Cleaning the washer.
Cleaning the Interior
of the Washer
To clean the interior of the washer, select
the BasketClean feature on the control
panel. The cycle will use more water,
in addition to bleach, to refresh your
washer.
NOTE: Read the instructions below
completely before starting the
BasketClean cycle.
1. Remove any garments or objects from
the washer and ensure the washer
basket is empty.
2. Open the washer door and pour
one cup or 250 ml of liquid bleach
or other washing machine cleaner
into the basket.
3. Close the door and select the
BasketClean cycle. Push the START
button.
4. When the BasketClean cycle is
working, you will see CLn on the
display. The cycle will complete in
about 90 minutes. Do not interrupt
the cycle.
5. After the cycle is complete, leave
the door open slightly for better
ventilation.
If for any reason the cycle needs to
be interrupted, the door will not open
immediately. Forcing open the door at
this stage may cause water to flood.
The door will open after the water is
drained to a level where it would not
flood the floor.
BasketClean may be interrupted
by pressing the START/PAUSE button
in between cycles. A power outage in
the house might also interrupt the cycle.
When the power supply is back, the
BasketClean cycle resumes where it had
stopped. When interrupted, be sure to run
a complete BasketClean cycle before
using the washer. If the POWER button
is pressed during BasketClean, the cycle
will be lost.
IMPORTANT:
n Run BasketClean with 1 Cup
(250 ml) of bleach once a month.
n After the completion of a BasketClean
cycle, the interior of your washer may
have a bleach smell.
n It is recommended to run a light color
load after the BasketClean cycle.

Do not store the washer where it will be exposed to the weather. When moving the washer,
the tub should be kept stationary by using the shipping bolts removed during installation.
