Interior of the Washer
To clean the interior of the washer, select the Bulky cycle on
the control panel. This Bulky 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 Bulky cycle.
1. Remove any garments or objects from the washer and
ensure the washer basket is empty.
2. Open the washer lid and pour one cup or 250 ml
of liquid bleach or other washing machine
cleaner into the basket.
