Winterizing The Washer-Dryer - Monaco Cayman 2005 Owner's Manual

If water flow to the washer-dryer is reduced, the Hot and Cold water
inlet screens may be clogged. Remove water pressure and undo water
lines at the back of the washer-dryer. Use tweezers or pliers to remove
screens from fittings. Clean and install screens and water lines. Hook to
city water or turn on the water pump. Check for water leaks before
using the washer-dryer.
NOTE:
Should the washer-dryer need removal for service, care
should be taken as the washer-dryer weighs approximately
170 lbs. Proper accommodations should be made to avoid
risk of injury or damage to the cabinetry.

Winterizing the Washer-Dryer

To Winterize the Washer Dryer with Air Pressure:
1. Hook an airline (regulated to 45 psi or less) to the water inlet of the motorhome.
2. Rotate Selector knob to a wash position with the Wash Temp setting on Warm. Press the
power button to On. Air pressure will clear the Hot and Cold water lines.
3. After water lines are clear, rotate Selector knob to Spin. Allow the pump to drain the drum.
4. Set Selector knob to Reset and Timer to zero. The door will unlock in two minutes or less.
Open door and pour in ¼ gallon of RV antifreeze.
5. Set Selector knob to Spin. The pump will prime with antifreeze. Set selector knob to Reset
and turn the power off.
To Winterize the Washer Dryer Using RV Antifreeze:
Two methods of introducing antifreeze to the water system can be used. Add antifreeze directly to
the water tank or use a separate container of antifreeze with water line hooked to the intake side of the
water pump.
1. Turn on the Water Pump. Rotate Selector knob to a wash position with the Wash Temp set-
ting on Warm. Press the power button to On. Allow antifreeze to enter the drum.
2. After water lines are filled with antifreeze, rotate Selector knob to Spin. Allow the pump to
drain the drum.
3. Set Selector knob to reset and Timer to zero. The door will unlock in two minutes or less.
Turn the power off.
4. Any remaining liquid should contain a sufficient amount of antifreeze to be protected from
freezing.
NOTE:
After winter, perform a Test Procedure before washing or drying any laundry to
make sure all antifreeze has purged.
