WARNING:
• Unplug the washer before cleaning to avoid the risk of electric shock. Failure to follow this warning
can cause serious injury, fire, electrical shock, or death.
• Never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents to clean the washer.
They will damage the finish.
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 lid opening, and lid glass.
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.
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.
Run the TUB CLEAN cycle monthly to remove
detergent buildup and other residue.
Read these instructions carefully before
beginning the TUB CLEAN cycle.
Open the lid and remove any clothing in the
wash drum.
Open the dispenser drawer.
Add liquid chlorine bleach or tub cleaner.
Some powdered or tablet tub cleaners which
are manufactured for this purpose can be
used.
(NOTE: Do not add any laundry detergent or
fabric softener to the drawer when using TUB
CLEAN.)
- If using powder cleaner
Remove the liquid detergent cup and add
powder cleaner to the main wash
compartment of the drawer.
- If using tablet cleaner
Add tablet cleaner to the wash drum
directly.
(NOTE: Do not add tablet cleaner to the
drawer.)
Close the drawer and washer lid.
Select TUB CLEAN and press START/PAUSE.
NOTE : It is recommended that TUB CLEAN
should be repeated monthly.
If mildew or smell already exists, run TUB CLEAN
for 3 consecutive weeks.
After TUB CLEAN is complete or when the
washer is not used, leave the washer lid open for
better ventilation and drying inside of the washer.
