Winterizing
A dishwasher left in an unheated place should be
protected from freezing. Have a qualified person
do the following.
To Disconnect Service:
1. Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher
at the supply source by removing fuses or
tripping circuit breaker.
2. Shut off water supply.
3. Place a pan under the inlet valve. Disconnect
water line from the inlet valve and drain into
pan.
4. Disconnect drain line from pump and drain
water into pan.
To Restore Service:
1. Reconnect the water, drain, and electrical
power supply.
2. Turn on water and electrical power supply
3. Fill detergent cup and run the dishwasher
through a POWER PLUS/HEAVY WASH cycle.
4. Check connections to make sure they do not
leak.
Before calling for service, review this list. If
