CYCLE
Some

can
cause a residue
to build
up in the tub over time
and

to remove
this
buildup
using bleach
or other
cleaners
designed
specifically
for cleaning
washing
machines.

cycle once a month,
or more
often

any clothing
from the tub.
2. Fill the
bleach
dispenser
to the
MAX
line with
liquid
chlorine
bleach.
Do not overfill
the bleach
dispenser.
Overfilling
will cause the bleach
to dis-
pense
immediately.

the
cleaner
manufacturer's
instructions
and recommen-
dations.
