Description of Clean Washer Cycle Operation:

1.The Clean Washer cycle will determine whether clothing or other items are in the washer.

2.If no items are detected in the washer, it will proceed to step 3.

b.Press PAUSE/CANCEL or POWER/CANCEL to clear the “rL” code.

c.Press START to restart the cycle.

3.After the cycle is complete, leave the door open slightly to allow for better ventilation and drying of the washer interior.

Cancellation of Clean Washer Cycle Operation:

If the Clean Washer cycle is canceled by the user after it has been initiated, it may take up to 30 minutes for the washer to purge any affresh® Cleaner, chlorine bleach, or other chemistry from the wash system and to adequately rinse any remaining chemistry. The washer door will remain locked until the cancellation process has been completed. This assures no cleaning chemistry will be carried over to the next wash cycle and reduces the potential for damage to subsequent loads of laundry or to the machine itself.
