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, 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 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.
