CLEAN WASHER CYCLE REMINDER
NOTE:

cycle reminder light.
The Clean Washer with affresh LED
will flash at the end of a wash cycle
when the washer has run 30 wash
cycles. This is a reminder to run the
Clean Washer with affresh cycle.
If the Clean Washer with affresh cycle is not turned on, the
LED will stop flashing at the end of a wash cycle after running
3 more regular wash cycles. After 30 more wash cycles are
completed, the Clean Washer with affresh LED will again
flash at the end of a wash cycle as a reminder.
Description of Clean Washer with affresh Cycle Operation:
1.
The Clean Washer with affresh cycle will determine whether
clothing or other items are in the washer.
2.
If no items are detected in the washer, it will proceed
with the cycle.

If any items are detected in the washer, “rL”
(remove load) will be displayed. The door will unlock.
Open washer and remove any garments from the
washer drum.
b.
Touch POWER to clear the “rL” code.
c.
Touch and hold START to restart the cycle.
3.
Steam models only:
During the first 20 minutes of the
cycle, it will activate the steamer but the drum will not spin
or fill with water. You may see condensation on the door
glass during this initial phase. If you are using an affresh
Washer Cleaner tablet, it will not dissolve completely during
the steam phase. This is normal.
After the cycle is complete, leave the door open slightly to
allow for better ventilation and drying of the washer interior.
Cleaning the Dispensers
After a period of using your washer, you may find some
residue buildup in the washer’s dispensers. To remove residue
from the dispensers, remove the drawer and wipe
the surfaces with an affresh Machine Cleaning Wipe or a
damp cloth and towel dry either before or after you run the
Clean Washer with affresh cycle. Use an all-purpose surface
cleaner, if needed.
IMPORTANT:
Dispenser is not dishwasher safe.
Cleaning the Outside of the Washer
Use an affresh Machine Cleaning Wipe or a soft, damp cloth
or sponge to wipe up any spills. Occasionally wipe the outside
of your washer to help keep it looking new. Use an affresh
Machine Cleaning Wipe or mild soap and water.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid damaging the washer’s finish,
do not use abrasive products.
