To Refresh or Clean Inside of Washer
To clean and freshen the washer, perform the
clean washer cycle. For best results perform the
cycle once a month.
WARNING
HARMFUL VAPOR HAZARD
Do not use or mix liquid chlorine bleach with
other household chemicals such as toilet
cleaners, rust removers, acid or products
containing ammonia. These mixtures can
produce dangerous fumes which can cause
serious injury or death.
CAUTION
ENTRAPMENT and TIP-OVER HAZARD
Do not leave the door open if there are small
children or pets present. An open door could
entice children to hang on the door or crawl
inside the washer. If there are no small children
present, you may leave the door ajar to
prevent odor build up.
IMPORTANT
Items left in washer while performing the
clean washer cycle will cause a severe out-
of-balance situation that could damage the
washing machine.
Immediately follow up with a rinse &
spin cycle. Select max spin with no
detergent or bleach to help clear any residual
bleach left after the clean washer cycle.
For best results
To begin the cycle, select the clean washer
cycle. If installed, remove the “LIQUID ONLY”
cup (on select models) from the dispenser. RE-
MOVE ALL ITEMS FROM WASH DRUM before
filling the detergent chamber with one (1) cup of
liquid chlorine bleach OR one (1) pouch of Tide®
Washing Machine Cleaner. DO NOT use both.
Press start to begin.
NOTE
Every 50 cycles, your washer will remind you to
perform the clean washer cycle by illuminating
the clean washer cycle indicator.
