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. Do not use abrasive products.

To keep the interior of your washer clean, run the Sanitary cycle 
without clothes. Use ½ of the detergent manufacturer's 
recommended amount of High Efficiency (HE) powdered or liquid 
detergent for a medium-size load. 

Check the fold of the seal periodically for any foreign objects. To 
clean the seal, mix a dilute solution, using ¾ cup (177.4 mL) of 
liquid chlorine bleach, and 1 gal. (3.8 L) of warm tap water. Wipe 
the seal area with the dilute solution, using a damp cloth. Let 
stand 5 minutes. Wipe down area thoroughly with a dry cloth and 
let the washer interior air dry with door open.

■

Wear rubber gloves when cleaning for prolonged periods.

■

Refer to the bleach manufacturer's instructions for proper 
use.

The dispenser drawer is removable for easy cleaning.

1. Unlock the dispenser drawer by pressing the Release Lever in 

the Prewash compartment. See “Using the Dispenser.” 
Remove the drawer.

2. Remove the inserts (the siphon from the softener and bleach 

compartments and the separator).

3. Wash the parts under running water.

4. Replace the inserts and return the dispenser to the drawer.

Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of hose 
failure. 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. 

Install and store your washer where it will not freeze. Because 
some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your 
washer. If storing or moving your washer during freezing weather, 
winterize it.

Operate your washer only when you are at home. If you will be on 
vacation or not using your washer for an extended period of time, 
you should:

■

Unplug washer or disconnect power.

■

Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid 
unintended flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you 
are away.

■

Slightly open door to provide ventilation.

1. Put 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the drum.

2. Run washer on a DRAIN/SPIN cycle.

3. Unplug washer or disconnect power.

4. Shut off both water faucets.

5. Disconnect water inlet hoses from faucets and drain.

1. Flush water pipes. Reconnect water inlet hoses to faucets. 

Turn on both water faucets. 

2. Plug in washer or reconnect power.

3. Run the washer through the Normal/Casual cycle with 

¹ ₂ the 

manufacturer’s recommended amount of HE detergent for a 
medium-size load, to clean the washer and remove the 
antifreeze, if used.

1. If washer will be moved during freezing weather, put in 

1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the drum. Run washer on
a DRAIN/SPIN cycle.

2. Unplug the power cord.

3. Disconnect the drain hose from the drain system and attach 

to rear panel clips.

4. Shut off both water faucets.

5. Disconnect the water inlet hoses from faucets, then drain the 

hoses and clip them to the rear panel of the washer.

IMPORTANT: Call service. Do not reuse transport bolts. Washer 
must be transported in the upright position. To avoid suspension 
and structural damage to your washer, it must be properly set up 
for relocation by a certified technician.

1. Follow the “Installation Instructions” to locate, level and 

connect the washer.

2. Run the washer through the Normal/Casual cycle with 

¹ ₂ the 

manufacturer’s recommended amount of HE detergent for a 
medium-size load, to clean the washer and remove the 
antifreeze, if used.
