All-In-One Washer/Dryer Maintenance
WASHER/DRYER CARE
Recommendations to Help Keep Your Washer/Dryer
Clean and Performing at its Best
1. Always use High Efciency (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 or hot water washes 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/dryer door slightly ajar
between uses to help dry out the washer/dryer and
avoid the buildup of odor-causing residue.
4. Periodically clean residue from all interior surfaces of the
glass window. For better care, wipe the entire inside of the
glass door with a damp cloth.
Cleaning Your Front-Loading Washer/Dryer
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/dryer.
Cleaning the Door Seal
1. Open the washer/dryer door and remove any clothing
or items from the washer/dryer.
2. Inspect the seal between the door opening and the drum
for stained areas or soil buildup. Pull back the seal to
inspect all areas under the seal and to check for foreign
objects.
