WASHER MAINTENANCE AND CARE
WATER INLET HOSES
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.

WASHER CARE
Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer Clean and Performing at its Best
1. Always use High Efciency (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.
Cleaning Your Top Loading Washer
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:
Clean Washer Cycle
This washer has a special cycle that uses higher water volumes in combination with affresh® Washer Cleaner or liquid chlorine bleach to clean the inside of the washer.
Begin procedure
1. affresh® Washer Cleaner Cycle Procedure (Recommended for Best Performance):
a. Open the washer lid and remove any clothing or items. b. Place an affresh® Washer Cleaner tablet in the bottom
of the washer basket.
c. Do not place an affresh® Washer Cleaner tablet in the
detergent dispenser.
d. Do not add any detergent or other chemical to the
washer when following this procedure.
e. Close the washer lid. f. Select the CLEAN WASHER cycle. g. Touch and hold the START/PAUSE button to begin the
cycle. The Clean Washer Cycle Operation is described below.

washer when following this procedure.
e. Select the CLEAN WASHER cycle. f. Touch and hold the START/PAUSE button to begin the
cycle. The Clean Washer Cycle Operation is described below.
NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle. If cycle
must be interrupted, touch POWER. After the Clean Washer cycle has stopped, run a RINSE & SPIN cycle to rinse cleaner from washer.
Description of Clean Washer Cycle Operation:
1. This cycle will ll 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 nd 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 nish, do not use abrasive products.
Operate your washer only when you are home. If moving, or not using your washer for a period of time, follow these steps:
1. Unplug or disconnect power to washer.
2. Turn off water supply to washer, to avoid ooding due
to water pressure surge.
CLEANING YOUR DISPENSER
