NOTE
• Never load laundry while using Tub Clean. The

cleaning products. Make sure to run the Tub Clean
cycle only when the drum is empty.
• Leave the door open after finishing the laundry, to
keep the drum clean.
• Tub Clean should be repeated monthly.
• If mildew or musty smell already exists, run Tub
Clean once a week for three consecutive weeks.
• For other drum cleaning products, follow
the cleaner manufacturer’s instructions and
recommendations.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line when adding
bleach or powdered cleaners. Powdered detergent
may remain in the drum after cleaning.
Automatic Alert for Tub Clean
When the power is on and the message blinks
on the display, it means the washer drum needs
cleaning. Use the Tub Clean cycle to clean the
washer drum. The frequency of the automatic alert's
appearance depends on how often the washer is
used, however the message will generally appear
every one to two months.
Removing Mineral Buildup
In areas with hard water, mineral scale can form on
internal components of the washer. Periodically clean
the mineral buildup on the internal components to
extend the lifespan of the washer. Use of a water
softener is recommended in areas with hard water.
• Use a descaler, such as Washer Magic®, to
remove visible mineral buildup on the washer drum.
After descaling, always run the Tub Clean cycle
before washing clothing.
•
Mineral scale and other spots may be removed
from the stainless steel drum using a soft cloth
soaked in stainless steel cleaner.
•
Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleaners.
Cleaning the Dispenser Lid
Detergent and fabric softener may build up in the
dispenser lid. Remove the lid and inserts and check
for buildup once or twice a month.
1
Slide the detergent dispenser lid open.
2
Remove the detergent dispenser covers and pull
out the detergent cups.
3
Clean parts with warm water.
• Use a soft cloth or brush for cleaning and to
remove any residue.
WARNING
• Do not spray water inside the cabinet. Doing so
may cause fire or electric shock.
4
Wipe off any moisture with a dry towel or cloth
after cleaning.
5
Replace the detergent cups and detergent
dispenser covers.
NOTE
• If you use a descaler or tub cleaner during the Tub
Clean cycle, use the Rinse+Spin cycle to rinse the
washer drum before running your next wash cycle.
