CLEANING YOUR WASHER
Keep your washer as clean and fresh as your clothes.
To keep washer interior odor-free, follow this recommended
cleaning procedure at least once a month:
1. Make sure laundry drum is empty.
2. Using recommended AFFRESH ® washer cleaner, add
one tablet to washer basket.
OR
If using liquid chlorine bleach, add 1 cup (250 mL) to
liquid chlorine bleach dispenser.
IMPORTANT: Do not add detergent to Clean Washer
with Affresh ® cycle. Do not use more than recommended
amount of bleach to avoid damaging product over time.
3. Close washer door.
4. Press POWER/CANCEL
5. Select Clean Washer with Affresh
TM
cycle.
6. Press and hold START/PAUSE.
NOTE: The basket will rotate, then the door will unlock,
lock again, and then the cycle will continue. The washer
will add some water, and the basket will rotate while
the washer runs a short sensing cycle. This will take
approximately 3 minutes.
7. The cycle will determine whether clothing or other items
are in the washer. If no items are detected in the washer,
it will proceed to Step 8.
If any items are detected in the washer, "rL" will be
displayed, and the WASH and CONTROL LOCK
indicators will light. The door will unlock. Open and
remove any garments in the wash drum. Press POWER/
CANCEL to cancel the error message. Then repeat
steps 3-6 to start the cycle again.
8. Once the cycle has started, allow it to finish. If you must
cancel the cycle before it has finished, press POWER/
CANCEL. "lnt" (Interrupted) will appear in the display.
It may take up to 10 minutes for the door to unlock.
9. After the cycle has ended, leave the door open slightly,
to allow for better ventilation and drying of washer
interior.
To clean exterior:
1. Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills.
2. Use mild soap and water if needed.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging washer finish, do not use
abrasive products.
