Preparing Your Unit For Vacation; Winterizing Your Unit; Self Help - Thermador DWHD410JFM Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

Preparing your unit for vacation

Before leaving for vacation during warmer weather, turn off water supply at the nearest point to the dishwasher, usually
under the sink. During colder weather, please follow the instructions for winterizing your unit below.

Winterizing your unit

If your dishwasher will be unused for an extended period of time in a location that experiences freezing temperatures (hol-
iday home or through a vacation period), have your dishwasher winterized by an authorized professional service.
