Winterisation
14.1 Winterisation
The following items are the procedures for
preparing your holiday home for winter storage
which virtually all apply whenever the unit is to
be unoccupied for any long period when frosts
can be expected.
a.
Turn off LPG supply at the cylinder and
remove regulator and hose for storage
inside. Ensure that the open gas inlet is
protected against entry of dirt or insects.
b.
Turn off mains water stop tap.
c.
Drain off fresh water outlets on the
underside of the holiday home always
located under the central heating boiler or
water heater and are identified as red and
blue pipes.
CAUTION: Do NOT drain the white central
heating pipes
. It is a sealed system protected
by an anti-freeze solution.
d. Open all hot and cold taps.
e.
Drain off the water heater and domestic
water part of the water boiler as per the user
instructions for the water heater / boiler
supplied with the holiday home.
f. Thermostatic Mixer Valves require full
protection from frost, they should be
removed or drained correctly. Refer to the
Thermostatic Mixer Valve instructions in
the Kitchen and Bathroom section of this
Handbook
g. Flush all toilets.
h.
When all water is drained, close the drain off
outlets and all the hot and cold taps.
i. Fridge / Freezer:-
1. Turn the fridge off and allow to defrost.
Clean the inside of the fridge / freezer.
2. Prop the fridge / freezer door open, and
the internal freezer door if applicable for
ventilation.
j.
If a dish washer or washing machine is fitted
it should be protected from frost damage by
carrying out the following instructions:-
1. Remove electrical power to the
dishwasher.
2. Turn off the water supply and disconnect
the water inlet pipes from the water
valves.
3. Drain water from the inlet pipes and
water valves. (Use a pan to catch the
water).
4. Reconnect the water inlet pipes to the
water valves.
i
Note:
When returning to your holiday home
simply reverse
the winterisation procedure.
Taking these simple precautions will help to
protect and maintain the efficiency of the
system.
5 Dish washers only - Remove the filter in the
tub at the bottom and use a sponge to soak
up water in the sump.
6. Washing machines only - Drain the water
from the pump by removing the filter. See
washing machine instructions for how to do
this.
k. Pour anti-freeze or common salt into the
WC pan and also the sink, basin and shower
waste traps. Avoid these substances
coming into contact with metallic surfaces
such as stainless steel sinks or waste outlet
and remove any spillage. We recommend
the use of a small funnel.
l.
Switch off and unplug all electrical
appliances (including TV Aerial plug). Turn
mains control switch to off position.
m. Remove all food. Thoroughly vacuum all
carpets and vinyl to remove any traces of
food.
n.
Empty the vacuum and or fit a clean bag.
o. The kitchen sink should be free of all
particles and left clean.
p. Carry out a full lubrication schedule (i.e.
locks, hinges, jockey wheel).
