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.
• Read these instructions carefully before beginning the TUB CLEAN cycle.
1. Open the door and remove any clothing in the wash drum.

line and do not pour undiluted liquid bleach directly into the wash drum.)
