Wash Basket: Leave the lid open after washing to allow
moisture to evaporate. If you want to clean the basket,
use a clean, soft cloth dampened with liquid detergent;
then rinse. (Do not use harsh or gritty cleaners.)
Use the BASKETclean cycle:
Using the washing machine in a humid space for a long
period of time may lead to a buildup of black mold and
germs in the air inside the washer basket and affect your
health. If you clean the washer tub regularly on a monthly
basis using BASKETclean it will keep the washer basket
clean for hygienic use.
1 Add tub cleaner or lime scale remover directly into the
washer basket.
Detergent may remain in the washer tub after
cleaning.
When you use liquid chlorine bleach, load it into the
liquid chlorine bleach compartment.
When you use a powdered cleaner, add it into the
washer tub.
When you use cleaning tablets, place them directly
into the washer tub.
2 Press the Power button.
3 Turn the selector knob to BASKETclean.
