WASHER CARE (cont.)
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.
a.
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 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 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 mild soap and water.
IMPORTANT:
To avoid damaging the washer’s finish, do not
use abrasive products.
3. Lift off cover panel by
pulling straight up.
To replace:
1.
Slide cover panel back onto
posts on dispenser.

then slide dispenser

REMOVING THE DISPENSER

Pull dispenser drawer out until it stops.
2.
Press down on the release tab and pull straight out to
remove the dispenser.
