2.Close the washer door.

3.Open the dispenser drawer and immediately add ²⁄₃ cup

(160 mL) of liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment.

a)If no items are detected in the washer, it will proceed to Step 8.

b)If any items are detected in the washer, “rL” or “F-34” will be displayed, and the WASH and CONTROLS LOCKED lights will remain lit. The door will unlock.

■Press STOP to cancel the failure code. Then repeat steps 1, 2 and 6 to start the cycle again.

8.Once the cycle has begun, allow the cycle to complete.

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