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.
REGULAR CLEANING
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.
Read these instructions carefully before beginning the
TUB CLEAN cycle.
Open the door and remove any clothing in the wash
drum.
Open the dispenser drawer.
Add liquid chlorine bleach or tub cleaner.
Some powder 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 liquid chlorine bleach
Add liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment
of the drawer.
(NOTE : Do not exceed the maximum fill line and do
not pour undiluted liquid bleach directly into the wash
drum.)
- 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 door.
Select TUB CLEAN and press START.
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.
After TUB CLEAN is complete or when the washer is not used,
leave the washer door open for better ventilation and drying
inside of the washer.
