NOTE: The water in the washer will
dispense for a moment, then the door
will unlock, lock again, and then the
cycle will continue with another check
for items in the washer.
The machine will fill and run a short
cycle to determine whether any items
have been left in the washer. This will
take approximately 3 minutes.
The washer will repeat Step 5 until it
can determine that there are no items
in the washer and will display “Ab”
(Add Bleach).
7. Add liquid chlorine bleach.
a) If using the maintenance procedure for
the first time, open the dispenser drawer
and immediately add 1 cup (236.6 mL)
liquid chlorine bleach to the Main Wash
detergent compartment. The liquid chlo-
rine bleach should immediately flow out
of the dispenser.
b) For subsequent monthly maintenance
procedures, open the dispenser drawer
and immediately add 1/3 cup (78.8 mL)
liquid chlorine bleach to the Main Wash
detergent compartment. The liquid chlo-
rine bleach should immediately flow out
of the dispenser.
NOTES:
Water will be flowing into the dispenser
drawer when the bleach is added. This
is normal.
Do not add any detergent to this cleaning
cycle. Use of more than 1 cup (236.6 mL)
of bleach will cause product damage
over time.
8. Once the cleaning cycle has begun, allow
the cycle to complete. An estimated cycle
time will appear on the display.
9. After the cleaning cycle is complete, leave
the door open, slightly, to allow for better
ventilation and drying of washer interior.
10. Replace the detergent compartment divider.

Always do the following to maintain washer
freshness
Use only HE High Efficiency detergent.
Leave the door slightly open after each cycle
to allow for better ventilation and drying of
washer interior.
Run the monthly maintenance procedure
using 1/3 cup (78.8 mL) of liquid chlorine
bleach.
If the procedure does not sufficiently improve
the machine freshness, evaluate your installa-
tion and usage conditions for other causes.
Cleaning the exterior
To avoid damaging the exterior finish, do not
use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive clean-
ers, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths or some
paper towels on stainless steel surfaces.
To clean the stainless steel surfaces of the
washer, use a stainless steel wipe. Rub in the
direction of the grain. To order stainless steel
wipes, refer to the “Assistance or Service”
section of the “Use & Care Guide.” Ask for
Part Number 8212510.
To clean the optional decorative mat, remove
it from the top of the washer and clean both
sides with an all-purpose cleaner. Rinse with
water and dry with a soft lint-free cloth. Place
it back on top of the washer.
Cleaning the dispenser drawer
The dispenser drawer is removable for easy
cleaning.
1. Unlock the dispenser drawer by pressing
the Release Lever in the Prewash compart-
ment. See “Using the Dispenser,” page 3-11.
Remove the drawer.
2. Remove the inserts (the siphon from the
softener and bleach compartments and the
separator).
3. Wash the parts under running water.
4. Replace the inserts and return the dispenser
to the drawer.
