WATER INLET HOSES

Replace inlet hoses after five years of use to
reduce the risk of hose failure. Periodically in-
spect 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, &
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:
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.
