Storing the Washer

Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from hoses and internal components before storage. Prepare the washer for storage as follows:

•Select NORMAL on the REGULAR cycle and add one cup of bleach OR white vinegar to a full load of water without clothes. (Do not mix bleach and vine- gar in the same wash. Hazardous fumes can form.) Run the washer through a complete cycle.

•Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet hoses.

•Disconnect the washer from the electrical supply and leave the washer lid open to let air circulate inside the tub.

•If the washer has been stored in below-freezing tem- peratures, allow time for the washer to thaw out prior to use.

•After storage, select NORMAL on the REGULAR cycle and run the washer through a complete cycle.
