Care and Cleaning
Figure 1
Outside
When washing is completed, wipe top and sides of washer with a damp
cloth. Turn water faucets off to prevent pressure build-up in the hoses.
As needed, clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. Never use harsh,
gritty or abrasive cleansers.
If door or console becomes stained, clean
with diluted chlorine bleach [1/2 cup (120 m I) in 1 quart (.95 L) water].
Rinse several times with clear water.
Remove glue residue from tape or labels with a mixture of warm water and
mild detergent. Or, touch residue with the sticky side of the tape or label.
Before moving the washer, place a strip of cardboard or thin fiberboard
under the front leveling legs to prevent floor damage.

Rinse the drawer and inserts with hot tap water to remove traces of
accumulated powders and liquids. Large amounts of fabdc softener
residue may indicate improper dilution or more frequent cleaning is
required.
To clean the drawer opening, use a small brush to clean the recess.
Remove all residue from the upper and lower parts of the recess. (Figure 4)
Return the bleach and fabric softener inserts to their proper compartments.
Replace the dispenser drawer and run the Prewash cycle without any wash
load in the drum.
Inside
Remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle ends. Excess
wrinkling, color transfer, and odors may develop in items left in the washer.
Before cleaning the washer interior, unplug the electrical
power cord to
avoid electrical shock hazards.
Dry around the washer door opening, flexible gasket, and door glass.
These areas should always be clean to ensure a water tight seal,
When extremely soiled items have been washed, a dirty residue may
remain on the drum. Remove this by wiping the drum with a nonabrasive
household cleanser. Rinse thoroughly with water.
The plastic drum vanes may become stained from fabric dye. Clean these
parts with a nonabrasive household cleanser. This prevents dye transfer to
future loads.
