WASHER MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR WASHER
Keep your washer as clean and fresh as your clothes.
To keep washer interior odor-free, follow this recommended
monthly cleaning procedure:
1. Make sure the washer is empty.
2. Using recommended AFFRESH
® washer cleaner,
add one tablet to washer drum
OR
If using liquid chlorine bleach, add 1 cup (250 mL) to
liquid chlorine bleach dispenser.
IMPORTANT: Do not add detergent to CLEAN WASHER
with AFFRESH ™ cycle. Do not use more than recommended
amount of bleach to avoid damaging product over time.
3. Close washer lid.
4. Press POWER.
5. Select CLEAN WASHER with AFFRESH
™ cycle.
6. Press START/Pause/Unlock. Water will pour into
washer for a moment and pause, lid will lock, then
cycle will continue.
NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle. If cycle must
be interrupted, press Power and run a RINSE AND SPIN
cycle to ensure cleaner or bleach have been rinsed from
washer.
To clean exterior:
1. Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills.
2. Use all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer’s finish,
do not use abrasive products.
Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk
of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses
if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of
replacement on the label with a permanent marker.

Press START/Pause/Unlock to
begin wash cycle
Press the START/Pause/Unlock button to start the wash
cycle. Filling is delayed for several minutes while load balance
is sensed. When the cycle has finished, the DONE indicator
will light and the end of cycle signal will sound (if set).
Promptly remove garments after cycle has completed to
avoid odor, reduce wrinkling, and rusting of metal hooks,
zippers, and snaps.
Unlocking the lid to add garments
If you need to open the lid to add 1 or 2 missed garments:
Press START/Pause/Unlock; the lid will unlock once the
washer movement has stopped. This may take several minutes
if the load was spinning at high speed. Then close lid and
press START/Pause/Unlock again to restart the cycle.
If lid is left open for more than 10 minutes the water will
pump out automatically.
Delay in water fill
Filling is delayed for 2 to 3 minutes to check for load unbalance.
You will hear the hum of the spin prior to filling. This is normal
operation.
