Can appliances stay outside all year-round?
Appliances such as grills and side-burners can stay outside and run all year. Appliances such as refrigerators and ice makers should be unplugged through the winter months in areas where the temperature can go below freezing. Refrigerators and ice makers not in use during these times should be left with the door slightly ajar to prevent mildew and mold. Please consult individual manufacturer’s owner’s manuals for details about winterizing your appliances. Any water in drain lines or water feed lines should be emptied in cold climates to prevent breaking lines and pipes.
