WASHER MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR WASHER
Keep your washer as clean and fresh as your clothes.
To keep washer interior odor-free, follow this recommended
cleaning procedure at least once a month:
1. Make sure laundry drum is empty.
2. Using recommended AFFRESH
®
washer cleaner, add
one tablet to washer basket
OR
If using liquid chlorine bleach, add 1 cup (250 mL) to
liquid chlorine bleach dispenser.
IMPORTANT: Do not add detergent to CLEAN WASHER
cycle. Do not use more than recommended amount of
bleach to avoid damaging product over time.
3. Close washer door.
4. Press POWER.
5. Select CLEAN WASHER with Affresh
cycle.
6. Press and hold START/PAUSE.
NOTE: The basket will rotate, then the door will unlock,
lock again, and then the cycle will continue. The washer
will add some water, and the basket will rotate while
the washer runs a short sensing cycle. This will take
approximately 3 minutes.
7. The cycle will determine whether clothing or other items
are in the washer. If no items are detected in the washer,
it will proceed to Step 8.
If any items are detected in the washer, “rL” will be
displayed, and the WASH and CONTROL LOCK lights
will light. The door will unlock. Open and remove any
garments in the wash drum. Press POWER to cancel the
error message. Then repeat steps 3–6 to start the cycle
again.
8. Once the cycle has started, allow it to nish. If you must
cancel the cycle before it has nished, press POWER.
“Int” (Interrupted) will appear in the display. It may take
up to 10 minutes for the door to unlock.
9. After the cycle has ended, leave the door open slightly,
to allow for better ventilation and drying of washer
interior.
To clean exterior:
1. Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills.
2. Use mild soap and water if needed.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging washer nish, do not use
abrasive products.
13. Remove garments promptly
after cycle is nished
Promptly remove garments after cycle has
completed to avoid odor and rusting of
metal objects on garments. When unloading
garments, pull back the door seal and check
for small items between the tub and the basket.
If you will be unable to remove the load
promptly, use the FanFresh
option. If the
FanFresh
option is selected, the washer will
automatically activate the fan and tumble
the load periodically for up to 16 hours.
NOTE:
n
After any wash cycle is completed,
the door must be opened and then
closed before a new cycle can begin.
n
A small amount of water may remain in the dispensers after
the wash cycle is complete. This is normal.
n
This washer has a tight seal to avoid water leaks. To avoid
odors, leave the door open to allow the washer to dry
between uses.
