CLEANING THE DOOR SEAL/BELLOW
1. Open the washer door and remove any clothing or items from the washer.
2. Inspect the gray colored seal/bellow between the door
opening and the basket for stained areas. Pull back the
seal/bellow to inspect all areas under the seal/bellow and to
check for foreign objects.
3. If you find stained areas, wipe them down using the procedure below:
a) Carefully combine ¾ cup (177 mL) of liquid chlorine bleach with 1 gal. (3.8 L) of warm
tap water.
b) Wipe the seal/bellow area with the dilute solution, using a damp cloth.
c) Let stand 5 minutes.
d)
Wipe down the area thoroughly with a dry cloth and let the washer interior air dry with the
door open.
IMPORTANT:
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning for prolonged periods.
• Refer to the bleach manufacturer’s instructions for proper 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 washing machine. Keep them on the pedestal (if purchased) or in a separate storage box.
Since the entire washing machine has a high-gloss finish, the surface can be scratched or damaged.
Avoid scratching or damaging the surface when using the washing machine.
