Winter Storage; Non-Use Or Vacation Care; Moving Care - Kenmore Washer/Dryer Owner's Manual And Installation Instructions

WINTER STORAGE
Install and store your laundry center
where it will not freeze. Because some
water may stay in the hoses, freezing
can damage your laundry center. If
storing or moving your laundry center
during freezing weather winterize it.
To winterize laundry center:
1. Shut off both water faucets.
2. Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.
3. Put 1 quart of R.V.-type antifreeze
in the basket.
4. Run washer on a spin setting for about
30 seconds to mix the antifreeze and
water. Some of the mixture will pump
out while the washer spins.
5. Unplug the power supply cord.
To use laundry center 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 of detergent to clean
out antifreeze.
NON-USE OR VACATION CARE
Operate your laundry center only when
you are at home. If you will be on vaca-
tion or not using your laundry center for
an extended period of time, you should:
• Unplug the power supply cord or turn
off electrical power to the laundry center.
• Turn off the water supply to the laundry
center. This helps avoid accidental
flooding (due to a water pressure surge)
while you are away.
• Wash dryer lint screen.
MOVING CARE
• Unplug the power supply cord or turn
off electrical power to the laundry center.
• Make sure leveling legs are secure.
• Use masking tape to secure washer lid
and dryer door.
