hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if
bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

replacement on the label with a permanent marker.
NOTE: This washer does not include inlet hoses. See the
"Installation Instructions" for more information.

WASHER CARE

Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean and
Performing at its Best
1. Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the
detergent manufacturer's instructions regarding the amount
of detergent to use. Never use more than the recommended
amount because that may increase the rate at which
detergent and soil residue accumulate inside your washer,
which in turn may result in undesirable odor.
2. Use warm and hot wash water settings sometimes (not
exclusively cold water washes), because they do a better
job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent
accumulate.
3. Always leave the washer lid open between uses to help
dry out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-causing
residue.

of the washer interior.
Cleaning the Dispensers
After a period of using your washer, you may find some
residue buildup in the washer's dispensers. To remove residue
from the dispensers, wipe them with a damp cloth and towel
dry. Do not attempt to remove the dispensers or trim for
cleaning. The dispensers and trim are not removable. If your
model has a dispenser drawer, however, remove the drawer
and clean it before or after you run the Clean Washer cycle.
Use an all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed.
Cleaning the Outside of the Washer
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe away any spills.
Use only mild soaps or cleaners when cleaning external
washer surfaces.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer's finish, do not
use abrasive products.
NON-USE AND VACATION CARE
Operate your washer only when you are home. If moving, or
not using your washer for a period of time, follow these steps:
1. Unplug or disconnect power to washer.
2. Turn off water supply to washer, to avoid flooding due
to water pressure surge.
