Performing
at its Best
I.
Always
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.
