Open the dispenser drawer and immediately add 2/3 cup (160 mL) of liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment.

b)Wipe the seal/bellow area with the dilute solution, using a damp cloth.

Maintenance Instructions:

This washer has a special cycle that uses higher water volumes in combination with liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the inside of the washer.

NOTES:

nRead these instructions completely before beginning the cleaning process.

nIf necessary, the cleaning cycle may be interrupted by pressing the lower-right (QUICK CYCLE) button twice. However, this will not immediately stop the cycle. The washer will continue with several rinse and drain steps to ensure that all remaining bleach is rinsed from the washer.

NOTE: The door will lock, the basket will rotate 1/2 turn, then the door will unlock and lock again, then the Washer Cleanout Cycle will continue.

nThe washer will not fill, but the basket will rotate while the washer runs a short sensing cycle. This will take approximately 3 minutes.

5.The cycle will determine whether clothing or other items are in the washer.

a) If no items are detected in the washer, it will proceed to Step 7.

b) If any items are detected in the washer, “F-34” will be displayed. Then the door will unlock.

nEnter the service mode and then press and hold the lower-right (QUICK CYCLE) button to cancel the failure code.

Then repeat steps 1, 3, and 4 to start the cycle again.

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

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