Care And Cleaning - Kenmore 970.C4808 Series Use & Care Manual

Inside Routine Cleaning (Preventive)
To help prevent odors, mold or mildew, leave the door
open for a few hours after use or whenever the washer is
not in use.
CAUTION
ENTRAPMENT and TIP-OVER HAZARD
Do not leave the door open if there are small children or
pets present. An open door could entice children to hang
on the door or crawl inside the washer. If there are no
small children present, you may leave the door ajar to
prevent odor build up.
TO REFRESH OR CLEAN INSIDE OF WASHER
To clean and freshen the washer, perform the Clean
Washer cycle. For best results use the Clean Washer
cycle once a month. To begin the cycle, press Select when
prompted during automated reminder mode or manually
select the cycle by following these directions:
Rotate cycle knob to Spin Only. Then press the Clean Washer
option button. The LCD screen will display "
CLEAN ".
NOTE
The washer will automatically prompt you to run the
Clean Washer cycle every 50 cycles. You may press
the CANCEL button to manually perform the cycle at
another time.
IMPORTANT
Items left in washer while performing the Clean Washer
cycle will cause a severe out-of-balance situation that
could damage the washing machine.
If installed, remove the "LIQUID ONLY" cup from the
dispenser. REMOVE ALL ITEMS FROM WASH DRUM before
fi lling the detergent chamber with one (1) cup of liquid
chlorine bleach OR one (1) pouch of TIDE
MACHINE CLEANER. DO NOT use both. Press START to
begin.
For best results
Immediately follow up with a Rinse &
Spin cycle on Extra High Spin Speed
with no detergent or bleach to help
clear any residual bleach left after the
Clean Washer cycle.
NOTE
If the Clean Washer cycle is cancelled or paused during
the cycle, the washer will go through 2 rinse cycles to
clean the drum of any residual bleach before unlocking
the door.
