Winter temperatures can damage some appliances if they aren't properly protected from freezing. Master Xiao Yijiang reminds you to follow these precautions: **Water Heater:** - Outdoor units must be insulated with protective wrapping. - Drain all water from the unit if not in use for extended periods. - Insulate gas water heater pipes. - In regions below zero, choose models with built-in freeze protection. **Washing Machine:** - Keep balcony-mounted machines well-insulated. - Drain all water from inlet and outlet hoses after each use. - Avoid using the machine on the balcony during extreme cold. **Water Purifier:** - Monitor indoor cabinet temperature for installed units. - Drain filters and pipes if not used for long periods. - Do not force thawing by turning on water after freezing occurs. **Pipes:** - Wrap exposed pipes with insulation material. - During extreme cold, let faucets drip slightly to prevent freezing. - Close windows and doors to block cold drafts from reaching pipes. - If pipes are frozen, thaw them slowly by pouring warm water over them. **Gas Boiler:** - Keep the power on so automatic freeze protection functions run. - Instead of shutting off completely, simply lower the temperature setting. - If traveling for an extended period, ask a neighbor or property manager to check on it.
