Self Clean

Certain usage and environmental conditions may result in some residue build-up or odor in the washer
tub. To prevent this build-up of residue or odor causing bacteria and keep your washer tub fresh and clean,
perform the SELF CLEAN cycle at least once a month or every 20 cycles. Perform the recommended
procedure below when using the SELF CLEAN cycle.
1. Remove all items from the washer tub and ensure the tub is empty. Laundry left in the tub during the
SELF CLEAN cycle may be damaged.
2. Press POWER to turn on the washer.
3. Turn the Cycle Selector to SELF CLEAN.
4. Press START/PAUSE.
NOTE
• The default water temperature for the SELF CLEAN cycle is Hot and this cannot be changed.
• In the case where residue is present in the washer tub, add 1 cup (8 fl.oz, 240ml) of liquid chlorine bleach
to the bleach compartment before you start the SELF CLEAN cycle.
• Do not use or mix any other detergent or chemicals during the SELF CLEAN cycle. If necessary, run a
RINSE+SPIN cycle after the SELF CLEAN cycle has completed to help remove any remaining residue.
CAUTION
• Check the washer tub before using the SELF CLEAN cycle. Remove any remaining water in the tub by
running a SPIN ONLY cycle prior to starting the SELF CLEAN cycle.
• If there is chlorine bleach left in the washer tub for an extended period of time, rust can occur.
