Interior cleaning
If you use a non-phosphate laundry detergent, you may need to clean buildup
and oils from the inside of the washer periodically, especially if you live in an
area with hard water. To remove buildup, run the washer through a complete
hot water cycle (Heavy Stain or White setting) with no clothes, detergent or
other laundry aids added. If desired, add 2 cups of water conditioner or de-
liming agent to the detergent dispenser.
General care of the machine
Never use solvents or abrasives to clean the external parts of the washer/dryer.
Water supply should be turned off when not in use.
Unplug the machine if you will be gone for a period of time or the machine
will not be used.
Clean the detergent drawer periodically (see Cleaning Dispenser, pg. 13).
Always unplug the machine during cleaning or maintenance.
Do not use too much detergent or other laundry additives, as excessive
amounts could over-suds and damage your washer/dryer.
Before moving the washer/dryer to a new location, reattach shipping bolts,
spacers and grommets that were removed during installation (see page 4).

Do not use dryer for clothes that have been cleaned with chemical solvents
or flammable cleaners. Dry only clothes that have been washed in water.
Do not use dryer for foam rubber or similar synthetic items. Do not use for
feather or down bedding.
Do not use fabric softener sheets. Use liquid fabric softener during the wash
cycle for best results for a complete
wash/dry cycle.
After you remove your laundry,
leave door open for a few minutes
to allow air to circulate inside the
tub and avoid odors.
