Care and Cleaning
Turn off the water faucets after finishing the day’s washing.
This will shut off the water supply to the washer and prevent
the unlikely possibility of damage from escaping water.
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 and glass
cleaner. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads.
Cabinet – clean with soap and water followed with an appli-
ance wax, if desired.
Storing the Washer
Interior – hard water deposits may be removed, if needed,
using a recommended cleaner labeled washer safe.
Lint Filter – it is self-cleaning and requires no maintenance.
The filter is located under the agitator on the bottom of the
washtub. During the
wash and rinse por-
tion of the cycle, lint is
collected on the filter.
Then during the spin
and drain the filter is
cleaned automatically.
Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from hoses
and internal components before storage. Prepare the washer
for storage as follows:
• Select Regular Fabrics, eight minutes, 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. (Do not mix bleach and vinegar in the same wash.
Hazardous fumes can form.)
Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet hoses.
• Advance the cycle control knob to Spin and lower the
drain hose to eliminate any water that may be in the drain
hose.
• Disconnect the washer from the electrical supply and
leave the washer lid open to let air circulate inside the tub.
