Property Damage Hazard
Freezing temperatures may cause water
lines to rupture. Be sure all supply lines to
and circulating lines within dishwasher are
protected.
Failure to do so could result in property
damage.
Winterizing
A dishwasher that will not be used for an extended
length of time or is located where temperatures
may fall below freezing must be winterized.
Winterizing the Built-in Dishwasher
1. Turn off water supply.
2. Pour one gallon of nontoxic RV or Marine water
system antifreeze (available from a hardware
or recreational vehicle store) into bottom of tub.
3. Set for any wash cycle. Close door. Allow
dishwasher to run for 3 minutes to distribute
antifreeze into dishwasher’s water system.
Before unit is put back into use, antifreeze must be
removed. To remove, fill both detergent cups with
dishwasher detergent and operate through a
complete normal cycle without dishes.
