9 To remove the antifreeze from the washer
after storage, run washer through a complete
cycle using detergent. Do not add laundry!
Removing Lime Buildup
If you live in an area with hard water, lime scale
can form on internal components of the washer.
Use of a water softener is recommended in areas
with hard water. If a descaler is used, make sure
that it is suitable for use in a washer, and run the
TUB CLEAN cycle before washing clothing.
Lime scale and other spots may be removed
from the stainless steel drum using a stainless
steel cleaner. Do NOT use steel wool or abrasive
cleansers; they can damage the surface.
Notice of tub clean activation
To clean up the tub, please select the tub clean
cycle. Please empty the tub and insert bleach into
the detergent dispenser and push the tub clean
button.
Door open recommended
It is recommended that you should leave the door
open after unloading laundry to keep the tub
clean.
NOTE: If you clean the detergent dispenser once
a week, it will always dispense properly.
Remove the inserts from the drawer, and
2
clean them with warm water and a soft cloth
or brush to remove any residue or buildup.
Wipe out the inside of the drawer opening
with a damp cloth. Reassemble the drawer
and reinstall in the drawer opening.
NOTE: Do not use anything other than water
to clean the drawer, inserts, and drawer
opening. If any sort of household cleaner
drains into the interior of the washer,
run a RINSE + SPIN cycle before
washing clothes.
