Water Inlet Hoses

Replace inlet hoses after five 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, record the date of replacement.

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

accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you

are away.

■

Slightly open door to provide ventilation.

To winterize washer:

Put 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the drum.

Run washer on a DRAIN/SPIN cycle.

Unplug washer or disconnect power.

Shut off both water faucets.

Disconnect water inlet hoses from faucets and drain.

To use washer again:

Flush water pipes.

Reconnect water inlet hoses to faucets.

Turn on both water faucets.

Plug in washer or reconnect power.

Run the washer through the NORMAL/CASUAL cycle with ½

the normal recommended amount of HE detergent to clean

out antifreeze.

To transport the washer:

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

DRAIN/SPIN cycle.

Unplug the power cord.

Disconnect the drain hose from the drain system and attach

to rear panel clips.

Shut off both water faucets.

Disconnect the water inlet hoses from faucets, then drain the

hoses and clip them to the rear panel of the washer.

6. IMPORTANT:

Call service. Do not reuse transport bolts. Unit

must be transported in the upright position.

Reinstalling the washer

Follow the “Installation Instructions” to locate, level and

connect the washer.

Run the washer through the NORMAL/CASUAL cycle with ½

the normal recommended amount of HE detergent to clean

the washer and remove the antifreeze, if used.
