WINTERIZING YOUR WASHER
To winterize your washer please, follow the instructions below to avoid damage to
your unit due to freezing:
1. With the unit off, remove wash filter. This will allow the water remaining in the pump and
drain hose to be evacuated. Replace filter.
2. Close the inlet shut-off valves (provided by installer) and disconnect the inlet
hoses. There should be no water in the hoses where they attach at the back of the
machine.
IF ANTIFREEZE IS BEING USED IN THE SYSTEM FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
(not necessary if the above drain procedure is followed)
1. When putting antifreeze into the water system of your coach, set the washer to the NORMAL
wash setting and allow water to flow into unit until antifreeze is detected.
2. Turn off Power. Advance the washer knob to the “Rinse ” position and allow water to flow for 10
seconds.
3. Turn off Power. Advance the washer knob on “Spin” to remove the majority of the water
from the unit.
4. Turn off Power. With the unit off, remove coin trap from the unit. This will allow the water
remaining in the pump and drain hose to be evacuated. Replace coin trap.
5. If you elect you may close the inlet shut -off valves (provided by installer) and disconnect the
inlet hoses.
6. Any water remaining in the unit should contain antifreeze and be protected from freezing.
Note: When placing unit into service allow unit to operate for one complete cycle before
doing laundry to ensure all antifreeze has been purged from the unit.
