Care and Cleaning

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 

Bulky

 cycle on 

the control panel. This 

Bulky

 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 

Bulky

 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 

Bulky

 cycle. Push the 

Start

 

button.

4.  When the 

Bulky

 cycle is working, the display will show the 

estimated cycle time remaining. Do not interrupt the cycle.

IMPORTANT:

Ŷ

 Run 

Bulky

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

Ŷ

 After the completion of a 

Bulky

 cycle, the interior of your 

washer may have a bleach smell.
