Care during periods of non-use
Winter storage or moving care
Install and store your washer where it will
not freeze. Because some water stays in the
washer, freezing can damage it. If your
washer is stored or moved during freezing
weather, winterize it.
1. Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect
and drain water inlet hoses.
2. Put 1 quart (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze
in the basket.
3. Run washer on a drain and spin setting
(see page 9) for about 30 seconds to mix
the antifreeze with any water that may be
left in the washer.
4. Unplug power supply cord.
To use the washer again:
1. Flush water pipes and hoses.
2. Reconnect water inlet hoses.
3. Turn on both water faucets.
4. Reconnect power supply cord.
5. Run the washer through a complete cycle
with 1 cup (250 mL) of detergent to clean
out antifreeze.
Non-use/vacation care
1. Unplug power supply cord or turn off
electrical power.
2. Turn off water supply leading to your
washer. This will help avoid accidental
flooding while you are away (for example,
due to a water pressure surge).
