36 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 clean and freshen the washer. To begin the cycle, press select when prompted. The next screen will instruct you to remove all items from the wash drum, fill the bleach dispenser 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 button under EXIT 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.
