REGULAR CLEANING
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
Proper care of your washer can extend its life. The
outside of the machine can be cleaned with warm
water and a mild, nonabrasive household detergent.
Lid: Wash with a damp cloth on the outside and
inside, then dry with a soft cloth.
Exterior: Immediately wipe off any spills with a soft,
damp cloth. Do not touch the surface or the display
with sharp objects.
IMPORTANT: Do not use solvents, cleaning
alcohols, or similar products. Never use steel wool
or abrasive cleaners because they can damage the
surface.
CARE AND CLEANING OF THE INTERIOR
Use a towel or soft cloth to wipe around the washer
lid opening and lid glass.
Always remove items from the washer as soon as
the cycle is complete. Leaving damp items in the
washer can cause wrinkling, color transfer, and odor.
Run the Tub Clean cycle once a month, or more
often if needed, to remove detergent buildup and
other residue.
TUB CLEAN CYCLE
Some environmental and usage conditions can
cause a residue to build up in the tub over time and
can lead to a mildewy or musty smell. The Tub Clean
cycle is specially designed to remove this buildup
using bleach or other cleaners designed specifically
for cleaning washing machines. Run the Tub Clean
cycle once a month, or more often under heavy use
conditions or if odor is present
1. Remove any clothing from the tub.
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 tub cleaning 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 after removing the liquid
detergent dispenser insert.
3. Close the lid and press the POWER button to turn
the washer ON. Press the TUB CLEAN button to
select the Tub Clean cycle then press the START/
PAUSE button to begin the cycle. Selecting any
other cycle after Tub Clean has been selected will
cause the Tub Clean cycle to be cancelled.
4. After the cycle ends, open the lid and allow the
tub interior to dry completely.
NOTE:
y Never load laundry while using TUB CLEAN. The
laundry may be damaged or contaminated with
cleaning products. Make sure to run the Tub Clean
cycle ONLY when the tub is empty.
y It is recommended to leave the lid open after
finishing the laundry to keep the tub clean.
y It is recommended that Tub Clean should be
repeated monthly.
REMOVING MINERAL BUILDUP
If you live in an area with hard water, mineral scale
can form on internal components of the washer. Use
of a water softener is recommended in areas with
hard water.
Use a descaler, such as Washer Magic
®
, to remove
visible mineral buildup. After descaling, always run
the Tub Clean cycle before washing clothing.
Mineral scale and other spots may be removed from
the stainless steel tub using a stainless steel cleaner.
