Care & Cleaning 35 Inside Routine Cleaning (Preventative) 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. CAUTION ENTRAPMENT and TIP-OVER HAZARD An open door could entice children to hang on the door or crawl inside the washer. If there are no small children present, you may leave the door ajar to prevent mildew and odor build up. TO REFRESH OR CLEAN INSIDE OF WASHER To clean and freshen the washer, perform the CLEAN WASHER cycle. For best results use the CLEAN WASHER cycle once a month. To begin the cycle, press select when prompted during automated reminder mode or manually select the cycle in the specialty cycles section. PRESS SPECIALTY CYCLES BUTTON, THEN ROTATE CYCLE SELECTOR KNOB TO CHOOSE CLEAN WASHER CYCLE. IMPORTANT Items left in washer while performing the CLEAN WASHER cycle will cause a severe out-of-balance situation that could damage the washing machine.

Press start to begin. For best results Immediately follow up with a spin only cycle. Select extra rinse on max spin speed with no detergent or bleach to help clear any residual bleach or cleaner left after the CLEAN WASHER cycle. NOTE If the CLEAN WASHER 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 unlocking the door. REMOVE "LIQUID ONLY" DISPENSER CUP "MAIN WASH" COMPARTMENT 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.
