The laundry center must not be installed or stored in an area where it will be exposed to water and/or weather. Do not operate your washer in temperatures at or below 32°F (0°C). Some water can remain in the washer and can cause damage in low temperatures. See "Vacation, Storage and Moving Care" for winterizing information.
