Care in Cold Climates
Storing the Washer
If the washer will not be used for an extended period
of time and is in an area that could be exposed to
freezing temperatures, perform the following steps to
protect the washer from damage.
1
Turn off the water supply.
2
Disconnect hoses from water supply and drain
water from hoses.
3
Plug the power cord into a properly grounded
electrical outlet.
4
Add 1 gallon of nontoxic recreational vehicle (RV)
antifreeze to the empty tub and close the lid.
Never use automotive antifreeze.
5
Press the Power button, then select Spin.
6
Press the Start/Pause button to start the drain
pump.

Allow the drain pump to run for one minute, then
press the Power button to shut off the washer.
This will expel some of the antifreeze, leaving
enough to protect the washer from damage.
8
Unplug the power cord, dry the tub interior with a
soft cloth, and close the lid.

Store the washer in an upright position.

To remove the antifreeze from the washer after
storage, run a complete Rinse+Spin cycle using
detergent.
Do not add laundry to this cycle.
