Care and Cleaning

Inside Routine Cleaning (Preventive)

To help prevent odors, mold or mildew, leave the door open for a few hours after use or whenever the washer is not in use.

CAUTION

ENTRAPMENT and TIP-OVER HAZARD

Do not leave the door open if there are small children or pets present. An open door could entice children to hang on the door or crawl inside the washer. If there are no small children present, you may leave the door ajar to prevent odor build up.

TO REFRESH OR CLEAN INSIDE OF WASHER

To clean and freshen the washer, perform the Clean Washer cycle. For best results use the Clean Washer cycle once a month.

To begin the cycle, rotate cycle knob to Clean Washer. If installed, remove the “LIQUID ONLY” cup from the dispenser. REMOVE ALL ITEMS FROM WASH DRUM before ﬁlling the detergent chamber with one (1) cup of liquid chlorine bleach OR one (1) pouch of TIDE® WASHING MACHINE CLEANER. DO NOT use both. Press START to begin.

IMPORTANT

Items left in washer while performing the Clean Washer cycle will cause a severe out-of-balance situation that could damage the washing machine.

For best results

Immediately follow up with a Rinse & Spin cycle on Extra High Spin Speed with no detergent or bleach to help clear any residual bleach left after the Clean Washer cycle.

NOTE

If the Clean Washer cycle is cancelled or paused during the cycle, the washer will go through 2 rinse cycles to clean the drum of any residual bleach before unlocking the door.

Turn cycle selector to Clean Washer.
