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.

cleaning process.
■ If necessary, the cleaning cycle may be interrupted by
pressing the DELICATES AND KNITS button twice. However,
this will not immediately stop the cycle. The machine will
continue with several rinse and drain steps to ensure that all
remaining bleach is rinsed from the washer.

the washer.
2. Use liquid chlorine bleach:
Open the dispenser drawer and immediately add
160 mL ( 2 /
3
cup) of liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach
compartment.
NOTE: Do not add any detergent to this cycle. Use of more
than 160 mL (
2 /

cup) of bleach will cause product damage
over time.

to allow for better ventilation and drying of washer interior.
