38 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.
