Cleaning the dispenser drawer The dispenser drawer is removable for easy cleaning. 1. Unlock the dispenser drawer by pressing the Release Lever. See "Using the Dispenser." Remove the drawer. 2. Remove the inserts (the siphon from the softener and bleach compartments). 3. Wash the parts under running water. NOTE: Do not wash components in the dishwasher. 4. Replace the inserts and return the dispenser to the drawer. Water Inlet Hoses Replace inlet hoses after five years of use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks are found. When replacing your inlet hoses, record the date of replacement. Vacation, Storage, and Moving Care Install and store your washer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your washer. If storing or moving your washer during freezing weather, winterize it. Non-use or vacation care: Operate your washer only when you are at home. If you will be on vacation or not using your washer for an extended period of time, you should: s Unplug washer or disconnect power. s Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away. s Slightly open door to provide ventilation. To winterize washer: 1. Put 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the drum. 2. Run washer on a Drain/Spin cycle. 3. Unplug washer or disconnect power. 4. Shut off both water faucets. 5. Disconnect water inlet hoses from faucets and drain. To use washer again: 1. Flush water pipes. 2. Reconnect water inlet hoses to faucets. 3. Turn on both water faucets. WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock. 4. Plug in washer or reconnect power. 5. Run the washer through the Normal/Casual cycle. Use only HE High Efficiency detergent. Use ¹⁄₂ the manufacturer's recommended amount for a medium sized load. To transport the washer: 1. If washer will be moved during freezing weather, put in 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the drum. Run washer on a Drain/Spin cycle. 2. Unplug the power cord. 3. Disconnect the drain hose from the drain system and attach to rear panel clips. 4. Shut off both water faucets. 5. Disconnect the water inlet hoses from faucets, then drain the hoses and clip them to the rear panel of the washer. 6. IMPORTANT: Call service. Do not reuse transport bolts. Unit must be transported in the upright position. To avoid suspension and structural damage, your machine must be properly set up for relocation by a certified technician. Reinstalling the washer 1. Follow the "Installation Instructions" to locate, level and connect the washer. 2. Run the washer through the Normal/Casual cycle to clean the washer and remove the antifreeze, if used. Use only HE High Efficiency detergent. Use ¹⁄₂ the manufacturer's recommended amount for a medium sized load. 21

Water Inlet Hoses

Replace inlet hoses after five years of use to reduce the risk of

hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if

bulges, kinks, cuts, wear or leaks are found.

When replacing your inlet hoses, record the date of replacement.

Vacation, Storage, and Moving Care

Install and store your washer where it will not freeze. Because

some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your

washer. If storing or moving your washer during freezing weather,

winterize it.

Non-use or vacation care:

Operate your washer only when you are at home. If you will be on

vacation or not using your washer for an extended period of time,

you should:

■

Unplug washer or disconnect power.

■

Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid

accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you

are away.

■

Slightly open door to provide ventilation.

To winterize washer:

Put 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the drum.

Run washer on a Drain/Spin cycle.

Unplug washer or disconnect power.

Shut off both water faucets.

Disconnect water inlet hoses from faucets and drain.

To use washer again:

To transport the washer:

Drain/Spin cycle.

Unplug the power cord.

Disconnect the drain hose from the drain system and attach

to rear panel clips.

Shut off both water faucets.

Disconnect the water inlet hoses from faucets, then drain the

hoses and clip them to the rear panel of the washer.
