CARE AND CLEANING
CLEANING THE DISPENSERS
Clean the interior of the washer periodically to
remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew or bacteria
residue that may remain in the washer as a result of
washing clothes. We recommend taking the follow-
ing steps every 60 to 120 days to clean and freshen
your washer interior. The frequency with which the
washer should be cleaned and freshened depends on
factors such as usage, the amount of dirt, soil or bac-
teria being run through your washer, or the use of
cold water. Failure to follow these instructions may
result in unsatisfactory conditions, including unpleas-
ant odor and/or permanent stains on the washer or
washload.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
To clean and freshen the washer interior:
1. Make a solution of one cup chlorine bleach and two cups
warm water. Be careful not to spill or splash the bleach
solution.
2. Wipe the door seal with bleach solution and a soft cloth.
3. Fill bleach dispenser with chlorine bleach.
4. Run the washer through a complete cycle using hot
water.
5. Repeat the wash cycle if necessary.
Hard water deposits may be removed, if needed. Use a rec-
ommended cleaner labeled clothes washer safe.
