Interior cleaning

If you use a non-phosphate laundry detergent, you may need to clean
buildup and oils from the inside of the washer periodically, especially if
you live in an area with hard water. To remove buildup, run the washer
through a complete hot water cycle (Heavy Stain or White setting)
with no clothes, detergent or other laundry aids added. If desired,
add 2 cups of water conditioner or de-liming agent to the detergent
dispenser.
General care of the machine
Never use solvents or abrasives to clean the external parts of the washer/
dryer.
Water supply should be turned off when not in use.
Unplug the machine if you will be gone for a period of time or the
machine will not be used.
Clean the detergent drawer periodically (see Cleaning Dispenser, pg. 13).
Always unplug the machine during cleaning or maintenance.
Do not use too much detergent or other laundry additives, as excessive
amounts could over-suds and damage your washer/dryer.
Before moving the washer/dryer to a new location, reattach shipping
bolts, spacers and grommets that were removed during installation (see
page 4).
