Care and Cleaning 21 Other Inside Routine Cleaning (Preventive) Cleaning Dispenser Drawer Area NOTE Detergent and fabric softener may build up in the dispenser drawer. Residue should be removed once or twice a month. 1. Remove the drawer by pulling the drawer out until it stops. 2. Reach back into the back of the drawer cavity and press down firmly on the lock tab. Pull out the drawer. 4. Rinse the drawer and inserts with a combination of ¾ cup liquid chlorine bleach and 1 gallon hot tap water to remove traces of accumulated powders and liquids. Large amounts of fabric softener residue may indicate improper dilution or more frequent cleaning is required. Rinse well with tap water. 5. Clean the drawer opening, using a small brush to clean the recess. Remove all residue from the upper and lower parts of the recess. 6. Replace the inserts by pressing in place until you hear a slight click. Return the dispenser drawer. 3. Remove the inserts from the bleach and fabric softener compartments. Daily Preventive Maintenance • Remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle ends. Excess wrinkling, color transfer, and odors may develop in items left in the washer. • If there are no small children or pets present, you may leave the door ajar when the washer is not in use. • Leave the dispenser drawer open slightly at the end of the wash day. • Dry around the washer door opening, flexible gasket, and door glass. These areas should always be clean to ensure a water tight seal. • When extremely soiled items have been washed, a dirty residue may remain on the drum. Remove this by wiping the drum with a nonabrasive household cleanser. Rinse thoroughly with water. • Periodically, wipe dry the folds in the bottom of the flexible gasket to remove lint and other debris.
