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 door opening, door seal, and door glass.
These areas should be kept clean to ensure a
watertight seal. Be sure to wipe under the inside
rubber seal to remove any moisture or soil.
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.
Run the TUB CLEAN cycle regularly to remove
detergent buildup and other residue.
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.
NOTE : It is recommended that TUB CLEAN
should be repeated monthly.
If mildew or musty smell already exists, run TUB
CLEAN for 3 consecutive weeks. Safely and
conveniently secure the door slightly ajar with
a magnetic door plunger. This will promote air
circulation and allow the interior of the machine to
dry.
