Removing the Stain in Door Seal
NOTE: Wear rubber gloves and eye protection while
performing the following procedure:
Dilute 3/4 cup (177 ml) liquid chlorine bleach with
1 gallon (3.8 L) of warm/hot water.
Use this solution to wipe down all surfaces of the
gasket to remove the deposits that are causing any
odor. (Be sure to fold back the lip of the gasket to get
under the edge where residue can build up.)
Wipe the gasket with a dry cloth.
Leave the door open to allow the gasket to dry
completely.

Do not use undiluted bleach as this will damage the
gasket.Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper
use of bleach.
If the gasket cannot be cleaned properly, it should be
replaced.
Removing Lime Buildup
If you live in an area with hard water, lime scale
can form on internal components of the washer.
Use of a water softener is recommended in areas
with hard water. If a descaler is used, make sure
that it is suitable for use in a washer, and run the
TUB CLEAN cycle before washing clothing.
Lime scale and other spots may be removed
from the stainless steel drum using a stainless
steel cleaner. Do NOT use steel wool or abrasive
cleansers; they can damage the surface.
Storing the Washer
If the washer will not be used for an extended period of
time and is in an area that could be exposed to freezing
temperatures:
Turn off water supply tap.
Disconnect hoses from water supply and drain
water from hoses.
Plug the power cord into a properly grounded
electrical outlet.
Add 1 gallon of nontoxic recreational vehicle (RV)
antifreeze to the empty wash drum. Close door.
Select the spin cycle and let washer spin
for 1 minute to drain out all the water.
NOTE: Not all of the RV antifreeze will be expelled.
Unplug the power cord, dry the drum interior with a
soft cloth, and close the door.
Remove the inserts from the dispenser. Drain any
water in compartments and dry the compartments.
Store the washer in an upright position.
To remove the antifreeze from the washer after
storage, run washer through a complete cycle
using detergent. Do not add laundry!
