Cleaning your washer
1. Exterior
Proper care of your washer can extend its life.
The outside of the machine can be cleaned with warm water and a neutral, non-abrasive
household detergent.
Immediately wipe off any spills with a damp cloth.
Try not to damage the surface with sharp objects.
IMPORTANT: Do not use methylated spirit, solvents or similar products.
2. Interior
Dry around the washer door opening, door seal and door glass. These areas should always be clean to ensure
a water-tight seal.
TUB CLEAN is a special cycle for cleaning the inside of the washer. This cycle uses higher water level with
higher spin speed. Perform this cycle regularly.
• To start the TUB CLEAN cycle:
1. Remove any clothing or items from the washer and close the door.
2. Open the dispenser drawer and add liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment.
NOTE: Do not add any detergent to the detergent compartments. Excessive suds may be produced and leak
from the washer.
3. Close the dispenser drawer slowly.
4. Power On and then press the Extra Rinse button for 3 seconds. (Prewash option will be selected.)
5. Press the Start/Pause button to start.
6. After the cycle is complete, leave the door open to dry around the washer door opening, door seal and
door glass.
CAUTION: If there are small children in the house, care must be taken so that they can not climb into or
play inside the washer while it is open for drying.
NOTE: Remove hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled as safe for washing machines.

winterizing instructions to prevent damage to the washer:

compartments.
