Maintaining your washer
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
Turn o the water faucets after fi nishing the day’s washing.
This will shut o 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.
Cleaning the following is recommended:
Control Panel Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive powder or cleaning pads. Do not
spray cleaner directly on the panel.
Cabinet Clean with soap and water.
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 a cleaner labeled “Washer safe”.
CLEANING THE DISPENSERS
The automatic dispenser may need to be cleaned periodically due to remove laundry additive buildup.
1. Pull the Liquid Detergent holder out of the detergent
compartment.
2. Remove the siphon cap from the fabric softener and bleach
compartments.
3. Wash all of the parts under running water.
4. Clean the dispenser recess with a soft brush.
5. Reinsert the siphon cap and push it fi rmly into place.
6. Push the Liquid Detergent holder back into place.
7. Run a Rinse+Spin cycle without any load in your washer.

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 o 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 you store your washer in below freezing temperatures, make sure you allow time for any leftover water
in your washer to thaw before use.
