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 surge.

IMPORTANT: 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 basket and run 

washer on RINSE & SPIN cycle for about 30 seconds  

to mix antifreeze and remaining water.

3.  Unplug washer or disconnect power.

Replace inlet hoses after 5 years of use to reduce the risk of 

hose failure. Periodically inspect and replace inlet hoses if 

bulges, kinks, cuts, wear, or leaks are found.
When replacing your inlet hoses, mark the date of replacement 

on the label with a permanent marker.
