Seasonal Maintenance and
Storage
• If you will be absent for an extended period of
time during warmer months, close the water valve
and unplug the power cord, or turn off the circuit
breaker. Clean the filter, tub and dispenser to
prevent odor.
• If you will be absent for an extended period of time
during colder months and there is a possibility of
freezing temperatures, winterize the water supply
lines and the dishwasher itself. Winterization must
be performed by experienced service personnel.
