WARNING
• Make sure children and pets do not climb onto
the drawer. Engage the Control Lock feature if
needed to prevent children from accidentally
starting a wash cycle.
NOTE
• If you use a descaler or drum cleaner during the
Tub Clean cycle, use the Rinse+Spin option to
rinse the washer drum before running your next
wash cycle.
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.
• After descaling, always run the Tub Clean cycle
before washing clothing.
• Mineral scale and other spots may be removed
from the stainless steel drum 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 and
drawer open overnight to allow air to circulate and
dry the drum. This helps prevent odors.
WARNING
• Do not allow children or pets to play on, in or
with the appliance. Close supervision is
necessary when the appliance is used near
children or pets.
