Storing the Clothes 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 the "NORMAL" setting on the REGULAR cycle of the clothes washer and add one cup of bleach to the detergent dispenser without clothes in the tum- bler. Run the clothes washer through a complete

cycle,

Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet hoses.

Advance the cycle control knob to Spin and lower the drain hose to eliminate any water that may be in the drain hose.

Disconnect the clothes washer from the electrical supply and leave the washer door open to let air cir- culate inside the tumbler.
