Preparing the Icemaker for Long Storage
If the ice maker will not be used for a long time, or is to be moved to another place, it will
be necessary to drain the system of water.
1. Shut off the water supply at the main water source.
2. Disconnect the water supply line from the water inlet.
3. Shut off the electric supply at the main electrical power source.
4. Take out the ice storage bin to remove ice and water. Dry it.
6. Pull off the drainage tube of the water trough to drain off all water.
7. Leave the door open to allow for circulation and to prevent mold and mildew.
8. Leave the water supply line and power cord disconnected until ready to reuse.
IMPORTANT:
Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet.
Never unplug the unit by pulling on the plug.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The icemaker must be thoroughly cleaned if it has been left
unused for a long time. Follow carefully any instructions
provided for cleaning or use of sanitizing solution. Do not
leave any solution inside the icemaker after cleaning.
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and
long life. The maintenance intervals listed are based on normal conditions. You may want
to shorten the intervals if you have pets, or there are other special considerations.
Note
Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is not ice: objects like wine or beer bottles
are not only unsanitary, but the labels may slip off and plug up the drain.
