button.

Using the ECO Drum Clean course, you can clean the drum without using a cleansing agent.
•
Never use the ECO Drum Clean course when laundry is in the washing machine. This may
result in damage to the texture or a problem with the washing machine.
• Use only 1/10 of the amount of the drum cleansing agent recommended by the
cleansing agent manufacturer.
•
Since using a chlorine bleaching agent may discolor the product, be sure to use only oxygen
bleaching agents.
•
Powder-type cleansing agent: Use a [powder-type bleaching agent] or a [cleansing agent for
drum cleaning only].
•
Liquid-type cleansing agent: Use a [liquid-type oxygen bleaching agent] or a [cleansing agent
for drum cleaning only].
The ECO Drum Clean Auto Alarm Function
•
If the “ECO Drum Clean” indicator on the display and the
lamp on the Cycle Selector are lit after a wash, it indicates
that tub (drum) cleaning is required. In this case, remove the
laundry from the washing machine, turn the power on, and
clean the drum by performing the ECO Drum Clean course.
•
If you do not perform the ECO Drum Clean course, the
“ECO Drum Clean” indicator on the display and the lamp
on the Cycle Selector are turned off. However, the “ECO
Drum Clean” indicator on the display and the lamp on the
Cycle Selector are turned on again after two washes are
performed. However, this will not result in a problem with the
washing machine.
•
Although generally, the ECO Drum Clean Auto Alarm
appears once a month or so, the frequency may differ
depending on the number of times the washing machine is used.
