■

Wear rubber gloves when cleaning for prolonged periods.

Refer to the bleach manufacturer’s instructions for proper 
use.

This washer has a special cycle that uses higher water volumes in 
combination with liquid chlorine bleach to thoroughly clean the 
inside of the washer. 

NOTES: 

■

Read these instructions completely before beginning the 
cleaning process.

■

If necessary, the cleaning cycle may be interrupted by 
pressing the DELICATES AND KNITS button twice. However, 
this will not immediately stop the cycle. The machine will 
continue with several rinse and drain steps to ensure that all 
remaining bleach is rinsed from the washer.

1. Open the washer door and remove any clothing or items from 

the washer. 

 

Open the dispenser drawer and immediately add 

 

160 mL (

/

3

 cup) of liquid chlorine bleach to the bleach 

compartment. 

NOTE: Do not add any detergent to this cycle. Use of more 
than 160 mL (

2

/

3

 cup) of bleach will cause product damage 

over time. 

3. Close the washer door and the dispenser drawer.

4. To start the Clean Washer cycle, first enter “Start Operating 

Set-up.” Then press and hold DELICATES AND KNITS for 
1 second. With the entire display flashing, press BRIGHTS.

NOTE: The drum will rotate, then the door will unlock, lock 
again, and then the cycle will continue.

■

The machine will not fill, but the drum will rotate while the 
washer runs a short sensing cycle. This will take 
approximately 3 minutes.

5. 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 7.

If any items are detected in the washer, “rL” or “F-34” will 
be displayed. Then the door will unlock.

■

Press DELICATES AND KNITS to cancel the failure 
code. Then repeat steps 1, 3, and 4 to start the cycle 
again.

6. Once the cycle has begun, allow the cycle to complete. 

7. After the cycle is complete, leave the door open slightly, 

 

to allow for better ventilation and drying of washer interior.
