WINTER STORAGE

Install and store your laundry center where it will not freeze. Because some

water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your laundry center. If storing or moving your laundry center during freezing weather winterize it.

To winterize laundry center:

1.Shut off both water faucets.

2.Disconnect and drain water inlet hoses.

3.Put 1 quart of R.V.-type antifreeze in the basket.

4.Run washer on a spin setting for about 30 seconds to mix the antifreeze and

water. Some of the mixture will pump out while the washer spins.

5.Unplug the power supply cord.

To use laundry center again:

1.Flush water pipes and hoses.

2.Reconnect water inlet hoses.

3.Turn on both water faucets.

4.Reconnect power supply cord.

5.Run the washer through a complete

cycle with 1 cup of detergent to clean out antifreeze.

NON-USE OR VACATION CARE

Operate your laundry center only when you are at home. If you will be on vaca- tion or not using your laundry center for an extended period of time, you should:

•Unplug the power supply cord or turn off electrical power to the laundry center.

•Turn off the water supply to the laundry center. This helps avoid accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.

•Wash dryer lint screen.

MOVING CARE

•Unplug the power supply cord or turn off electrical power to the laundry center.

•Make sure leveling legs are secure.

•Use masking tape to secure washer lid and dryer door.
