English Care and Cleaning Guide Warning: Always unplug your appliance 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 Use only damp cloth for cleaning control panel. • To avoid any kind of damage to cabinet finish, wipe appliance cabinet as needed. If you spill liquid softener, bleach or detergent on the cabinet, wipe cabinet immediately because it can damage the finish. • Do not use any abrasive, harsh chemicals, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated detergent or solvents. Some of these chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your appliance. • Remove pins or other sharp objects from clothes to prevent scratching interior parts. • We suggest that you check the button trap no more than twice a year. Do not use washer without button trap in its place. • The Detergent Dispenser Compartment has a removable option. Over time, this compartment may accumulate dried detergent, dirt and debris. You must remove the dispenser, then rinse it in a sink to remove dirt if present. Moving & Vacationing • Turn off water supply faucets and disconnect hoses. Drain water from all hoses. This will prevent damage due to water leakage if the hoses accidentally get ruptured or they become loose. • Disconnect electrical plug. • Dry inner wash tub. If moving washer, disconnect drain hose. • Turn the leveling legs clockwise all the way in. • Reinstall both shipping bolts and metal brackets in the back to prevent internal part from shaking when appliance is moving to another location. • To prevent mold leave door open so moisture inside machine can evaporate.
