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 possibility of
damage from escaping water.
Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach or
other spills as they occur.
Clean the following as recommended:
Control Panel – Clean with a soft, damp cloth or
glass cleaner. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning
pads.
Cabinet – Clean with soap and water followed with
an appliance wax, if desired.
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
taking the following steps every 60 to 120 days to clean
and freshen your washer interior. The frequency with
which the washer should be cleaned and freshened
depends on factors 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.
To clean and freshen the washer interior:
1. Make a solution of one cup chlorine bleach and two
cups warm water. Be careful not to spill or splash
the bleach solution.
2. Wipe the lower portion of gray door seal with
bleach solution and soft cloth.
3. Fill the bleach dispenser with chlorine bleach.
4. Run the washer through a complete cycle using hot
water.
5. Repeat the wash cycle if necessary.
Hard water deposits may be removed, if needed using a
recommended cleaner labeled clothes washer safe.

Tumbler – If the tumbler becomes stained by a crayon,
ink pen or other item inadvertently left in a garment, clean
the tumbler with an all purpose cleaner such as:
Fantastik , Soft Scrub
®
towels or rags to remove any excess stain or cleaning
substance.
Exhaust System Cleaning – While the lint filter will
catch most of the lint from the load, some will get
through and may build up in the ductwork. It is important
to completely inspect and clean all lint accumulation from
the interior of the ductwork annually to maintain drying
performance.The exhaust hood on the outside of the
home should be cleaned more frequently to ensure the
damper opens and closes freely.
Refer to the Installation Instructions for more details on
proper exhausting.
