feature on the control panel. This Basket Clean cycle should
be performed, at a minimum, once per month. This cycle will
use more water, in addition to bleach, to control the rate at
which soils and detergents may accumulate in your washer.

the Basket Clean cycle.
1. Remove any garments or objects from the washer and
ensure the washer basket is empty.
2. Open the washer lid and pour one cup or 250
ml of liquid bleach or other washing machine
cleaner into the basket.
3. Close the lid and select the Basket Clean cycle. Push the
Start button.
4. When the Basket Clean cycle is working, the display will show
the estimated cycle time remaining. Do not interrupt the cycle.
