Tub Clean

Improper installation or use of the washing
machine in a humid space for a long period of time
could lead to a buildup of detergent residue in the
washing machine that may produce mildew or
musty smells. If you clean the washer tub regularly
on a monthly basis using Tub Clean it will minimize
the possibility that detergent residue will build up
and mildew or musty smells may occur.
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, pull out
the liquid detergent cup and add it into the
main wash detergent compartment.
- When you use cleaning tablets, place them
directly into the washer tub. (Do not add tablet
cleaner to the drawer.)
