CARE AND CLEANING CLEANING THE WASHER Proper Use of Detergent Using too much detergent is a common cause of laundry problems. Today's detergents are formulated to be effective without visible sudsing. Be sure to carefully read and follow manufacturer's recommendations for how much detergent to use in your wash. You can use less detergent if you have soft water, a smaller load, or a lightly soiled load. NOTE: Use only low-sudsing, highefficiency detergent such as Tide® HE. Care and Cleaning of the Washer Lid: Wash with a damp cloth on the outside and inside and dry with a soft cloth. Exterior: Immediately wipe off any spills. Wipe with damp cloth. Do not touch the surface or the display with sharp objects. Moving and Storage: 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. Long Vacations: Be sure water supply is shut off at faucets. Drain all water from hoses if weather will be below freezing. Dispenser Drawer: 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 it straight out until it stops. Lift up on the front of the drawer and pull it out. 2 Remove the inserts from the 2 compartments; rinse the inserts and the drawer with warm water to remove traces of accumulated laundry products. 3 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. 4 Return the inserts to the proper compartments and replace the drawer. 26
