Storing Your Dishwasher
Storing for the summer
Protect your dishwasher during the summer months by turning off the water supply and power supply to the dishwasher.
Moving or winterizing your dishwasher
Protect your dishwasher and home against water damage due to freezing water lines. If your dishwasher is left in a seasonal dwelling or could be exposed to near freezing temperatures, have a qualified person do the following:
1.Disconnect power supply to the dishwasher.
2.Turn off water supply to the dishwasher.
3.Remove the 4 screws on the lower access panel. Remove the lower access panel.
4.Place a shallow pan under the water supply valve. Then, use a wrench to disconnect the water inlet from the water supply valve. Separate the water inlet from the water supply valve and drain water into the pan.
