WINTERISATION
1. GENERAL
1.1.1 This section contains information on the winterisation of your Auto-Sleeper,
particularly when you may wish to lay up your vehicle for the winter months.
1.2 WATER SYSTEM
1.2.1 The water system should be fully emptied and the drain taps on both the fresh
water tank and waste water tank left in the open position. Likewise, all internal
taps should be left open and the water pump run until the last traces of water
have come out of the taps. Purely as a precaution, against very severe freezing
conditions, the water filter that is attached to the water pump on the outlet side
should be removed and cleared of all water. In doing so it will give you the
opportunity of cleaning it, if necessary, ready for the coming season. Remove all
sink plugs to allow the water system to breathe.
1.2.2 Flush fully the waste water tank to remove any excess debris and waste material.
Flush through again with disinfectant as part of the final drain. Leave drain tap
open.
1.3 UPHOLSTERY
1.3.1 We advise that any detachable upholstery is removed and taken indoors during
prolonged winter storage, particularly detachable upper bed mattresses and
scatter cushions.
1.4 CURTAINS/BLINDS
1.4.1 To prevent uneven bleaching, and possible excess sunlight onto the furniture and
fabrics, we recommend that either the curtains or blinds are left drawn.
1.5 REFRIGERATOR
1.5.1 Leave the refrigerator door open, on its intermediate lock position; this will allow
the refrigerator to breathe and prevent any unpleasant odors in the storage
department.
1.6.2 If the refrigerator is not to be used for some time:
v. Set the switch (A) to "OFF" (See page 4.1 for diagram).
vi. Shut off any on-board valve in the gas line to the refrigerator.
vii. Empty the refrigerator. Defrost and clean it as described earlier. Leave the
doors of the refrigerator and frozen food compartment ajar.
1.7 VENTILATION
1.7.1 There is fixed upper and lower ventilation in your Auto-Sleeper which is built-in in
the interests of safety. There is therefore no need to leave any windows or roof
ventilators ajar - indeed the roof ventilators have sufficient fixed ventilation to
allow the interior or the vehicle to breathe satisfactorily.
1.8 EXTERIOR
1.8.1 Fit, where appropriate, the Electrolux winter covers to the fridge ventilators. Give
your Auto-Sleeper a good wash and polish before laying up, and apply a small
film of protective oil to the stainless steel roof rack, ladder and any other external
polished metal components.
