Care and cleaning

Control Panel
To clean the control panel, use a lightly dampened cloth.
Then dry thoroughly.
Exterior Door Panel

what type of panel you have. Refer to the last two letters
of your model number. You can locate your model
number on the left-hand tub wall just inside the door. If
your model number ends with BB, CC, WW, SA, ES, DS,
TS or FS then you have a painted door panel. If your
model number ends with SS, then you have a Stainless
Steel door panel. If your model number ends with II, then
you have an Integrated door panel.
Follow the instructions below for cleaning the door panel
for your specific model.
