Preparing the Ice Maker for Storage
Caution:
Store the unit out of reach from children. If you have children, you may want to take
additional precautions such as removing the door to prevent a child from being trapped inside the
ice maker.
Important:
• Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet.
• Never unplug the unit by pulling on the cord.

Your new ice maker may make noise during normal operation. Most of these sounds are normal. Hard surfaces
like the floor and walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are.
The following describes several sounds you may hear and what may be making them:
•
Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on top of the ice
maker can also make noises.
•
The high-efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
• Water running across the evaporator while making ice may make a splashing sound.
•
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your ice maker.
•
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
•
During the ice harvest cycle, you may hear the sound of the ice cubes falling into the storage bin.
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
defrost and clean the unit, and dry the interior.
1.
Disconnect the ice maker from the power supply by removing the power plug from the wall socket.
2.
Turn off the water supply at the shut-off valve.
3. Disconnect the water supply line and drain line.
4.
Remove all ice from the storage bin and clean the unit thoroughly (see “Cleaning and Maintenance”
section).
5. Leave the door open to allow for air circulation and to prevent mold, mildew, and unpleasant smells.
6. Once the interior is dry and clean the unit will be ready for storage.
