Care and Cleaning

Turn off the water faucets after finishing the day’s

washing. This will shut off the water supply to the

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 and glass

cleaner. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning

pads.

Cabinet – clean with soap and water followed with an

appliance wax, if desired.

Lint Filter – it is self-cleaning and requires no mainte-

nance. The filter is located under the agitator on the

bottom of the washtub.

During the wash and rinse

portion of the cycle, lint is

collected on the filter. Then

during the spin and drain

the filter is cleaned auto-

matically.

Fabric Softener Dispenser

If it is necessary to clean the dispenser:

1. Pull the dispenser off of the top of the agitator.

2. Soak for one hour in sink or container in hot

water and dishwashing liquid.

3. Hold hands over top and bottom of dispenser and

shake to loosen buildup.

4. Rinse with clean, hot water.

5. Repeat process if necessary.

6. Replace dispenser on agitator.

Do not use dishwashing liquid

inside the washer. Oversudsing can

occur.

Storing the Washer

Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from

hoses and internal components before storage. Prepare

the washer for storage as follows:

• Select Regular, 12 minutes, and add one cup of chlo-

rine bleach OR white vinegar to a full load of water

without clothes. Run the washer through a complete

cycle. (Do not mix bleach and vinegar in the same

wash. Hazardous fumes can form.)

•Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet

hoses.

• Advance the cycle control knob to Spin and lower

the drain hose to eliminate any water that may be in

the drain hose.

• Disconnect the washer from the electrical supply and

leave the washer lid open to let air circulate inside

the tub.

Interior – hard water deposits may be removed, if

needed, using a recommended cleaner labeled wash-

er safe.

The interior of the washer should be cleaned periodi-

cally to remove dirt, soil, odor 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.

To clean and freshen the washer interior:

1. Add a measured amount of chlorine bleach to the

bleach dispenser, following package directions.

2. Add 1/4 cup of detergent to the tub.

3. Run the washer through a complete cycle using

hot water.

4. Repeat the process if necessary.
