Which position do I put my Winterize and Hot water bypass in

The labels show on is in the horizontal position to the left and off is in the down position. My switches don't turn down. They are either to the left or up. Any help greatly appreciated.

Haven't seen bypass valve labled but if the valve is turned parallel to the pex it is open and if 90 degrees to the pex it is closed. Please take a second to go to the UserCP and click (upper left every page in black band) and make a signature (and save it) and include your camper's year, make and specific model as well as the same for your tow vehicle. This adds a lot when trying to answer questions in context. Cheers!

Thank you. Sorry for the newbie question, what is the "Pex?" I'll update my profile now as you suggested.

I googled it and saw that "pex" is the tubing. My winterize and bypass valves are located in an access panel, not on the tubing itself.

A picture would help eliminate a lot of questions.

Added pictures to the original post. You can see the first one points to "On". The second one does not point to "off", it's pointing up away from it.

Be real easy to check.. turn off water heater and drain the toggle the bypass and see which gives you water out the WH drain plug..

My first post here, I have the exact same setup in my rig and the stickers confused the heck out of me.

So I clearly want winterize "off" and the bypass "off" while its not freezing up here in Canada. However the "off" being below on the sticker is bizarre. Both of my valves go "up" to be turned off.

This seems like an easy fix for keystone that should be made...
