Winterizing
If your RV is equipped with a bypass around the appliance, separate the appliance from the water
system with the bypass.
Winterizing the appliance
To winterize the appliance, you must drain all water from the appliance. To do this we advise the following
steps:
• Remove the water inlet filter or heating cartridge. See “Draining the water and cleaning the water inlet
filter” on page 15, steps 1 to 8.
• Let water completely drain from the appliance. This can take several minutes.
• Do not insert the water inlet filter or heating cartridge into the appliance during winter – if the appliance is
not used.
Danger of crushing/pinching of fingers when the Easy Drain Lever is closed! Never
put fingers between the Easy Drain Lever and latch.
• Close the Easy Drain Lever and the access door.
Once the water has been drained, the appliance is protected against freezing conditions.
Severe damage to the water system components and the appliance!
Any damage caused by freezing or an unsuitable winterizing fluid will not be
covered by warranty.
• Follow the recommendations below if the appliance will be stored under
freezing conditions or for an extended period of time.
• Winterize the appliance at the start of the winter season or before
traveling to a location where freezing conditions are likely.
