How should I care for and clean the washer between uses?

Leave the lid open after washing to allow moisture to evaporate from the wash basket, and if cleaning is needed, use a clean soft cloth dampened with liquid detergent then rinse — do not use harsh or gritty cleaners. Wipe off any spills on the exterior immediately with a damp cloth. The lint filter, located under the agitator, is self-cleaning and requires no maintenance. (Page 10)
