Never use harsh, gritty or abrasive cleansers • If the cabinet becomes stained, clean with diluted chlorine bleach (1 part bleach to 8 parts water). Rinse several times with clear water. • Remove glue residue from tape or labels with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent. Or, touch residue with the sticky side of tape. • When cleaning chrome parts, it is best to use only a damp cloth. • Before moving the washer, place a strip of cardboard or thin fiberboard under the front leveling legs to prevent damage to the floor.
