24 Care & Cleaning IMPORTANT DO NOT load garments or other items in the washer when cleaning the inside of the washer. TO REFRESH WASH DRUM Perform the SYSTEM CLEAN cycle to refresh the wash drum follow these steps: 1. Wake up the washer by pressing any button, rotate cycle knob to the hand wash cycle, press the start button and then the cancel button. 2. Wake up the washer again by pressing any button, then immediately and simultaneously press and hold both the eco friendly and control lock buttons for 5 seconds, or until the LCD display changes. 3. Remove all clothing from the drum, add 1 cup liquid chlorine bleach to the empty wash drum, and press start. This maintenance cycle uses hot water and two rinses to remove residue that may cause odor. NOTE The washer will automatically prompt you to run the SYSTEM CLEAN cycle every 50 cycles. You may press the cancel button to manually perform the cycle at another time. OTHER INSIDE CLEANING • Before cleaning the washer interior, unplug the electrical power cord to avoid electrical shock hazards. • Dry around the washer door opening, flexible gasket, and door glass. These areas should always be clean to ensure a water tight seal. • When extremely soiled items have been washed, a dirty residue may remain on the drum. Remove this by wiping the drum with a nonabrasive household cleanser. Rinse thoroughly with water. • Periodically, wipe dry the folds in the bottom of the flexible gasket to remove lint and other debris. • The drum vanes may become stained from fabric dye. Clean these parts with a nonabrasive household cleanser to prevent dye transfer to future loads.
