Winterizing Instructions
1.
Turn off water supply faucets.
2. Disconnect hoses from water supply
and drain water from hoses.
3. Plug electrical cord into a properly
grounded electrical outlet.
4. Add 1 gallon (3.8 L) nontoxic
recreational vehicle (RV) antifreeze
to empty wash drum. Close door.
5. Select the rinse & spin cycle. Start
the cycle and let the washer drain
for 1 minute to drain out all the
water. Not all of the RV antifreeze
will be expelled.
6. Stop the cycle, unplug electrical
power cord, dry off tub interior, and
close the lid.
7. Store laundry center in an upright
position.
8.
To remove antifreeze from washer
after storage, run empty washer
through a complete cycle using
detergent. DO NOT add wash load.
IMPORTANT
Winterize the laundry center if it
is stored in an area where freezing
can occur or moved in freezing
temperatures to prevent damage to the
washer:
Water inlet hose inspection
Periodically inspect all water inlet hoses
for water leaks, wear, cuts, corrosion and
bulges. Replace all hoses, if any sign of
the above is visible. All hoses should be
replaced every 5 years to reduce the risk
of hose failures. When replacing hoses,
refer to the Installation sections of this
Use & Care guide for proper installation
instructions. DO NOT overtighten or cross
thread the fittings. DO NOT allow the
hose to rub against sharp objects. Always
ensure the hose fitting rubber gasket is
installed and free from water leaks when
water pressure is applied.
