REGULAR CLEANING

wWARNING:
• Unplug the washer before cleaning to avoid the risk of electric shock. Failure to follow this
warning can cause serious injury, fire, electrical shock, or death.
• Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents to clean the washer.
They will damage the finish.
Cleaning the Exterior
Proper care of your washer can extend its life.
The outside of the machine can be cleaned
with warm water and a mild, nonabrasive
household detergent.
Immediately wipe off any spills with a soft,
damp cloth.
IMPORTANT: Do not use methylated spirits,
solvents, or similar products.
Never use steel wool or abrasive cleansers;
they can damage the surface.
Care and Cleaning of the Interior
Use a towel or soft cloth to wipe around the
washer lid opening, and lid glass.
Always remove items from the washer as soon
as the cycle is completed. Leaving damp
items in the washer can cause wrinkling, color
transfer, and odor.
This washer has a special cycle, TUB CLEAN,
to remove inside buildup of detergent residue
which can occur in the wash tub or drum and
lead to mildew or musty smell.
Run the TUB CLEAN cycle monthly to remove
detergent buildup and other residue.
