Care and Cleaning.
Cleaning the Interior
of the Washer
To clean the interior of the washer, select
the
Tub Clean
feature on the control panel.
This
Tub Clean
cycle should be performed,
at a minimum, once per month. This cycle
will use more water, in addition to bleach,
to control the rate at which soils and
detergents may accumulate in your washer.
NOTE:
Read the instructions below
completely before starting the
Tub Clean
cycle.
1.
Remove any garments or objects from
the washer and ensure the washer
basket is empty.
2.
Open the washer door and pour
one cup or 250 ml of liquid bleach
or other washing machine cleaner
into the basket.
3.
Close the door and select the
Tub Clean
cycle. Push the
Start
pad.
4.
When the
Tub Clean
cycle is working,
the display will show the estimated cycle
time remaining. The cycle will complete
in about 90 minutes. Do not interrupt the
cycle.
5.
After the cycle is complete, leave
the door open slightly for better
ventilation.
If for any reason the cycle needs to
be interrupted, the door will not open
immediately. Forcing open the door at
this stage may cause water to flood.
The door will open after the water is
drained to a level where it would not
flood the floor.
Tub Clean
may be interrupted by pressing
the
Start
pad in between cycles. A power
outage in the house might also interrupt
the cycle. When the power supply is back,
the
Tub Clean
cycle resumes where it had
stopped. When interrupted, be sure to run a
complete
Tub Clean
cycle before using the
washer. If the
Power
pad is pressed during
BasketClean
, the cycle will be lost.
IMPORTANT:
Run
Tub Clean
with 1 Cup (250 ml) of
bleach once a month.
After the completion of a
Tub Clean
cycle, the interior of your washer may
have a bleach smell.
It is recommended to run a light color
load after the
Tub Clean
cycle.
