36 MAINTENANCE • For other drum cleaning products, follow the cleaner manufacturer's instructions and recommendations. • Do not exceed the maximum fill line when adding bleach or powdered cleaners. Powdered cleaners may remain in the drum after cleaning. 3 Close the door and press the Power button. 4 Select the Tub Clean cycle and press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle. 5 After the cycle ends, open the door and allow the drum interior to dry completely. WARNING • Make sure children and pets do not climb into the drum. Engage the Control Lock feature if needed to prevent children from accidentally starting a wash cycle. NOTE • If you use a descaler or drum cleaner during the Tub Clean cycle, use the Speed Wash option to rinse the washer drum before running your next wash cycle. Automatic Alert for Tub Clean When the power is on and the tcL message blinks on the display, it means the washer drum needs cleaning. Use the Tub Clean cycle to clean the washer drum. The frequency of the automatic alert's appearance depends on how often the washer is used. However, the message will generally appear every one to two months. • Mineral scale and other spots may be removed from the stainless steel drum using a soft cloth soaked in stainless steel cleaner. • Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleaners. Leaving the Door Open After you finish using the appliance, leave the door open overnight to allow air to circulate and dry the drum. This helps prevent odors. In high-traffic areas or where space is tight, use the magnetic door stop to keep the door slightly ajar. To use, gently close the door until the magnet just contacts the inner door frame. Cleaning the Dispenser Drawer Leaving detergent in the detergent dispenser drawer for an extended period of time or using the washer for a long period of time may cause the build-up of residue in the detergent dispenser drawer. Remove and clean the detergent dispenser drawer once or twice a month. WARNING • Do not spray water inside the washer. Doing so may cause fire or electric shock. 1 Turn off the washer, and unplug the power cord. 2 Pull the drawer straight out until it stops. 3 Press down hard on the disengage button a and pull the drawer completely out. Removing Mineral Buildup In areas with hard water, mineral scale can form on internal components of the washer. Periodically clean the mineral buildup on the internal components to extend the lifespan of the washer. Use of a water softener is recommended in areas with hard water. • Use a descaler to remove visible mineral buildup on the washer drum. • After descaling, always run the Tub Clean cycle before washing clothing. 4 Remove the inserts from the drawer. 5 Clean the inserts and drawer with warm water. • Use a soft cloth or brush to clean and to remove any residue. • Do not use soap when cleaning the drawer and inserts.
