WASHER MAINTENANCE

WATER INLET HOSES

Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of
hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if
bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of
replacement on the label with a permanent marker.
NOTE: This washer does not include inlet hoses. See
the "Installation Instructions" for more information.

WASHER CARE

Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean
and Performing at its Best
1. Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the
HE detergent manufacturer's instructions regarding the
amount of HE detergent to use. Never use more than the
recommended amount because that may increase the rate
at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside your
washer, which in turn may result in undesirable odor.
2. Use warm and hot wash water settings sometimes (not
exclusively cold water washes), because they do a better
job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent
accumulate.
3. Always leave the washer lid open between uses to help dry
out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-causing
residue.

routine cleaning processes recommended below. This Washer
Maintenance Procedure should be performed, at a minimum,
once per month or every 30 wash cycles, whichever occurs
sooner, to control the rate at which soils and detergent may
otherwise accumulate in your washer.

Cleaning the Dispensers
After a period of using your washer, you may find some
residue buildup in the washer's dispensers. To remove residue
from the dispensers, wipe them with a damp cloth and towel
dry. Do not attempt to remove the dispensers or trim for
cleaning. The dispensers and trim are not removable. If your
model has a dispenser drawer, however, remove the drawer
and clean it before or after you run the Clean Washer cycle.
Use an all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed.

use abrasive products.
