Winterizing the
Washer-Dryer
4 • 1 7 2
Winterize the washer-dryer using the following instructions to avoid
damage to the unit due to freezing:
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 valve located at the manabloc water
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.
If antifreeze is being used in the system, follow these instructions:
1. When putting antifreeze into the water system of the motorhome,
set the washer to a warm/warm fill setting. 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.
3. With the unit off, remove the wash filter. This will allow the
water remaining in the pump and drain hose to drain out. Replace
the filter.
4. 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.
