Winterizing a 2022 Forza 36H

I have tried to follow the directions for the water heater bypass but cannot get the antifreeze to bypass the tankless heater. There are two different winterization valves on the 36H and no combination seems to work. The only way I could get it done was to leave the screen in, set the valves to normal, let it fill with antifreeze then drain it out.

Has anyone here successfully done it?

Is there a bypass for the tankless heater?
On a tankless heater, I would not expect to bypass as a way to save on antifreeze as so little goes in the tankless?

I see no mention of it in the manual nor drawings!

Another thought would be to use the blow-out method, rather than the tasty pink stuff.

For some reason the 36H has two valves for the tankless water heater. #1 is either normal or bypass. #3 is normal, line drain or heater/line drain.

I think the Truma book says to not run antifreeze through but I had to. Hopefully someone with this unit will chime in. Winnebago is generally pretty clear on how to do things but not this.
