Washer Maintenance

WATER INLET HOSES

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.

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; this, 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:

Recommended Cycle for Cleaning the Washer

Refer to the "Cycle Guide" for the optimal cycle for cleaning

the inside of the washer. Use this cycle with washer cleaner

or liquid chlorine bleach as described below.

Cleaning the Dispensers

After a period of using your washer, you may find some

residue buildup in the washer's dispensers. To remove

residue from the dispensers, wipe them with a damp cloth

and towel dry. Do not attempt to remove the dispensers or

trim for cleaning. The dispensers and trim are not removable.

If your model has a dispenser drawer, however, remove the

drawer and clean it before or after you run the Clean Washer

cycle. Use an all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed.

Cleaning the Outside of the Washer

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

Use only mild soaps or cleaners when cleaning external

washer surfaces.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer's finish, do not

use abrasive products.

NON-USE AND VACATION CARE

Operate your washer only when you are home. If moving, or

not using your washer for a period of time, follow these steps:

1� Unplug or disconnect power to washer.

2� Turn off water supply to washer to avoid flooding due

to water pressure surge.
