Cleaning Instructions
INSIDE
• Remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle ends. Excess wrin-
kling, color transfer, and odors may develop in items left in the washer.
• Dry the washer top, the area around the lid opening, and the un-
derside of the lid. These areas should always be dry before the lid is
closed.
• Before cleaning the washer interior, unplug the electrical power cord to
avoid electrical shock hazards.
• When extremely soiled items have been washed, a dirty residue may
remain on the tub. Remove this by wiping the tub with a nonabrasive
household cleanser. Rinse thoroughly with water.
• The agitator or tub may become stained from fabric dye. Clean these
parts with a nonabrasive household cleanser. This prevents dye transfer
to future loads.
FABRIC SOFTENER DISPENSER
• Remove the fabric softener dispenser by grasping the dispenser cap
and lifting upward.
• Rinse the cup with a combination of ¾ cup liquid chlorine bleach and
1 gallon hot tap water to remove any buildup. Large amounts of fabric
softener residue may indicate improper dilution or more frequent
cleaning is required. Rinse well with tap water.
• Use a small brush to clean the recesses. Remove all residue.
• Replace the dispenser cup assembly by pressing it fi rmly into the
agitator.
OUTSIDE
• When washing is completed, wipe top and sides of washer with a damp
cloth. Turn water faucets off to prevent pressure build-up in the hoses.
• Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. Never use harsh, gritty or
abrasive cleansers
• If the cabinet becomes stained, clean with diluted chlorine bleach (1
part bleach to 8 parts water). Rinse several times with clear water.
• Remove glue residue from tape or labels with a mixture of warm water
and mild detergent. Or, touch residue with the sticky side of tape.
• Before moving the washer, place a strip of cardboard or thin fi berboard
under the front leveling legs to prevent damage to the fl oor.
