(ARE AND CLEANING
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 possibilit 7
of damage from escaping water. Leave the door open
to allow the inside of the washer to dry out.
Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach or
other spills as they occur.
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 taldng the following
steps every 60 to 120 days to clean and freshen your
washer interior. The frequency with which the wash-
er should be cleaned and freshened depends on fac-
tors 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.
Clean the following as recommended:
Control Panel - Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do
not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads. Do not
spray cleaners directly on the panel.
Cabinet - Clean with soap and water.

clean and freshen the washer interior:
Make a solution of one cup chlorine bleach and two
cups warm water. Be careful not to spill or splash
the bleach solution.
Wipe the lower portion of gray door seal with
bleach solution and soft cloth.
Fill the bleach dispenser with chlorine bleach.
Run the washer through a complete cycle using hot
water.
Repeat the wash cycle if necessary.
Hard water deposits may be removed, if needed using
a recommended cleaner labeled clothes washer safe.
The dispenser may need to be cleaned periodically due
to laundry additive build-up. For easy clean-up of the
dispenser, grasp the removable two-compartment con-
tainer (for bleach and softener) as shown in illustration
#1. As you begin to lift the two-compartment con-
tainer, tilt slightly inward, according to illustration #2
and remove from the main dispenser.
Once the two-compartment container is removed
from the main dispenser, tal<e it to a sink. Follow illus-
tration #3 to remove the cap covering the siphon tube
for the bleach and softener. Run warm water and a soft
brush or cloth over the two parts to remove any
excess laundry additives.
Clean the main dispenser area using water and a soft
cloth. Once the main dispenser is clean, follow the
illustrations in reverse order to replace the two com-
partment container to its original location.

NOTE: Do not use any cleaning substance but water in the main dispenser. It is possible for cleaning substances to
drain into the tub. If this should happen, set the washer for a rinse and spin cycle to remove any cleaning substance from
the washer before doing a load of laundry.
