CLEANING YOUR WASHER
Cleaning the door seal
1. Open the washer door and remove any
clothing or items from the washer.
2. Inspect the gray colored seal between the
door opening and the basket for stained
areas. Pull back the seal to inspect areas
under the seal.
3. If stained areas are found, wipe down these
areas of the seal, using the procedure that
follows.
a) Mix a dilute solution, using 3/4 cup
(177.4 mL) of liquid chlorine bleach, and
1 gal. (3.8 L) of warm tap water.
b) Wipe the seal area with the dilute solu-
tion, using a damp cloth.
c) Let stand 5 minutes.
d) Wipe down area thoroughly with a dry
cloth and let the washer interior air dry.
IMPORTANT:
• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning for pro-
longed periods.
• Refer to the bleach manufacturer's instruc-
tions for proper use.
Washer Monthly Maintenance Procedure
Your washer has a special cycle stored within
the machine's programming. Pressing a specific
combination of buttons will enter this cleaning
cycle. This cycle uses higher water volumes
in combination with liquid chlorine bleach to
thoroughly clean the inside of your washing
machine.
NOTES:
• Read these instructions completely before
beginning the cleaning process.
• If necessary, the cleaning cycle may be in-
terrupted by pressing the PAUSE/CANCEL
button. However, this will not immediately
stop the cycle. The machine will display "int"
(interrupt) and continue with several rinse
and drain steps to ensure that all remaining
bleach is rinsed from the washer.
