To use the Tub Clean cycle on an LG washing machine, follow these steps:
Make sure the washing machine is empty. Remove any clothing, detergent, or other items from the drum.
Close the door of the washing machine.
Turn on the washing machine by pressing the power button.
Look for the "Tub Clean" button on the control panel. The location of the button may vary depending on the specific model of your LG washing machine. Refer to the user manual or look for a button labeled "Tub Clean" or a similar indication.
Press the "Tub Clean" button once to select the Tub Clean cycle.
Adjust the settings if necessary. Some models may allow you to adjust the temperature, spin speed, or soil level for the Tub Clean cycle. If available, set the desired settings according to your preference.
Press the "Start" button to initiate the Tub Clean cycle. The washing machine will begin the cleaning process.
The Tub Clean cycle typically runs for about 1-2 hours. During this time, the washing machine will fill with water, agitate, drain, and spin to clean the drum thoroughly. The exact duration may vary depending on your machine model.
Once the Tub Clean cycle is complete, the machine may signal or display "End" or "Clean" to indicate that the cycle has finished.
After the Tub Clean cycle, it's recommended to leave the door of the washing machine open for some time to allow the interior to dry. This helps prevent any residual moisture or odors.
It's important to note that the Tub Clean cycle is designed specifically for cleaning the drum and removing buildup, mold, and mildew. It's not intended for regular laundry loads. It's generally recommended to run the Tub Clean cycle once a month or as needed to maintain the cleanliness and performance of your LG washing machine. For detailed instructions and any specific considerations for your model, refer to the user manual provided by LG.
