General considerations
Cleaning
Surface of the washer
Use a soft cloth with a nonabrasive household detergent. Do not spray water onto the
washer.
Exterior
1. Turn off the water taps after finishing the day's washing.
This will shut off the water supply to your washer and prevent the unlikely possibility
of damage from escaping water. Leave the door open to allow the inside of your
washer to dry out.
2. Use a soft cloth to wipe up all detergent, bleach, or other spills as they occur.
Clean the following as recommended below:
- Control panels – Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive powders or
cleaning pads. Do not spray cleaners directly on the panels.
- Cabinet – Clean with soap and water.
Interior
Clean the interior of your washer periodically to remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew,
or bacterial residue that may remain in your washer as a result of washing clothes.
CAUTION
Failure to follow these instructions may result in unpleasant conditions, including odors
and/or permanent stains on your washer or laundry.
NOTE
Hard water deposits may be removed, if needed. Use a cleaner labeled "Washer safe".
