Maytag 2206679 important safety instructions Storing the Washer, Troubleshooting

• 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 temperatures, allow time for any water left over in the washer to thaw out prior to use.This may take several hours.

• Select the Heavy Duty cycle setting and add 1⁄3 cup of bleach to the bleach dispenser without clothes in the tumbler. Run the washer through a complete cycle using hot water.

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