and drain water
inlet hoses.
2. Put 1 qt. (1 L) of R.V.-type antifreeze in basket and run
washer on RINSE AND SPIN cycle for about 30 seconds
to mix antifreeze and remaining water.
3. Unplug washer or disconnect
power.
IMPORTANT: To reduce risk of hose failure, replace inlet
hoses every five years and periodically inspect for kinks,
cuts, wear or water leaks.
HELPFUL TIP: When replacing your inlet hoses, mark
replacement date on label with a permanent marker.
