It may cause fabric damage, such as weakening of cloth fibers or color l

Power off the machine, unplug the power cord, then turn off the water inlet faucet. Use a soft damp cloth to wipe up the cabinet and control panel. Do not use abrasive powders or cleaning pads. Do not spray cleaners directly onto the panel.
Clean the interior
Clean the interior of your washer periodically to remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew, or bacterial residue that may remain in your washer. Failure to follow these instructions may result in unpleasant conditions, including odors and/or permanent stains on your washer or laundry. Hard water deposits may be removed, if needed, use cleaners labeled as “washer safe”. Run “Quick Wash” cycle with some bleach every month to clean the interior drum.
