Cold Storage and Non-Use Periods
CAUTION
!
Explosive hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that
has not been used for two weeks or more. Before using washer, if
hot water system has not been used for such a period, turn on all hot
water faucets and let water flow for several minutes to release
accumulated hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas is flammable: Do not
smoke or use an open flame when flushing water lines.
Cold Weather Care
If washer is delivered when outside temperature is below freezing or if washer
is stored in unheated room or area during cold months, do not operate until
washer has warmed to room temperature. Do not install or operate
washer where temperatures will drop below freezing.
Cold Weather Storage
If washer must be stored in seasonal home or storage building, use one of the
following storage methods.
METHOD 1
1. Turn off water supply faucets and disconnect hoses. Drain water from
both hoses.
2. Add one gallon of non-toxic RV antifreeze (available from hardware or
recreational vehicle dealers) to washer tub.
3. Push in cycle selector knob and turn to SPIN.
4. Pull knob out and let washer spin for 12 minutes to drain water. Some
antifreeze will also be lost. (If you have a septic system, contact
antifreeze manufacturer and make sure it will not harm system.)
5. Push in cycle selector knob to stop washer. Dry inner wash tub,
disconnect electrical plug, and close washer lid. If moving washer,
disconnect drain hose. Move and store washer ONLY in upright position.
To remove antifreeze after storage, run washer through a complete cycle
using ½ cup of detergent. DO NOT ADD CLOTHES TO CYCLE.
METHOD 2
1. Push in cycle selector knob and turn to SPIN. Run through complete
spin cycle to remove excess water.
2. When spin cycle is complete, push in cycle selector knob to stop
washer.
3. Turn off water supply faucets and disconnect hoses. Drain water from
both hoses.
4. Dry inner wash tub, disconnect electrical plug, and close washer lid. If
moving washer, disconnect drain hose. Move and store washer ONLY in
upright position.
5. It is normal for some water to remain inside pump. To prevent damage to
washer and pump if remaining water freezes, allow washer to warm to 24
to 48 hours after removing from storage, so water can thaw before use.
Vacations and
Extended Non-Use
IMPORTANT: To avoid possible
property damage from flooding, turn
off water supply to washer during
extended periods of non-use.
To prevent mold or mildew, leave lid
open so moisture inside machine can
evaporate.
When closing your home for extended
periods, have service technician drain
washer to avoid stagnant water.
Unplug cord from electrical outlet.
Disconnect hoses from faucets.
