DoorSealandGlassCleaning
Due to the location and nature of the door seal, some
detergent and soil residue may build up on the door glass
and seal. Periodic cleaning with a bleach solution can help
remove buildup and stains, and can help sanitize the seal to
prevent odors.
NOTE: Wear rubber gloves and eye protection while
performing the following procedure:
Dilute ¾ cup (177 ml) liquid chlorine bleach in 1
gallon (3.8 L) of warm/hot water.
Use this solution to wipe down
all surfaces of the gasket and
door glass to remove any
deposits. Be sure to fold back the
lip of the gasket to get under
the inner edge where residue
can build up.
Dry the gasket and glass with a dry cloth.
To allow the gasket to dry completely, secure the
door slightly ajar with the door magnet. This will
promote air circulation and allow the interior of the
machine to dry. To use this feature, close the door
just until it contacts the door magnet.
NOTE:
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper use
of bleach.
• To avoid damaging the gasket, NEVER use undiluted
bleach to clean the gasket.
RemovingMineralBuildup
If you live in an area with hard water, mineral scale can form
on internal components of the washer. Use of a water softener
is recommended in areas with hard water.
Use a descaler, such as Washer Magic
®
, to remove visible
mineral buildup. After descaling, always run the CLEAN
WASHER cycle before washing clothing. Do NOT use steel
wool or abrasive cleaners.
CleaningtheExterior
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 o any spills with a soft, damp cloth.
IMPORTANT: Do not use solvents, cleaning alcohols, or simi-
lar products. Never use steel wool or abrasive cleaners
because they can damage the surface.
CareandCleaningoftheInterior
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 complete. Leaving damp items in the washer can cause
wrinkling, color transfer, and odor. Run the CLEAN WASHER
cycle once a month, or more often if needed, to remove
detergent buildup and other residue.
Clean Washer
NOTE:
• Do not add tablet cleaner to the dispenser drawer.
• Do not add any laundry detergent or fabric softener to
the drawer when using CLEAN WASHER.
Turn ON the washer and press and hold the
ACCELA-WASH button for three seconds, and the LED
will blink. Selecting any other cycle after CLEAN
WASHER has been selected will cause the CLEAN
WASHER cycle to be cancelled.
After the cycle ends, open the door and allow the
drum interior to dry completely.
NOTE: Run the CLEAN WASHER cycle once a month. If a
mildewy or musty smell is present, run the CLEAN
WASHER cycle once a week for three consecutive weeks.
