Care and Cleaning
CARE AND CLEANING
Hoses connecting washer to faucet should be replaced every 5 years.
Water Supply Hoses
Ask the service technician to remove water
from drain pump and hoses. Do not store the
washer where it will be exposed to the weather.
GTW750 & GTW755 models only:
Do not move the washer with a full tank of detergent. If moving the washer with a partially filled
tank of detergent, do not tilt washer forward as detergent could spill from tank. If moving the washer will result in tipping the washer
forward in any way, it is best to flush out your detergent tank. See Detergent Tank Clean-Out in this Care and Cleaning section.
Moving and Storage
Be sure water supply is shut off at faucets. Drain all water from hoses and water filter pump area if weather will be below freezing.
Long Vacations
Exterior of the Washer
Immediately wipe off any spills with a damp cloth.
Interior of the Washer
NOTE: For the GTW750 and GTW755 models, the following
instructions should be followed using the Bulky Items cycle.
To clean the interior of the washer, select the Basket Clean
feature on the control panel. This Basket Clean cycle should
be performed, at a minimum, once per month. This cycle will
use more water, in addition to bleach, to control the rate at
which soils and detergents may accumulate in your washer.
NOTE: Read the instructions below completely before starting
the Basket Clean cycle.
1. Remove any garments or objects from the washer and
ensure the washer basket is empty.
2. Open the washer lid and pour one cup or 250
ml of liquid bleach or other washing machine
cleaner into the basket.
3. Close the lid and select the Basket Clean cycle. Push the
Start button.
4. When the Basket Clean cycle is working, the display will show
the estimated cycle time remaining. Do not interrupt the cycle.
Basket Clean may be interrupted by pressing the Start button
in between cycles. A power outage in the house might also
interrupt the cycle. When the power supply is back, the Basket
Clean cycle resumes where it had stopped. When interrupted,
be sure to run a complete Basket Clean cycle before using the
washer. If the Power button is pressed during Basket Clean,
the cycle will be lost.
IMPORTANT:
Ŷ
Run Basket Clean with 1 Cup (250 ml) of bleach once a month.
Ŷ
After the completion of a Basket Clean cycle, the interior of
your washer may have a bleach smell.
Dispenser Drawer
After some period of use, a small amount of detergent or softener
residue may be present in the dispenser drawer. The drawer can
easily be removed for cleaning. To remove the drawer, pull it out
until the drawer stops and then lift up on the front of the drawer.
The drawer can then be removed from the dispenser box. Wash
the drawer in warm, soapy water using a mild detergent. Rinse
drawer with warm water. If siphon caps are removed for cleaning,
be sure to push siphon caps fully back into place after cleaning.
The dispenser drawer and siphon caps are not dishwasher
safe. The dispenser box is not removable, but it can be wiped
clean using a damp cloth if necessary. Do not attempt to
remove the dispenser box for cleaning.
Detergent Tank Clean-Out
(GTW750 and GTW755 models only)
NOTE: All clothes should be removed from the washer prior to
cleaning out the detergent tank.
To empty out the tank and remove any remaining detergent
from the reservoir:
1. Press and hold both the Detergent Dispense and Select
buttons for three seconds.
2. The empty out routine will begin with the contents of tank,
mixed with water, being dispensed into the basket and
consequently drained from the machine at the same time.
3. The empty out routine will continue for approximately 15
minutes unless it is paused by the pressing of the Start
button. If tank is initially full, routine may need to be run a
second time to empty detergent tank.
NOTE: Optionally, hot water can be added to the tank to aid in
flushing out the system of any residual detergent prior to starting
or during the cleanout routine.
GTW750 and GTW755 models
have a small dispenser drawer
with one compartment for
softener/conditioner only.
GTW680 and GTW685 models
have a large dispenser drawer
with compartments for both
detergent and softener.
