Washer Maintenance Procedure
This washer has a special cycle that uses higher water volumes in
combination with liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the
inside of the washer.
NOTES:
• Read these instructions completely before beginning the
cleaning process.
• If necessary, the cleaning cycle may be interrupted by
pressing the DELICATES/KNITS button twice. However, this
will not immediately stop the cycle. The washer will continue
with several rinse and drain steps to ensure that all remaining
bleach is rinsed from the washer.
Begin procedure
1. Open the washer door and remove any clothing or items from
the washer.
2. Use liquid chlorine bleach:
Open the dispenser drawer and immediately add
160 mL (2/3 cup) of liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach
compartment.
NOTE: Do not add any detergent to this cycle. Use of more
than 160 mL (2/3 cup) of bleach will cause product damage
over time.
