Cleaning the Exterior

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 off any spills with a soft, damp

cloth.
IMPORTANT: Do not use methylated spirits,

solvents, or similar products.
Never use steel wool or abrasive cleansers; they

can damage the surface.

REGULAR CLEANING

Care and Cleaning of the Interior

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 completed. Leaving damp items

in the washer can cause wrinkling, color transfer,

and odor.
Run the TUB CLEAN cycle regularly to remove

detergent buildup and other residue.

Removing Lime Buildup

If you live in an area with hard water, lime scale

can form on internal components of the washer.

Use of a water softener is recommended in areas

with hard water. If a descaler is used, make sure

that it is suitable for use in a washer, and run the

TUB CLEAN cycle before washing clothing.
Lime scale and other spots may be removed

from the stainless steel drum using a stainless

steel cleaner. Do NOT use steel wool or abrasive

cleansers; they can damage the surface.

Storing the Washer

If the washer will not be used for an extended

period of time and is in an area that could be

exposed to freezing temperatures:

Turn off water supply tap.

Disconnect hoses from water supply and

drain water from hoses.

Plug the power cord into a properly grounded

electrical outlet.

Add 1 gallon of nontoxic recreational vehicle

(RV) antifreeze to the empty wash drum.

Close door.

Select the spin cycle and let washer spin

for 1 minute to drain out all the water.
NOTE: Not all of the RV antifreeze will be

expelled.

Unplug the power cord, dry the drum interior

with a soft cloth, and close the door.

Remove the inserts from the dispenser. Drain

any water in compartments and dry the

compartments.

Store the washer in an upright position.

To remove the antifreeze from the washer

after storage, run washer through a complete

cycle using detergent.

Do not add laundry!
