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 cotton/sturdy and quick setting and add one cup of bleach to the detergent dispenser without clothes in the tumbler. Run the clothes washer through a complete cycle. • Turn the water faucets off and disconnect the inlet hoses. • Disconnect the clothes washer from the electrical supply and leave the washer door open to let air circulate inside the tumbler. • 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.
