Operate your washer only when you are home. If moving, 

or not using your washer for a period of time, follow these 

steps:
1.  Unplug or disconnect power to washer.
2.  Turn off water supply to washer to avoid flooding due  

to water pressure surges.

 To avoid damage, install and store washer 

where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in 

hoses, freezing can damage washer. If storing or moving 

during freezing weather, winterize your washer.
To winterize washer:
1.  Shut off both water faucets, disconnect and drain water 

inlet hoses.

2.  Put 1 qt. (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in washer drum and 

run washer on RINSE & SPIN cycle for about 1 minute 

to mix antifreeze and remaining water.

3.  Unplug washer or disconnect power.

To reinstall washer after non-use, vacation, winter storage, 

or moving:
1.  Refer to Installation Instructions to locate, level, and 

connect washer.

2.  Before using again, run washer through the following  

recommended procedure:

To use washer again:
1.  Flush water pipes and hoses. Reconnect water inlet 

hoses. Turn on both water faucets.

1.  Shut off both water faucets. Disconnect and drain water 

inlet hoses.

2.  If washer will be moved during freezing weather, follow 

WINTER STORAGE CARE directions before moving.

3.  Disconnect drain hose from drain system and from back  

of washer.

4.  Unplug power cord.
5.  Place inlet hoses and drain hose inside washer drum.

IMPORTANT: Call for service to install new transport bolts. 

Do not reuse transport bolts. Washer must be transported 

in the upright position. To avoid structural damage to  

your washer, it must be properly set up for relocation by  

a certified technician.

2.  Plug in washer or reconnect power. 
3.  Run washer through BULKY ITEMS cycle to clean 

washer and remove antifreeze, if used. Use only HE 

detergent. Use half the manufacturer’s recommended 

amount for a medium-size load.

Today’s liquid HE detergents are concentrated. Most brands of 

concentrated HE detergent will show the level of concentration 

on the bottle. If so, simply set the concentration level in the  

Precision Dispense menu to match the level shown on the bottle.

However, if the detergent bottle does not give the concentration, 

it can be easily calculated. Just divide the package size in fluid 

ounces by the number of loads. Then refer to the chart below to 

find the concentration.

If you do not get your desired cleaning results, try using a lower 

concentration number. If you have excess suds, try using a higher 

concentration number.
