Cleaning the interior Clean the interior of your washer periodically to remove any dirt, soil, odor, mold, mildew, or bacterial residue that may remain in your washer as a result of washing clothes. Failure to follow these instructions may result in unpleasant conditions, including odors and/or permanent stains on your washer or laundry. Hard water deposits may be removed, if needed. Use cleaners labeled "Washer safe". Storing your washer Washers can be damaged if water is not removed from hoses and internal components before storage. Prepare your washer for storage as follows: 1. Select the Quick Wash cycle and add bleach to the automatic dispenser. Run your washer through the cycle without a load. 2. Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet hoses. 3. Unplug your washer from the electrical outlet and leave your washer lid open to let air circulate inside the drum. If your washer has been stored in below-freezing temperatures, allow time for any leftover water in your washer to thaw out before use. 46 English 8 JOEE
