ENGLISH
• For other drum cleaning products, follow
the cleaner manufacturer’s instructions and
recommendations.
• Do not use any more than 1/4 cup of liquid
bleach. Do not let bleach sit in the tub for a
long period before running the Tub Clean
cycle.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line when
adding powdered cleaners. Powdered
cleaners may remain in the drum after
cleaning.
3 Close the lid and drawer and press the Power
button.
4 Select the Tub Clean cycle and press the
Start/Pause button to begin the cycle.
5 After the cycle ends, open the lid and allow
the drum interior to dry completely.
WARNING
• Make sure children and pets do not climb onto
the drawer. Engage the Child Lock feature if
needed to prevent children from accidentally
starting a wash cycle.
NOTE
• If you use a descaler or drum cleaner during the
Tub Clean cycle, use the Rinse+Spin option to
rinse the washer drum before running your next
wash cycle.
Automatic Alert for Tub Clean
When the power is on and the tcL message blinks
on the display, it means the washer drum needs
cleaning. Use the Tub Clean cycle to clean the
washer drum. The frequency of the automatic
alert’s appearance depends on how often the
washer is used. However, the message will
generally appear every one to two months.
Removing Mineral Buildup
In areas with hard water, mineral scale can form
on internal components of the washer. Periodically
clean the mineral buildup on the internal
components to extend the lifespan of the washer.
Use of a water softener is recommended in areas
with hard water.
• Use a descaler to remove visible mineral buildup
on the washer drum.
• After descaling, always run the Tub Clean cycle
before washing clothing.
• Mineral scale and other spots may be removed
from the stainless steel drum using a soft cloth
soaked in stainless steel cleaner.
• Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleaners.
Leaving the Lid Open
After you finish using the washer, leave the lid and
drawer open overnight to allow air to circulate and
dry the drum. This helps prevent odors.
WARNING
• Do not allow children or pets to play on, in or
with the appliance. Close supervision is
necessary when the appliance is used near
children or pets.
Cleaning the Water Inlet Filters
If the washer does not fill properly, an error
message will appear on the display. The inlet valve
filter screens could be clogged by hard water scale,
sediment in the water supply, or other debris.
WARNING
• The inlet screens protect the delicate parts of the
inlet valve from being damaged by particles that
could enter the valves with the water supply.
Operating the washer with these filters removed
could cause a valve to open continuously,
resulting in flooding and/or property damage.
CAUTION
• Do not use the washer without the inlet filters.
Doing so will cause leaks and malfunction.
• If you use the washer in an area with hard water,
the inlet filter may clog due to lime buildup and
require more frequent cleaning.
1 Turn off the washer, and unplug the power
cord.
2 Turn off hot and cold water faucets.
