22 MAINTENANCE NOTE Never load laundry while using Tub Clean. The laundry may be damaged or contaminated with cleaning products. Make sure to run the Tub Clean cycle only when the tub is empty. Leave the lid (door) open after finishing the laundry, to keep the tub clean. Tub Clean should be repeated monthly. If mildew or musty smell already exists, run Tub Clean once a week for three consecutive weeks. Do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended amount when adding bleach or powdered cleaners. Powdered cleaner may remain in the tub after cleaning. 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 tub. After descaling, always run the Tub Clean cycle before washing clothing. Mineral scale and other spots may be removed from the stainless steel tub using a soft cloth soaked in stainless steel cleaner. Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleaners. Leaving the Lid (Door) Open If the washer will not be used for several days, leave the lid (door) open overnight to allow the tub to dry. Cleaning the Dispenser Drawer Detergent and fabric softener may build up in the dispenser drawer. Remove the drawer and inserts and check for buildup once or twice a month. 1 Remove the drawer by pulling it straight out until it stops. Lift up on the front of the drawer and pull it completely out. 2 Remove the inserts from the two compartments. 3 Clean the inserts and drawer with warm water. Use a soft cloth or brush for cleaning and to remove any residue. WARNING Do not spray water inside the washer. Doing so may cause fire or electric shock. 4 Wipe off any moisture with a dry towel or cloth after cleaning. 5 To clean the drawer opening, use a small, non- metal brush to clean the recess. Remove all residue from the upper and lower parts of the recess. 6 Return the inserts to the proper compartments and replace the drawer. Set the drawer into the opening at an angle, then lower it and slide it into place. NOTE If you use a descaler or tub cleaner during the Tub Clean cycle, use the Rinse+Spin option to rinse the washer tub before running your next wash cycle.
