Soak a sponge or a soft cloth in this diluted
solution and wipe down all around the door
seal.

Wipe any moisture with a dry towel or cloth
after cleaning.

Leave the door open to allow the door seal
to dry completely.
CAUTION
• Cleaning the door seal with an undiluted
solution may cause malfunction of the
door seal and washing machine parts.

Clean the drum, TUB CLEAN

Using the washing machine in a humid space
for a long period of time may lead to a buildup
of black mold and germs in the air inside the
washer tub and affect your health. If you clean
the washer tub regularly on a monthly basis
using TUB CLEAN it will keep the washer tub
clean for hygienic use.
1 Add tub cleaner or lime scale remover into
the detergent dispenser drawer.
- Do not exceed the maximum detergent
limit line when you add it. Detergent may
remain in the washer tub after cleaning.
- When you use liquid chlorine bleach, load it
into the liquid chlorine bleach compartment.
When you use a powdered cleaner, add it
into the main wash detergent compartment.
- When you use cleaning tablets, place them
directly into the washer tub. (Do not add
cleaning tablets to the drawer.)
2 Do operate tub clean. (please refer to 70
page about tub)
NOTE
• Never load laundry while using TUB
CLEAN. The laundry may damage or
become contaminated.
Make sure to clean the washer tub when
it is empty.
• Leave the door open after finishing the
laundry to keep the tub clean.
• TUB CLEAN should be repeated
monthly.
• Safely and conveniently secure the
door slightly ajar with a magnetic door
plunger. This will promote air circulation
and allow the interior of the machine to
dry.
