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.
