Add bleach 5 minutes intothe wash cycle for bast
cleaning and so that bleach can be removed in the
dnea cycle. Pour bleach around the agitator, not directly
onto the load to avoid damaging clothing or other items
inthe load.
(OPTIONAL) Add liquid fabric softener.
NOTE: Do not spill or drip any fabric softener onto the
clothes. Undiluted fabric softener can stain fabrics. Always
dilute fabric softener with warm water. Too much fabric
softener can make some items (diapers and towels)
nonabsorbent. Ifthis happens, do not use it every load,
or use leasof it in each load.

models)
Use only liquid fabric softener in this dispenser. Pour
measured liquid fabric softener into the dispenser.

remove. Some fabrics can retain wear wrinkles and have
increased pilling(the formation of small lint-like balls on the
surface of garments).

WaterInletHoses
Replace inlet hoses after 5 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, mark the date of replacement on
the label with a permanent marker.
Movingand Storage
Because some water may stay inthe hoses, freezing can damage
your washer. If storing or moving your washer during freezing
weather, winterize it.
Winterizing your washer
1. Shut off bcth water faucets. Disconnect and drain water inlet
hoses. Pour 1 qt (1 L) of R.V-type antifreeze intothe basket.
2. Run washer on a drain and spin setting for about 30 seconds
to mix the antifreeze and ramalning water.
3. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
To use washer again
1. Flush water pipes and hoses. Reconnect water inlet hoses.
Turn on both water faucets.
2. Plug in washer or reconnect power.
3. Run the washer through a complete cycle with 1 cup (250 mL)
of detergent to clean out antifreeze.
Storage, non-use or vacation care
Operate your washer only when you are at home. Ifyou will be on
vacation or not using your washer for an extended period of time,
you should:
1. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
2. Turn off the water supply to the washer. This helps avoid
accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge)while
you are away.
