Cleaning the Exterior
Proper care of your washer can extend its life. The outside
of the machine can be cleaned with warm water and a mild,
nonabrasive household detergent.
Immediately wipe off any spills with a soft, damp cloth.
IMPORTANT: Do not use methylated spirits, solvents, or
similar products.
Never use steel wool or abrasive cleansers; they can damage
the surface.
Care and Cleaning of the Interior
Use a towel or soft cloth to wipe around the washer door
opening, door seal, and door glass. These areas should be
kept clean to ensure a watertight seal. Be sure to wipe under
the inside rubber seal to remove any moisture or soil.
Always remove items from the washer as soon
as the cycle is completed. Leaving damp items in the washer
can cause wrinkling, color transfer, and odor.

monthly basis, the wash drum will be kept clean.
