2 Fill the bleach dispenser to the MAX line with liquid chlorine bleach. Do not overfill the bleach dispenser. Overfilling will cause the bleach to dispense immediately.
NOTE: For other drum clearing products, follow the cleaner manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations. For powdered cleaning products, add the cleaner to the main wash compartment of the dispenser drawer. Place tablet cleaners directly into the drum.
3 Press the START/PAUSE button to start the cycle.
4 After the cycle has ended, secure the door slightly ajar with the door magnet. This will promote air circulation and allow the interior of the machine to dry. To use this feature, close the door just until it contacts the door magnet.
NOTE: Do NOT use this cycle with clothes, and do NOT add detergent or fabric softener.

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
CONTROL LOCK
Use this option to disable the controls. The washer can only be locked during a cycle. This feature can prevent children from
changing cycles or operating the machine. Once set, the controls remain locked and
must be turned OFF before the controls can be used again. Once the washer has shut off, the power button will allow the machine to be turned ON, but the controls will still be locked. When the controls are locked, the CONTROL LOCK LED will illuminate and “CL” will display alternately with the estimated time remaining.
Press and hold the CONTROL LOCK button for five seconds to activate or deactivate the controls.
CLEAN WASHER
Detergent residue can build up in the wash drum over time and can lead to a mildewy
or musty smell. The CLEAN WASHER cycle is specially designed to remove this buildup
using bleach or another cleaner designed specifically for cleaning front load washers. Run the CLEAN WASHER cycle once a month, or more often under heavy use conditions or if odor is present. See complete instructions in the CARE AND CLEANING section on page 24.
