Washer Maintenance Procedure
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:
■ Read these instructions completely before beginning
the cleaning process.
■ If necessary, the cleaning cycle may be interrupted by
pressing the
UPPER RIGHT
key pad 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.
Begin procedure
1. Open the washer door and remove any clothing or items
from the washer.
2. Use liquid chlorine bleach:
Open the dispenser drawer and immediately add
2
⁄3
cup (160 mL) of liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach
compartment.
NOTE: Do not add any detergent to this cycle. Use of more
than
2
⁄3
cup (160 mL) of bleach will cause product damage
over time.
3. Close the washer door and the dispenser drawer.
4. To start the Clean Washer cycle, first enter “Start Operating
Set-up.” Then press and hold
UPPER RIGHT
for 1 second.
With the entire display flashing, press
BRIGHTS
.
NOTE: The door will lock, the drum will rotate a ½ turn,
then the door will unlock, lock again, and then the cycle
will continue.
■ The washer will not fill, but the drum 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, “rL” or “F-34”
will be displayed. Then the door will unlock.
■ Press
UPPER RIGHT
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.
Always do the following to maintain washer freshness:
■ Use only “HE” High Efficiency detergent.
■ Leave the door slightly open after each cycle to allow
for better ventilation and drying of washer interior.
■ Clean the washer monthly using the Washer Maintenance
Procedure and
2
⁄3
cup (160 mL)
of liquid chlorine bleach.
■ If the procedure does not sufficiently improve the washer
freshness, please evaluate your installation and usage
conditions for other causes.
Cleaning the exterior
Use a soft damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills.
Occasionally wipe the outside of your washer to keep it looking
new. Use mild soap and water. Do not use abrasive products.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The dispenser drawer is removable for easy cleaning.
1. Unlock the dispenser drawer by pressing the Release Lever.
Remove the drawer.
2. Remove the inserts (the siphon from the softener and bleach
compartments).
3. Wash the parts under running water.
NOTE: Do not wash components in the dishwasher.
4. Re-install the inserts and return the dispenser to the drawer.
Water Inlet Hoses
Replace water inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk
of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace water inlet hoses
if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
When replacing your water inlet hoses, mark the date
of replacement.
