CLEANING YOUR WASHER
Keep your washer as clean and fresh as your clothes.  
To keep washer interior odor-free, follow this recommended 
cleaning procedure at least once a month:
1.  Make sure laundry drum is empty.
2.  Using recommended AFFRESH
®
 washer cleaner, add 
one tablet to washer basket.
 OR
  If using liquid chlorine bleach, add 2/3 cup (160 mL) to 
liquid chlorine bleach dispenser.
IMPORTANT: Do not add detergent to CLEAN WASHER 
with Affresh
™ 
cycle. Do not use more than recommended 
amount of bleach to avoid damaging product over time.
3.  Close washer door and dispenser drawer.
4.  Press POWER.
5.  Select CLEAN WASHER with Affresh
 cycle.
6.  Press and hold START/PAUSE. 
NOTE: The basket will rotate, then the door will unlock, 
lock again, and then the cycle will continue. The washer will 
not fill, and the basket will rotate while the washer runs a 
short sensing cycle. This will take approximately 3 minutes. 
7.  The cycle will determine whether clothing or other items 
are in the washer. If no items are detected in the washer, 
it will proceed to Step 8. 
  If the Wash LED light flashes, the door will unlock. 
Remove clothing or items in the washer. Press POWER 
to cancel the flashing LED light. Then repeat steps 1, 2, 
and 6 to start the cycle again. 
8.  Once the cycle has started, allow it to finish. If START/
PAUSE or POWER is pressed before the cycle is 
complete, “Int” (Interrupted) will appear in the display.  
It may take up to 10 minutes for the door to unlock.
9.  After the cycle has ended, leave the door open slightly, 
to allow for better ventilation and drying of washer 
interior. 
To clean exterior:
1.
  Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills.
2.  Use mild soap and water if needed. 
IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging washer finish, do not use 
abrasive products.
