Water Inlet Hoses

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
unintended flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you
are away.
■ Slightly open door to provide ventilation.

1. Put 1 qt (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in the drum.
2. Run washer on a DRAIN/SPIN cycle.

High Efficiency detergent for a medium size loads.
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 DRAIN/SPIN cycle.
2. Unplug the power cord.
3. Disconnect the drain hose from the drain system and attach
to rear panel clips.

5. Disconnect the water inlet hoses from faucets, then drain the
hoses and clip them to the rear panel of the washer.
