CLEANING THE EXTERIOR

Turn off the water faucets after fi nishing 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.

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 cleaners labeled "Washer safe".

STORING YOUR WASHER

Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from hoses and internal components before storage.
Prepare your Washer for storage as follows:
• Select the Quick Wash cycle and add bleach to the automatic dispenser. Run your Washer through the
cycle without a load.
• Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet hoses.
• Unplug your Washer from the electrical outlet and leave your Washer door open to let air circulate inside
the tumbler.
• If your Washer has been stored in below–freezing temperatures, allow time for any leftover water in your
Washer to thaw out before use.

PRESERVING THE TOP COVER AND THE FRONT FRAME

Do not place any heavy or sharp objects or a detergent box on the washing machine. They can scratch or
damage the top cover of the unit.
Since the entire washing machine has a high-gloss fi nish, the surface can be scratched or damaged.
Avoid scratching or damaging the surface when using the washing machine.
