Exterior of the Washer

Immediately wipe off any spills with a damp cloth.

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. 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:

Ŷ

 Run 

Basket Clean

 with 1 Cup (250 ml) of bleach once a month.

Ŷ

 After the completion of a 

Basket Clean

 cycle, the interior of 

your washer may have a bleach smell.

Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric shock only during servicing.

Service personnel – DO NOT

 contact the following parts while the appliance is energized: Drive Motor, Lid Lock, 

Water Valves, Drain Pump and Recirculation Pump.
