NOTE
If the washing machine is installed and used in a humid place, bacteria in the air may adhere
to the humid surface of the tub and foster mould growth, which is harmful to your health. To
keep your washing machine tub clean, use the ECO TUB CLEAN cycle once every 1-2 months
(or when the ECO TUB CLEAN indicator turns on) to clean the tub.
CAUTION
•
Only run Eco Tub Clean when the tub is completely empty. This may cause damage to the
laundry or a problem with the washing machine.
•
Depending on the conditions and surroundings in which the washing machine is used,
the degree of contamination in the tub or the result of the ECO TUB CLEAN cycle may
vary. When using the ECO TUB CLEAN cycle, pour 200 ml of chlorine bleach evenly on the
bottom of the tub.
• Excessive use of chlorine bleach may cause product malfunction. Do not mix chlorine
bleach with other substances (such as vinegar, citric and oxygen bleach, etc.)
• Mixing chlorine bleach with these substances can generate harmful gas. When using
chlorine bleach, make sure to ventilate the surrounding area. If you have used the
washing machine for a long time without cleaning the tub or if you are cleaning the
tub for the first time, some residue may remain in the tub after the ECO TUB CLEAN
cycle.
•
Run an additional RINSE+SPIN cycle to completely remove residue. Though stainless tubs
do not rust easily, they may get rusty in the following cases; if rust should occur, wipe
them with neutral detergent on a sponge or soft cloth.
• If any metallic objects (safety pins, hairpins, etc.) that rust easily are left in the tub for
a long time.
