WASHER CARE
Cleaning the exterior
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills such as
detergent or bleach. Occasionally wipe the outside of your
washer to keep it looking new.
Cleaning the interior
To clean your washer interior, add 1 cup (250 mL) of chlorine
bleach and 1 scoop or capful of detergent into your dispenser,
and run the washer through any cycle using hot water. Repeat
this process if necessary.
NOTE: Remove any hard water deposits using only cleaners
labeled as washer safe.
Cleaning the dispensers
The dispensers are self-cleaning. If the liquid fabric softener
dispenser needs cleaning, scrub with a brush using a liquid
laundry detergent solution.
IMPORTANT:
• Remove hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled as
washer safe.
• Never use any cleaning fluids on dispenser parts. This can
cause damage to the plastic.
Replace inlet hoses after five years of use to reduce the risk of
hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if
bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement
on the label with a permanent marker.
Install and store your washer where it will not freeze. Because
some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your
washer. If storing or moving your washer during freezing weather,
