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 your 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 
unintended flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you 
are away.
Slightly open door to provide ventilation.
To winterize washer:
1. Put 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the drum.
2. Run washer on a Rinse, 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 washer again:
1. Flush water pipes.
2. Reconnect water inlet hoses to faucets.
3. Turn on both water faucets. 
4. Plug in washer or reconnect power.
5. Run the washer through the Normal cycle with 1/2 the 
manufacturer’s recommended amount of HE detergent for a 
medium-size load, to clean the washer and remove the 
antifreeze, if used.
To transport the washer:
1. If washer will be moved during freezing weather, put in 1 qt (1 L) 
of R.V.-type antifreeze in the drum. Run washer on a Rinse, 
Drain & Spin cycle.
2. Unplug the power cord.
3. Disconnect the drain hose from the drain system and attach to 
rear panel clips.
4. Shut off both water faucets.
5. Disconnect the water inlet hoses from faucets, then drain the 
hoses and clip them to the rear panel of the washer.
IMPORTANT: Call service. Do not reuse transport bolts. Washer 
must be transported in the upright position. To avoid suspension 
and structural damage, your machine must be properly set up for 
relocation by a certified technician.
Reinstalling the washer
1. Follow the “Installation Instructions” to locate, level, and 
connect the washer.
2. Run the washer through the Normal cycle with 1/2 the 
manufacturer’s recommended amount of HE detergent for a 
medium-size load, to clean the washer and remove the 
antifreeze, if used.
