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

a soft, damp
cloth and glass

Interior
- hard
water
deposits
may
be removed,
if
needed,
using
a recommended

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
for a normal
load.
2. Add
1/4
cup of detergent
to the tub.
3. Run the washer
through
a complete
cycle
using
hot water
and the Super
water
level
setting.
4. Repeat
the process
if necessary.
Washers
can be damaged
if water
is not removed
from
hoses
and internal
components
before
storage.
Prepare
the washer
for storage
as follows:
o Select
NORMAL

add
one cup of bleach
OR white
