WASHER CARE
Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean
and Performing at its Best
1. 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.
Cleaning Your Top Loading Washer
Read these instructions completely before beginning the
routine cleaning processes recommended below. This
Washer Maintenance Procedure should be performed,
at a minimum, once per month or every 30 wash cycles,
whichever occurs sooner, to control the rate at which soils
and detergent may otherwise accumulate in your washer.
Cleaning the Inside of the Washer
To keep your washer odor-free, follow the usage instructions
provided above, and use this recommended monthly
cleaning procedure:
Clean Washer Cycle
This washer has a special cycle that uses higher water
volumes in combination with liquid chlorine bleach to clean
the inside of the washer.
Begin procedure
1. Chlorine Bleach Procedure:
a. Open the washer lid and remove any clothing or items.
b. Add 236 mL (1 cup) of liquid chlorine bleach to the
bleach compartment.
NOTE: Use of more liquid chlorine bleach than is
recommended above could cause washer damage over
time.
c. Close the washer lid.
d. Do not add any detergent or other chemical
to the washer when following this procedure.
e. Select the CLEAN WASHER cycle.
f. Press the START/Pause/Unlock button to begin the
cycle. The Clean Washer Cycle Operation is described
below.
NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle. If cycle
must be interrupted, press POWER/STANDBY/CANCEL.
(For models with no POWER/STANDBY/CANCEL button,
press and hold START/Pause/Unlock for three seconds).
After the Clean Washer cycle has stopped, run a RINSE
and SPIN cycle to rinse cleaner from washer.
WASHER MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR DISPENSER TRAY
You may nd laundry product residue leftover in your
dispenser trays. To remove residue, follow this recommended
cleaning procedure:
1. Pull tray out until you feel resistance.
2. Lift up slightly, and then continue pulling out.
3. Wash in warm, soapy water, using a mild detergent.
4. Rinse with warm water.
5. Air dry, or dry with a towel, then place back into slot.
Replace inlet hoses after 5 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.
WATER INLET HOSES
IMPORTANT: Dispenser trays are not dishwasher safe.
