5-4. SPECIAL FUNCTION

CLEAN WASHER
A buildup of detergent residue can occur in the wash tub over time and can lead to a mildewy or musty smell.
The CLEAN WASHER cycle is specially designed to remove this buildup using bleach or other cleaner
designed specifically for cleaning front load washers.
The CLEAN WASHER cycle should be run once a month, or more often under heavy use conditions or if
odor is present.
NOTE:
For powdered tub cleaners, add the cleaner to the main wash compartment of the dispenser drawer. Place
tablet cleaners directly into the tub. Always follow the cleaner manufacturers instructions and
Recommendations
CONTROL LOCK
Use this option to disable the controls. The washer can be locked during a cycle. This feature allows you to
prevent children from changing cycles or operating the machine. Once set, the CONTROL LOCK must be
turned off before the controls can be used. Once the washer has shut off, the power button will allow the
machine to be turned on, but the controls will still be locked. When the controls are locked, "CL" will be
displayed alternately with the estimated time remaining. Press and hold the CONTROL LOCK button for
5 seconds to activate or deactivate the controls.

rinse cycles will be adjusted to optimize wash and rinse performance.

Excessive detergent amount: rinsing cycle increase.
Insufficient detergent amount: washing time increase.
A small amount of remaining detergent detected: additional rinsing will be added.
DRUM LIGHT
The drum is equipped with a blue LED light that illuminates when the washer is turned ON.
