Water Inlet Hoses - KitchenAid Pro Line KHWV01RSS Technical Education

WATER INLET HOSES

Replace original inlet hoses after 10 years of
use to reduce the risk of hose failure. Periodi-
cally inspect and replace inlet hoses if bulges,
kinks, cuts, wear or leaks are found.
When replacing the inlet hoses, record the date
of replacement.
VACATION, STORAGE, AND
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 the 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 the washer:
1. Put 1 quart (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 the washer again:
1. Flush water pipes.
2. Reconnect water inlet hoses to faucets.
3. Turn on both water faucets.

SUAL cycle with 1/2 the manufacturer's

detergent for a medium size load, to clean
