Care and Cleaning of the Interior Use a towel or soft cloth to wipe around the washer door opening, door seal, and door glass. These areas should be kept clean to ensure a watertight seal. Be sure to wipe under the inside rubber seal to remove any moisture or soil. Always remove items from the washer as soon as the cycle is completed. Leaving damp items in the washer can cause wrinkling, color transfer, and odor. Run the TUB CLEAN cycle regularly to remove detergent buildup and other residue. NOTE: If you use the TUB CLEAN cycle on a monthly basis, the wash drum will be kept clean. (NOTE : Do not add any laundry detergent or fabric softener to the drawer when using TUB CLEAN.) - If using liquid chlorine bleach Add liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment of the drawer. (NOTE : Do not exceed the maximum fill line and do not pour undiluted liquid bleach directly into the wash drum.) - If using powder cleaner Remove the liquid detergent cup and add powder cleaner to the main wash compartment of the drawer. - If using tablet cleaner Add tablet cleaner to the wash drum directly. (NOTE : Do not add tablet cleaner to the drawer.) 4 Close the drawer and washer door. 5 Select TUB CLEAN and press START/PAUSE. Removing stains on the Door Seal NOTE: Wear rubber gloves and eye protection while performing the following procedure: 1 Dilute ¾ cup (177 ml) liquid chlorine bleach with 1 gallon (3.8 L) of warm/hot water. 2 Use this solution to wipe down all surfaces of the gasket to remove the deposits that are causing any odor. (Be sure to fold back the lip of the gasket to get under the edge where residue can build up.) 3 Wipe the gasket with a dry cloth. 4 After the cycle has ended, safely and conveniently secure the door slightly ajar with a magnetic door plunger to keep the door open. This will promote air circulation and allow the interior of the machine to dry. Do not use undiluted bleach as this will damage the gasket. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper use of bleach. If the gasket cannot be cleaned properly, it should be replaced. NOTE : It is recommended that TUB CLEAN should be repeated monthly. If mildew or musty smell already exists, run TUB CLEAN for 3 consecutive weeks. After TUB CLEAN is complete or when the washer is not used, leave the washer door open for better ventilation and drying inside of the washer. 25

HOW TO USE
CYCLE OPTIONS BUTTONS
(cont.)
Certain buttons also activate special functions,
including CHILD LOCK.
Selecting Cycle Options with the OPTION
Button
Press the OPTION button to add one of
the following options to a cycle. Pressing
the button repeatedly will cycle through
the options.
NOTE:
Only one of the following options can be
selected at a time.
CHILD LOCK
Use this option to prevent unwanted use
of the washer or to keep cycle settings
from being changed while the washer is
operating. Press and hold the OPTION
button for 3 seconds to activate or
deactivate CHILD LOCK.
The child lock indicator will be shown in the
display, and all buttons are disabled except the
POWER button.
Once CHILD LOCK is selected, the display will
alternate between CL and the time remaining.
NOTE:
CHILD LOCK lasts after the end of the
cycle. If you want to deactivate this function, press
and hold the OPTION button for 3 seconds.
PRE-WASH
Press the OPTION button to select
this option to add 15 minutes
prewash and spin cycle to the chosen cycle. This
is especially useful for heavily soiled items.
STAIN CYCLE
Select this option for heavily stained
clothes, such as play clothes
or work clothes. Stain Cycle will add extra
wash time to the selected cycle, as well as an
additional rinse cycle.
RINSE+SPIN
Select this option to rinse and spin a
load separately from a regular cycle.
This can be helpful in preventing fresh stains from
setting in fabrics.
QUICK CYCLE
The QUICK CYCLE option has a very
short cycle time. Recommended
uses include freshening newly purchased clothing
or items that have been packed away.
TUB CLEAN
A buildup of detergent residue can
occur in the wash tub over time and
can lead to a mildewy or musty smell. The TUB
CLEAN cycle is specially designed to remove this
buildup. After the cycle has finished, Use the door
magnet to hold the door ajar so the tub can dry
thoroughly.
NOTE:
Do NOT use this cycle with clothes, and
do NOT add detergent or fabric softener.
NOTE:
If you use the TUB CLEAN cycle on a
monthly basis, the wash drum will be kept clean.
