REGULAR CLEANING

Cleaning the exterior

Turn off the water faucets after finishing the day's washing.
This will shut off the water supply to your Washer and prevent the
unlikely possibility of damage from escaping water. Leave the door
open to allow the inside of your Washer to dry out. Use a soft cloth
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. Do not use abrasive
powders or cleaning pads. Do not spray cleaners directly on the
panel.
Cabinet – Clean with soap and water.

Cleaning the interior

Clean the interior of your Washer periodically to remove any dirt,
soil, odor, mold, mildew, or bacterial residue that may remain in
your Washer as a result of washing clothes.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in unpleasant
conditions, including odors and/or permanent stains on your
Washer or laundry.
Hard water deposits may be removed, if needed. Use a cleaner
labeled "Washer safe".
Read these instructions carefully before beginning the
CLEAN WASHER cycle.
1. Open the door and remove any clothing in the wash drum.
2. 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 CLEAN WASHER.)
- 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 dispenser drawer.
- If using tablet cleaner
Add tablet cleaner to the wash drum directly. (NOTE: Do not
add tablet cleaner to the dispenser drawer.)
3. Close the drawer and washer door.
4. Select CLEAN WASHER and press START.
NOTE: It is recommended that CLEAN WASHER should be
repeated monthly. If mildew or musty smell already exists, run
CLEAN WASHER for 3 consecutive weeks. After CLEAN WASHER
is complete or when the washer is not used, leave the washer
door open for better ventilation and drying inside of the washer.
