Care and Cleaning
Turn off the water faucets after finishing the day’s wash­
ing. This will shut off the water supply to the 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 and glass
cleaner. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning
pads.
Cabinet - clean with soap and water.
Interior - hard water deposits may be removed, if
needed, using a recommended cleaner labeled wash­
er safe.
Storing the Washer
Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from
hoses and internal components before storage. Prepare
the washer for storage as follows:
• Select NORMAL on the WHITES cycle and add one
cup of bleach or white vinegar to a full load of water
without clothes. Run the washer through a complete
cycle.
• Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet
hoses.
Advance the cycle control dial to Spin and lower the
drain hose to eliminate any water that may be in the
drain hose.
Disconnect the washer from the electrical supply and
leave the washer lid open to let air circulate inside the
tub.
