Care and cleaning of the washer.
Cleaning the Interior
of the Washer
To clean the interior of the washer, select the
Basket Clean feature on the control panel. This
Basket Clean cycle should be performed, at a
minimum, once per month. This cycle will use
more water, in addition to bleach, to control
the rate at which soils and detergents may
accumulate in your washer.
NOTE: Read the instructions below completely
before starting the Basket Clean cycle.
1. Remove any garments or objects from the
washer and ensure the washer basket is
empty.
2. Open the washer lid and pour one cup or 250
ml of liquid bleach or other washing machine
cleaner into the basket.
3. Close the lid and select the Basket Clean
cycle. Push the Start button.
4. When the Basket Clean cycle is working, the
display will show the estimated cycle time
remaining. The cycle will complete in about
90 minutes. Do not interrupt the cycle.
Basket Clean may be interrupted by pressing the
Start button in between cycles. A power outage
in the house might also interrupt the cycle. When
the power supply is back, the Basket Clean cycle
resumes where it had stopped. When interrupted,
be sure to run a complete Basket Clean cycle
before using the washer. If the Power button is
pressed during Basket Clean , the cycle will be
lost.
IMPORTANT:
„
Run Basket Clean with 1 Cup (250 ml) of
bleach once a month.

After the completion of a Basket Clean cycle,
the interior of your washer may have a bleach
smell.
