Before you begin

• Double-check that all shipping materials are removed from your new washer.
• Read your Use & Care Manual to familiarize yourself with your new washer.
•  Run the washer through a complete cycle and check for water leaks and proper operation.

Care and cleaning

• Detergent and fabric softener may build up in the dispenser drawer.
  Clean the drawer by removing and rinsing under hot tap water.

• Run the Clean Washer cycle with bleach or PureAdvantage™ Probiotic Washer Cleaner once a month to clean and freshen the washer. See your Use & Care Manual for additional cleaning instructions.
