Turn off the water faucets after finishing the day’s
washing. This will shut off the water supply to the clothes
washer and prevent the unlikely possibility of damage from
escaping water.
Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach or other spills
as they occur.
Clean the following as recommended:
Control Panel - clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use
abrasive powders or cleaning pads. Do not spray cleaners
directly on the panel.
Cabinet - clean with soap and water.
Interior - hard water deposits may be removed, if needed,
using a recommended cleaner labeled clothes washer safe.
C leaning the D ispenser
The dispenser may need to be cleaned periodically due to
laundry additive build-up. For easy clean-up of the dis­
penser, grasp the removable two-compartment container
(for bleach and softener) as shown in illustration #I.As
you begin to lift the two-compartment container, tilt
slightly inward, according to illustration #2 and remove
from the main dispenser.
Once the two-compartment container is removed from
the main dispenser, take it to a sink. Follow illustration #3
to remove the cap covering the siphon tube for the bleach and
softener. Run warm water and a soft brush or cloth over the
two parts to remove any excess laundry additives.
Clean the main dispenser area using water and a soft doth.
Once the main dispenser is clean, follow the illustrations in
reverse order to replace the two compartment container to
its original location.
NOTE: Do not use any cleaning substance but water in the main dispenser. It is possible for cleaning substances
to drain into the tub. If this should happen, set the washer for a rinse and spin cycle to remove any cleaning sub­
stance from the washer before doing a load of laundry.
