keep your washer as clean and fresh as your clothes.  

To keep washer interior odor-free, follow this recommended 

cleaning procedure after every 30 washes:

1.  Make sure the washer is empty.
2.  Using recommended AFFRESH

®

 washer cleaner,  

add one tablet to washer drum.

  OR
     If using liquid chlorine bleach, add 1 cup (250 mL)  

to liquid chlorine bleach dispenser.

IMPORTANT: Do not add detergent to CLEAN WASHER

™

 cycle. Do not use more than recommended 

amount of bleach to avoid damaging product over time. 

3.  Close washer lid.
4.  Press POWER.

™

 cycle.  

6.  Press START/PAUSE/UNLOCk.  

NOTE: For best results, do not interrupt cycle. If cycle must 

be interrupted, press Power and run a RINSE & SPIN cycle 

to ensure cleaner or bleach have been rinsed from washer.

To clean exterior:
1.  Use a soft, damp cloth or sponge to wipe up any spills.
2.  Use all-purpose surface cleaner, if needed.  

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the washer’s finish,  

do not use abrasive products.

Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk 

of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses 

if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.

When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of 

replacement on the label with a permanent marker.

Press the START/PAUSE/UNLOCk button to start the wash  

cycle. Filling is delayed for several minutes while load balance 

is sensed. When the cycle has finished, the DONE indicator  

will light and the end of cycle signal will sound (if set). 

Promptly remove garments after cycle has completed to  

avoid odor, reduce wrinkling, and rusting of metal hooks,  

zippers, and snaps.

If you need to open the lid to add 1 or 2 missed garments:
Press START/PAUSE/UNLOCk; the lid will unlock once the  

washer movement has stopped. This may take several minutes  

if the load was spinning at high speed. Then close lid and  

press START/PAUSE/UNLOCk again to restart the cycle.
If lid is left open for more than 10 minutes the water will  

pump out automatically. 

Filling is delayed for 2 to 3 minutes to check for load unbalance. 

You will hear the hum of the spin prior to filling. This is normal 

operation.

Select any other cycle options you may wish to add, if not 

previously set. Some cycles will automatically add certain 

options such as Deep Clean or Extra Rinse. These can be 

turned off, if desired.
NOTE: Not all options are available with all cycles.
