A:Answer Hello there,
Yes, the washer must be emptied every 40 cycles or at least once a month for you to perform a self-clean cycle.
The self-clean cycle helps the washer avoid residue buildup or odor. For more details, refer to page 43 of your user manual, specifically the section titled "Self Clean+."
