time and is in an area that could be exposed to freezing
temperatures, perform the following steps to protect the
washer from damage.
Turn OFF the water supply.
Disconnect hoses from water supply and drain water
from hoses.
Plug the power cord into a properly grounded
3
electrical outlet.
Add 1 gallon of nontoxic recreational vehicle (RV)
4
antifreeze to the empty wash drum and close the
door.

Cleaning the Dispenser

The dispenser should be cleaned periodically to remove buildup of detergent and other laundry products that can
cause the dispenser not to dispense the laundry product properly.
Pull the dispenser drawer out until it stops.
Press the POWER button, then press the SPIN SPEED

button without selecting a cycle. Press the START/
PAUSE button to activate the drain pump. This will
expel some of the antifreeze, leaving enough to
protect the washer from damage.
Unplug the power cord, dry the drum interior with a
soft cloth, and close the door.
Refer to the instructions below to clean and dry the
7
dispenser drawer.
Store the washer in an upright position.

and softener compartments and slide the drawer out.
