38 MAINTENANCE 7 To clean the drawer opening, use a small, non-metal brush to clean the recess. Remove all residue from the upper and lower parts of the recess. 8 Replace the drawer. WARNING • The inlet screens protect the delicate parts of the inlet valve from being damaged by particles that could enter the valves with the water supply. Operating the washer with these filters removed could cause a valve to open continuously, resulting in flooding and/or property damage. Cleaning the Door Seal Clean the door seal once a month to prevent build-up of dirt. CAUTION • Cleaning the door seal with undiluted bleach may cause malfunction of the door seal and washer parts. You must add water to the bleach before using it. 1 Wear rubber gloves and protective goggles. 2 Dilute 3/4 cup (177 mL) of liquid chlorine bleach in 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water. 3 Wipe around the door seal. • Soak a sponge or a soft cloth in this diluted solution and wipe all around the door seal. 4 Wipe up any moisture with a dry towel or cloth after cleaning. 5 Leave the door open to allow the door seal to dry completely. Cleaning the Water Inlet Filters If the washer does not fill properly, an error message will appear on the display. The inlet valve filter screens could be clogged by hard water scale, sediment in the water supply, or other debris. CAUTION • Do not use the washer without the inlet filters. Doing so will cause leaks and malfunction. • If you use the washer in an area with hard water, the inlet filter may clog due to lime buildup and require more frequent cleaning. 1 Turn off the washer, and unplug the power cord. 2 Turn off hot and cold water faucets. 3 Unscrew the hot and cold water hoses from the back of the washer. 4 Remove the filters from the water valves carefully. • Use pliers to pull out the filters from the water valves. 5 Remove foreign objects and soak the filters in white vinegar or a lime scale remover. • If using a lime scale remover, follow the manufacturer's instructions. Be careful not to damage the filters while cleaning them. 6 Rinse filters thoroughly and press them back into place.
