CLEANING THE WASHER
proper Use of Detergent
Using too much detergent is a common
cause of laundry problems. Today's
detergents are formulated to be effective
without visible sudsing. Be sure to
carefully read and follow manufacturer's
recommendations for how much
detergent to use in your wash.
You can use less detergent if you have
soft water, a smaller load, or a lightly
soiled load.
NOTE: Use only low-sudsing, high-
efficiency detergent such as
Tide@ HE.
Care and Cleaning of the washer
Lid: Wash with a damp cloth on the outside and inside and dry with a soft
cloth.
Exterior: Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth. Do not
touch the surface or the display with sharp objects.
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 if weather will be below freezing.
Dispenser Drawer: Detergent and fabric softener may build up in the
dispenser drawer. Residue should be removed once or twice a month.
