To winterize your Washer-Dryer follow the instructions below to avoid freeze
damage:
1. With the unit off, remove the wash filter to allow the water
remaining (in the pump and drain hose) to be evacuated. Replace
the filter.
2. Close the inlet shut-off valves located at the manabloc water man-
ifold system.
3. Open the low point drains to drain all the water.
4. In cold climates, air should be used to blow out the system.
5. Install the water pressure regulator on a short water hose. Connect
it to the water system. Use an air hose connector on the female end
as this reduces pressure. Make sure one or more faucets are open.
Maximum air pressure should not exceed 35 psi.
If antifreeze is being used in the system follow these instructions:
1. When putting antifreeze into the water system of your motorhome,
set the washer to a warm/warm fill setting and allow water to flow
into the unit until the antifreeze is detected.
2. Slowly advance the timer to a rinse cycle and allow the water to
flow for 10 seconds. Advance the unit to a spin cycle to remove
the majority of the water from the unit.
4. With the unit off, remove the wash filter from the unit. This will
allow the water remaining in the pump and drain hose to be evacu-
ated. Replace the filter.
5. Any water remaining in the unit should contain antifreeze and be
protected from freezing.
NOTE: When placing the unit back into service, allow the unit to
operate for one complete cycle before doing laundry to ensure all
antifreeze has been purged from the unit.
As the Washer-Dryer is used, occasionally wipe the exterior of the cabinet
with a damp cloth or sponge. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. Do not use polish on
plastic trim. Clean the interior with one cup of chlorine bleach mixed with two
cups of granular detergent. Run the washer through a complete cycle using the
hot water. Repeat the process if necessary. Remove hard water deposits using
only cleaners labeled as washer safe. Wipe the inside of the Washer-Dryer door
with a soft cloth to remove any moisture. Periodically apply a thin coat of paste
wax to the inner door, especially to the area which is immediately next to the
door window. This will protect the door finish from laundry spills and discoloration.
NOTE: Should the Washer-Dryer need removal for service, care
should be taken as the Washer-Dryer weighs approximately 185 lbs.
Proper accommodations should be made to avoid risk of injury.
