wipe the outside and inside dry. Leave

the lid up until the basket is dry. Wipe up

spills right away. Spills can dull or

damage the finish. -

be put on or in the washer. Check pockets

for bolts, nuts, tools, etc.

damage washer and dryer dials, con-

soles and finishes. Do not use these prod-

ucts on or near your washer or dryer.

faucets. Disconnect or automobile type

and drain water inlet antifreeze in the

hoses. basket.

3. Set the washer for a

DRAIN and SPIN (see

page 8). Let it run for

about 30 seconds

to mix the antifreeze

and water.

To use the washer again...

1. Flush water pipes and hoses.

2. Connect hoses to the washer.

3. Turn on the water faucets.

4. Run the water

through a com-

plete cycle with
