STACKED WASHER/DRYER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Washer

Always do the following to maintain washer freshness:

n Use only “HE” High Efficiency detergent.

n Leave the door slightly open after each cycle to allow for better ventilation and drying of washer interior.

n Clean the washer monthly (see “To clean washer interior”), using 2/3 cup (160 mL) of liquid chlorine bleach.

n If the procedure does not sufficiently improve the washer freshness, please evaluate your installation and usage conditions for other causes.

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. Do not use abrasive products.

Cleaning the dispenser drawer

The dispenser drawer is removable for easy cleaning.

1. Unlock the dispenser drawer for removal by inserting a flatblade screwdriver into the catch release. Remove the dispenser drawer.

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

3. Wash the parts under running water.

NOTE: Do not wash components in the dishwasher.

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

Water inlet hoses

When replacing your inlet hoses, record the date of replacement.
