the basket for stained areas. Pull back the seal/bellow to

inspect all areas under the seal/bellow and to check for

foreign objects.

bellows, 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/bellow area with the dilute solution, 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 with door open.

IMPORTANT:

■ Wear rubber gloves when cleaning for prolonged periods.

■ Refer to the bleach manufacturer’s instructions for proper

use.

Cleaning the interior

Use the following procedure without any clothing. Your washer

interior should be cleaned at least once per month to reduce or

avert any accumulation of mold or mildew odors.

1. Remove any clothing or items from the washer.

2. Open the dispenser drawer and add liquid chlorine bleach

into the Main Wash detergent compartment.

NOTE: Use 1 cup (236.6 mL) for first time cleaning. Use

¹⁄₃ cup (78.8 mL) for monthly maintenance.

3. Select and run the Regular/Heavy soil cycle using hot water.

Repeat this process if necessary.

4. After cleaning, leave the washer door open slightly to allow

for better ventilation and drying of washer interior.

NOTE: To remove hard water deposits, use only cleaners labeled

for washer use.

Cleaning the exterior

Use a soft damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills.

Occasionally wipe the outside of your washer to keep it looking

new. Use mild soap and water. Do not use abrasive products.

Cleaning the dispenser drawer

The dispenser drawer is removable for easy cleaning.

1. Open the dispenser drawer. Unlock the dispenser drawer by

pressing on the plastic part of the softener compartment

marked “PUSH.” (Letter A in dispenser illustration.)

2. Remove the drawer.

3. To avoid damage to the finish, do not clean the drawer with

cleaning solvents or abrasive cleansers.

4. Replace the dispenser drawer in the washer.

Cleaning the lint filter

The lint filter should be cleaned about once a month. Make sure

the washer is not running before opening the filter door.

1. Place a pan or towel under the filter door, since a small

amount of water could spill. Open the filter door.

2. Remove the filter by rotating it a half-turn counterclockwise

and pulling outward.
