The Splendide takes about 3/4 to a gallon, we cycle hot until pink in the drum, cycle cold until pink in the drum, then spin the pink out. It has never failed us.

this method is one of the ones that Keystone endorses. The other option that they use at the factory and all their dealers use when they winterize is blowing the lines out and pink stuff in the drains, including spinning the pink stuff out of the washer. I did get a note back from Spendide tech support and they fully approve the optional method in their owners manual using compressed air on cycle '3', then pink stuff in the drum.
