Automatic Alert for Tub Clean
When the power is on and the
on the display, it means the washer drum needs
cleaning. Use the Tub Clean cycle to clean the
washer drum. The frequency of the automatic
alert's appearance depends on how often the
washer is used. However, the message will
generally appear every one to two months.
Removing Mineral Buildup
In areas with hard water, mineral scale can form
on internal components of the washer. Periodically
clean the mineral buildup on the internal
components to extend the lifespan of the washer.
Use of a water softener is recommended in areas
with hard water.
• Use a descaler to remove visible mineral buildup
on the washer drum.

before washing clothing.
