Washer Maintenance Procedure
This washer has a special cycle that uses higher water volumes
and steam, in combination with liquid chlorine bleach to
thoroughly clean the inside of the washer.

• Read these instructions completely before beginning the
cleaning process.
• If necessary, the cleaning cycle may be interrupted by
pressing the STOP button. However, this will not immediately
stop the cycle. The machine will display "int" (interrupt) and
continue with several rinse and drain steps to ensure that all
remaining bleach is rinsed from the washer.
