Wipe up detergent, bleach, and other spills with a soft, damp cloth or sponge as they occur. Remove hard water deposits using only cleaners labeled as washer safe. If the washer interior needs cleaning, put 1 cup (250 mL) of chlorine bleach and 2 cups (500 mL) of detergent in the washer. Run through a complete cycle using hot water. After tinting or dyeing, put chlorine bleach and detergent in the washer. Run through a complete cycle using hot water to remove excess dye or tint. If staining occurs on following loads, repeat the process. Sharp or heavy objects can damage your washer. Check pockets for bolts, nuts, etc. Do not lay these objects on your washer after emptying pockets.

NOTE: Operate your washer onfy when you are at home.
