Cleaning the Interior of the
Washer
To clean the interior of the washer, select
the BasketClean feature on the control
panel. The cycle will use more water, in
addition to bleach, to refresh your washer.
NOTE: Read the instructions below
completely before starting the
BasketClean
cycle.
1. Remove any garments or objects from
the washer and ensure the washer
basket is empty.

cup or 250 ml of liquid bleach or other
washing machine cleaner into the
basket.

BasketClean cycle. Push the START
button.
4. When the BasketClean cycle is
working, you will see ESTIMATEDTIME
REMAINING on the display. 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.
BasketClean may be interrupted by
pressing the START/PAUSEbutton in
between cycles. A power outage in the
house might also interrupt the cycle. When
the power supply is back, the BasketClean
cycle resumes where it had stopped. When

bleach once a month.
