Care and cleaning
Self Clean
To clean the interior of the Combo, select the SELF
CLEAN feature on the control panel. This Self Clean
cycle should be performed, at a minimum,
once per month or about every 40 cycles.
This cycle will use more water, in addition
to bleach which can be added as an
option, to control the rate at which soils
and detergents may accumulate in your
Combo.
NOTE: Read the instructions below completely before
starting Self Clean cycle.
1. Remove any garments or objects from the Combo and
ensure the Combo's basket is empty.
2. Optional Step: Open the Combo
door and pour one cup or 250 ml
of liquid bleach or other washing
machine cleaner into the basket.
3. Close the door and select the
SELF CLEAN cycle. Push the Start button.
4. When the Self Clean cycle is working, the display will
show the estimated cycle time remaining. The cycle will
complete in about 50 minutes. Do not interrupt the cycle.
Dispenser & Softener Drawer Areas
Detergent and fabric softener may build up in the dispenser drawers.
Residue should be removed once or twice a month.
Perform this effort for each of the two drawers:
• Remove the drawer by first pulling it out until it stops. Then reach back
into the rear of the drawer cavity and press down firmly on the lock tab,
pulling out the drawer.
• Rinse the drawer with hot water to remove traces of accumulated
laundry products.
• To clean the drawer opening, use a small brush to clean the recess.
Remove all residue from the upper and lower parts of the recess.
• Replace the dispenser drawer.
• To reduce buildup in the detergent drawer area:

Following the Self Clean, the Combo will automatically
run a 60 minute drying step to remove excess moisture
from inside the Combo's interior. You can choose to
cancel this drying step. Doing so will not impact the
performance of Self Clean.
If for any reason the cycle needs to be interrupted, the
door will not open immediately. Forcing open the door at
this stage may cause water to flood. The door will open
after the water is drained to a level where it would not
flood the floor.
Self Clean may be interrupted by pressing the Start/
Pause button during its operation. A power outage in
the house might also interrupt the cycle. When the
power supply is back, the Self Clean cycle resumes
where it had stopped. When interrupted, be sure to run a
complete Self Clean cycle before using the Combo. If the
Power button is pressed during Self Clean, the cycle will
be canceled.
IMPORTANT:
• Run Self Clean once a month.
• After the completion of a Self Clean cycle, the interior
of your unit may have a strong "bleach smell" if you
chose to use bleach to assist the Self Clean.
• It is recommended to run a Rinse & Dry or a light color
load after the Self Clean cycle, if bleach was used.
