Inside Routine Cleaning (Preventive)

WARNING

HARMFUL VAPOR HAZARD

Do not use or mix liquid chlorine bleach with other

household chemicals such as toilet cleaners, rust

removers, acid or products containing ammonia. These

mixtures can produce dangerous fumes which can

To help prevent odors, mold or mildew, leave the door

open for a few hours after use or whenever the washer is

not in use.

once a month. To begin the cycle, press and hold the

spin speed and options buttons simultaneously for 10

seconds until the display changes to

“CLn”.

If the system clean cycle is cancelled or paused

during the cycle, the washer will go through 2 rinse

cycles to clean the drum of any residual bleach before

Immediately follow up with a rinse &

spin cycle. Select fresh rinse on max

spin speed with no detergent or bleach

to help clear any residual bleach left

after the system clean cycle.

For best results

IMPORTANT

Items left in washer while performing the system

clean cycle will cause a severe out-of-balance situation

that could damage the washing machine.

Do not leave the door open if there are small children

or pets present. An open door could entice children to

hang on the door or crawl inside the washer. If there
