Winterisation
14.1 Winterisation
The following items are the procedures for
preparing your RPH for winter storage which
virtually all apply whenever the unit is to be
unoccupied for any long period when frosts can
be expected.
a.
Turn off LPG supply at the cylinder and
remove regulator and hose for storage
inside. Ensure that the open gas inlet is
protected against entry of dirt or insects.
b.
Turn off mains water stop tap.
c.
Drain off fresh water outlets on the
underside of the RPH always located under
the central heating boiler or water heater
and are identified as red and blue pipes.

central heating pipes
. It is a sealed system
protected by an anti-freeze solution.
d. Open all hot and cold taps.
e.
Drain off the water heater and domestic
water part of the water boiler as per the user
instructions for the water heater / boiler
supplied with the RPH.
f. Thermostatic Mixer Valves require full
protection from frost, they should be
removed or drained correctly. Refer to the
Thermostatic Mixer Valve instructions in
the Kitchen and Bathroom section of this
Handbook

outlets and all the hot and cold taps.

Clean the inside of the fridge / freezer.
2. Prop the fridge / freezer door open, and
the internal freezer door if applicable for
ventilation.

If a dish washer or washing machine is fitted
it should be protected from frost damage by
carrying out the following instructions:-
1. Remove electrical power to the
dishwasher.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect
the water inlet pipes from the water
valves.
