• Make sure the drum is empty before following
these steps.

Turn off the washer, and unplug the power
cord.

Turn off the water faucets.

Disconnect the water inlet hoses. Drain any
water from the hoses.

Plug the power cord into a properly grounded
electrical outlet.

(RV) antifreeze to the empty drum and close
the door.

button.
