36 MAINTENANCE
• For other tub cleaning products, follow the
cleaner manufacturer's instructions and
recommendations.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line when
adding bleach or powdered cleaners.
Powdered cleaners may remain in the tub
after cleaning.
3
Close the lid and press the Power button to
turn on the washer.
4
Turn the knob or press the cycle buttons to
select the Tub Clean cycle then press the
Start/Pause button to begin the cycle.
5
After the cycle ends, open the lid and allow
the tub interior to dry completely.
WARNING
• Make sure children and pets do not climb into
the tub. Engage the Control Lock feature if
needed to prevent children from accidentally
starting a wash cycle.
NOTE
• If you use a descaler or tub cleaner during the
Tub Clean cycle, use the Rinse+Spin option to
rinse the washer tub before running your next
wash cycle.
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 tub.
• After descaling, always run the Tub Clean cycle
before washing clothing.
• Mineral scale and other spots may be removed
from the stainless steel tub using a soft cloth
soaked in stainless steel cleaner.
• Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleaners.
Leaving the Lid Open
After you finish using the washer, leave the lid
open overnight to allow air to circulate and dry the
tub. This helps prevent odors.
Cleaning the Dispenser Drawer
Detergent and fabric softener may build up in the
dispenser drawer. Remove the drawer and inserts
and check for buildup once or twice a month.
WARNING
• Do not spray water inside the washer. Doing so
may cause fire or electric shock.
1
Turn off the washer, and unplug the power
cord.

Remove the drawer by pulling it straight out
until it stops. Lift the front of the drawer
upwards and pull it completely out.
3
Remove the inserts from the two
compartments.
4
Clean the inserts and drawer with warm
water.
• Use a soft cloth or brush to clean and
remove any residue.
• Do not use soap when cleaning the drawer
and inserts.
