Care and Cleaning

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.
• Dry the washer top, the area around the lid opening, and the underside of
the lid. These areas should always be dry before the lid is closed.
• Before cleaning the washer interior, unplug the electrical power cord to
avoid electrical shock hazards.
• When extremely soiled items have been washed, a dirty residue may remain
on the tub. Remove this by wiping the tub with a nonabrasive household
cleanser. Rinse thoroughly with water.
• The agitator or tub may become stained from fabric dye. Clean these parts
with a nonabrasive household cleanser. This prevents dye transfer to future
loads.
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.
• Clean the cabinet with mild soap and water. Never use harsh, gritty or abra-
sive cleansers
• If the cabinet becomes stained, clean with diluted chlorine bleach (1 part
bleach to 8 parts 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 tape.
• Before moving the washer, place a strip of cardboard or thin fi berboard
under the front leveling legs to prevent damage to the fl oor.
