Preventing a frozen
water supply hose
*  If your washing machine is delivered 
in freezing weather conditions, leave it 
at room temperature for 24 hours after 
you’ve set it up before using it. This 
ensures there’s no ice blocking the 
water supply hose.
If your water supply hose 
freezes:
1
Wrap warm towels around the 
joints in the water supply hose.
