Care and Cleaning
BIffBNIIIIIIlHH
Turn off the water faucets after finishing the day’s wash
ing. This will shut off the water supply to the washer
and prevent the unlikely possibility of damage from
escaping water.
Use a soft doth to wipe up all detergent, bleach or other
spills as they occur.
Clean the following as recommended:
Control Panel - clean with a soft, damp cloth and glass
cleaner. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning
pads.
Cabinet - clean with soap and water followed with an
appliance wax, if desired.
Storing the Washer
Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from
hoses and internal components before storage. Prepare
the washer for storage as follows:
• Select the NORMAL cycle for regular fabrics and add
one cup of chlorine bleach or white vinegar to a full
load of water without clothes. Run the washer
through a complete cycle.
Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet
hoses.
