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.
Water Use
Storing the Washer
Interior – hard water deposits may be removed, if
needed, using a recommended cleaner labeled wash-
er safe.
Lint Filter – it is self-cleaning and requires no mainte-
nance. The filter is located under the agitator on the
bottom of the washtub. During the wash and rinse
portion of the
cycle, lint is col-
lected on the fil-
ter. Then during
the spin and
drain the filter is
cleaned automat-
ically.

Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from
hoses and internal components before storage. Prepare
the washer for storage as follows:
• Select the NORMAL cycle for regular fabrics and add
one cup of chlorine bleach OR white vinegar to a full
load of water without clothes. Run the washer
through a complete cycle. (Do not mix bleach and
vinegar in the same wash. Hazardous fumes can
form.)
