Before performing any maintenance on your washing machine, be sure to remove the electrical plug from its power
source.
The main body and control panel may be cleaned by wiping with a soft cloth soaked in water.
(Hard-to-remove dirt may be cleaned by wiping with a soft cloth soaked in a mind detergent.)
Caution: Never clean the body or control panel with benzine, thinner, cleanser, or other chemical cleaners. Use of such
chemicals can discolor or damage parts.

The dirt from clothes or wastewater on the wash/
spin basket will cause the smell or the problem of
water draining. Such dirt from the washing

in such case, please use "Tub Cleaning"
program once a month. Or in case the clothes
have been starched, please use the "Tub Clean-
ing" program to remove the dirt of the starch from
the basket.
