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.
Make sure the tub is empty before following these
steps.

Disconnect hoses from water supply and drain
water from hoses.
3
Plug the power cord into a properly grounded
electrical outlet.

Add 1 gallon of nontoxic recreational vehicle
(RV) antifreeze to the empty tub and close the
lid (door). Never use automotive antifreeze.

using detergent.
