CARE AND CLEANING GUIDE WARNING Always unplug your washer to avoid electric shock before cleaning. Ignoring this warning may result in death or injury. Before using cleaning products, always read and follow manufacturer's instructions and warnings to avoid personal injury or product damage. Cleaning and Maintenance General Care • Only use a damp or sudsy cloth for cleaning the control panel. • If you spill liquid/powdered softener, bleach or detergent on the cabinet, wipe the cabinet immediately to avoid damage to the finish. • Do not use abrasive cleansers, harsh chemicals, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated detergent, or solvents to clean the washer. These chemicals may dissolve, damage, or discolor the washer. • After washing clothes, leave the lid open so that moisture inside the machine can evaporate and to prevent the growth of mold or mildew. Detergent Dispenser 1. Pull the dispenser drawer out to the stop and lift up slightly to remove. 2. Rinse the dispenser with warm water and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth. 3. Insert the drawer at a slightly downward angle and push it back into place. Lint Filter 1. Push down on the tab at the top of the filter to release the filter from the wash basket. 2. Turn the filter over so the back side of the filter is facing upward. 3. While holding the filter firmly with one hand, lift up on the bottom of the filter to separate the front of the filter from the back, so you can access the filter screen. 4. Clean the filter screen and replace the back of the filter. 5. Slide the filter into the wash basket and firmly press it into place. IMPORTANT: Both lint filters must be in place during the wash cycles. Clean the lint screens after each wash load. 18
