Do not put sharp or metal object in your washer, or they can damage the finish. Check all pockets for pins, clips, money, bolts, nuts, etc.
Do not lay these objects in your washer after emptying pockets.
Winter storage or moving care
Install and store your washer where it will not freeze. Because some water may stay in the hoses, freezing can damage your washer.
If you store or move your washer during freezing weather, winterize it.

Non-use or vacation care
Operate your washer only when you are at home.
If you are on vacation or don’t use your washer for an extended period of time, you should:
•Unplug the power supply cord or turn off eletrical power to the washer.
•Turn off the water supplier to the washer.
This helps avoid accidental flooding (due to a water pressure surge) while you are away.
