The Clean Washer with affresh® cycle operation is described below. NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle. Description of Clean Washer with affresh® Cycle Operation: 1. The Clean Washer with affresh® cycle will determine whether clothing or other items are in the washer. 2. If no items are detected in the washer, it will proceed with the cycle. a. If any items are detected in the washer, "rL" (remove load) will be displayed. The door will unlock. Open washer and remove any garments from the washer drum. b. Touch POWER to clear the "rL" code. c. Touch and hold START/PAUSE to restart the cycle. 3. Steam models only: During the first 20 minutes of the cycle, it will activate the steamer but the drum will not spin or fill with water. You may see condensation on the door window during this initial phase. If you are using an affresh® Washer Cleaner tablet, it will not dissolve completely during the steam phase. This is normal. After the cycle is complete, leave the door open slightly to allow for better ventilation and drying of the washer interior. Cleaning the Dispensers After using the Clean Washer with affresh® cycle, you may find some residue buildup in the washer's dispensers. To remove residue from the single load dispenser, remove the drawer and wipe the surfaces with an affresh® Machine Cleaning Wipe or a damp cloth and towel dry either before or after you run the Clean Washer with affresh® cycle. Use an all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed. On some models: To remove residue from the Load & Go™ bulk dispenser, lift the handle on the dispenser housing and pull to remove it from the washer cabinet; then rinse the dispenser thoroughly with running water. Wipe the outside dispenser surface with an affresh® Machine Cleaning Wipe or a damp cloth, and towel dry. Use an all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed. Replace the dispenser in the washer cabinet and make sure that it is correctly seated. IMPORTANT: Dispensers are not dishwasher-safe. Cleaning the Outside of the Washer Use an affresh® Machine Cleaning Wipe or a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills. Occasionally wipe the outside of your washer to help keep it looking new. Use an affresh® Machine Cleaning Wipe or mild soap and water. IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer's finish, do not use abrasive products. CLEAN WASHER CYCLE REMINDER NOTE: Not all models have the Clean Washer with affresh® cycle reminder light. The Clean Washer with affresh® LED will flash at the end of a wash cycle when the washer has run 30 wash cycles. This is a reminder to run the Clean Washer with affresh® cycle. If the Clean Washer with affresh® cycle is not turned on, the LED will stop flashing at the end of a wash cycle after running three more regular wash cycles. After 30 more wash cycles are completed, the Clean Washer with affresh® LED will again flash at the end of a wash cycle as a reminder. REMOVING THE DISPENSER (cont.)
