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,follow these steps to protect the washer from damage.
Make sure the tub is empty before following these steps.
Turn off the washer, and unplug the power cord.
Turn off the water faucets.
Disconnect hoses from water supply and drain water from hoses.
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.
Never use automotive antifreeze.
Turn on the washer. Press the SPECIAL USE button repeatedly until the SPIN ONLY option selected.
Press the Start/Pause button to start the drain pump for 1 minute.
This will expel some of the antifreeze, leaving enough to protect the washer from damage.
Turn off the washer and unplug the power cord.
Dry the tub interior with a soft cloth, and close the lid.
Store the washer in an upright position.
Remove the inserts from the dispenser. Drain any water in the compartments and let them dry.
To remove the antifreeze from the washer after storage, run a SPEED WASH cycle using detergent.
Do not add laundry to this cycle.
