CLEANING DISPENSER DRAWER AREA
NOTE
Detergent and fabric softener may build up in the
dispenser drawer. Residue should be removed
once or twice a month.
• Remove the drawer by pulling the drawer out
until it stops.
• Reach back into the left rear corner of the
drawer cavity and press down fi rmly on the lock
tab. Pull out the drawer.
• Remove the insert from the prewash, bleach,
and fabric softener compartments.
• Rinse the drawer and inserts with hot tap water
to remove traces of accumulated powders
and liquids. Large amounts of fabric softener
residue may indicate improper dilution or more
frequent cleaning is required.
• To clean the drawer opening, use a small brush
to clean the recess. Remove all residue from
the upper and lower parts of the recess.
• Replace the insert by pressing it in place until
you hear a slight click. Return the dispenser
drawer.
DAILY PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
• Remove items from the washer as soon as the
cycle ends. Excess wrinkling, color transfer, and
odors may develop in items left in the washer.
• If there are no small children or pets present,
you may leave the door ajar when the washer is
not in use.
• Leave the dispenser drawer open slightly at the
end of the wash day.
• Dry around the washer door opening, fl exible
gasket, and door glass. These areas should
always be clean to ensure a water tight seal.
• When extremely soiled items have been
washed, a dirty residue may remain on the
drum. Remove this by wiping the drum with a
nonabrasive household cleanser. Rinse thor-
oughly with water.
• Periodically, wipe dry the folds in the bottom
of the fl exible gasket to remove lint and other
debris.
