Property Damage Hazard
Freezing temperatures may cause water
lines to rupture. Be sure all supply lines to

protected.
Failure to do so could result in property

Winterizing

length of time or is located where temperatures
may fall below freezing must be winterized.

2. Pour one gallon of nontoxic RV or Marine water
system antifreeze (available from a hardware

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.
