Cleaning the exterior Use a soft damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills. Occasionally wipe the outside of your washer to keep it looking new. Use mild soap and water.

Remove the inserts (the siphon from the softener and bleach compartments and the detergent selector). 3. Wash the parts under running water. 4.

Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found. When replacing your inlet hoses, record the date of replacement. Vacation, Storage, and Moving Care Install and store your washer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your washer.
