
is removed
from the main dispenser, tal<e it to a sink. Follow illus-
tration #3 to remove the cap covering the siphon tube
for the bleach and softener. Run warm water and a soft
brush or cloth over
the two
parts to remove any
excess laundry additives.
Clean the main dispenser area using water and a soft
cloth. Once
the main dispenser is clean, follow
the
illustrations
in reverse order to replace the two com-
partment
container to its original location.

NOTE:
Do not use any cleaning substance but water in the main dispenser. It is possible for cleaning substances to
drain into the tub. If this should happen, set the washer for a rinse and spin cycle to remove any cleaning substance from
the washer before doing a load of laundry.
