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, mark the date of replacement 

on the label with a permanent marker.
NOTE: This washer does not include inlet hoses. See the 

“Installation Instructions” for more information.

1.   Always use High Efficiency (HE) detergents and follow the 

HE detergent manufacturer’s instructions regarding the 

amount of HE detergent to use. Never use more than the 

recommended amount because that may increase the rate 

at which detergent and soil residue accumulate inside your 

washer, which in turn may result in undesirable odor.

2.    Use warm and hot wash water settings sometimes (not 

exclusively cold water washes), because they do a better 

job of controlling the rate at which soils and detergent 

accumulate.

3.    Always leave the washer lid open between uses to help dry 

out the washer and prevent the buildup of odor-causing 

residue.

Read these instructions completely before beginning the 

routine cleaning processes recommended below. This Washer 

Maintenance Procedure should be performed, at a minimum, 

once per month or every 30 wash cycles, whichever occurs 

sooner, to control the rate at which soils and detergent may 

otherwise accumulate in your washer.
Cleaning the Inside of the Washer
To keep your washer odor-free, follow the usage instructions 

provided above, and use this recommended monthly cleaning 

procedure:

Description of Clean Washer Cycle Operation:
1.   This cycle will fill to a water level higher than in normal wash 

cycles to provide rinsing at a level above the water line for 

normal wash cycle.

2.   During this cycle, there will be some agitation and spinning  

to increase the removal of soils.

After this cycle is complete, leave the lid open to allow  

for better ventilation and drying of the washer interior.
Cleaning the Dispensers
After a period of using your washer, you may find some residue 

buildup in the washer’s dispensers. To remove residue from 

the dispensers, wipe them with a damp cloth and towel dry. 

Do not attempt to remove the dispensers or trim for cleaning. 

The dispensers and trim are not removable. If your model has 

a dispenser drawer, however, remove the drawer and clean it 

before or after you run the Clean Washer cycle. Use an all-

purpose surface cleaner, if needed.
Cleaning the Outside of the Washer
Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe away any spills. Use 

only mild soaps or cleaners when cleaning external washer 

surfaces. 
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer’s finish, do not 

use abrasive products.
