MAINTENANCE
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. Wipe 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, flexible gasket and door glass. These areas should always be clean to
ensure a water-tight seal.
Run washer through a complete cycle using hot water.
Repeat process if necessary.
• 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 the machine, press the “option” and then select the “Tub Clean”.
5. Press the Start/Pause button to start.

play inside the washer while it is open for drying.
NOTE: Remove hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled as safe for washing machines.
