Care & Cleaning
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.
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.
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,
press select when prompted during automated
reminder mode or manually select the cycle in the
specialty cycles section.
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.
Inside Routine Cleaning (Preventative)
CAUTION
ENTRAPMENT and TIP-OVER HAZARD
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 mildew and odor build up.
Immediately follow up with a spin only
cycle. Select extra rinse on max spin
speed with no detergent or bleach to
help clear any residual bleach or cleaner
left after the CLEAN WASHER cycle.
For best results
If installed, remove the “MAIN WASH - LIQUID
ONLY” cup from the dispenser. REMOVE ALL
ITEMS FROM WASH DRUM before fi lling the
“MAIN WASH” 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.
WARNING
HARMFUL VAPOR HAZARD
Do not use or mix liquid chlorine bleach with other
household chemicals such as toilet cleaners, rust
removers, acid or products containing ammonia.
These mixtures can produce dangerous fumes
which can cause serious injury or death.
