Regulate the room temperature to prevent the pipes and hoses from freezing during cold months.
Drain the water.
When not using the Washlet over an extended period of time, drain the
water out of the main unit and the water supply hose after closing the water
shutoff valve, and pull the electrical plug from the outlet.
Switch the breaker on the distribution board to OFF.
