Important:  

 Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet.  

 Never unplug the unit by pulling on the plug. 

 

Normal Sounds 

Your  new  icemaker  may  make  sounds  that  are  not  familiar  to  you.  Most  of  the  new  sounds  are 
normal. Hard surfaces like the floor and walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually 
are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making 
them. 

  Ratting noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on top of 

the icemaker can also make noises.  

  The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound. 

  Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a splashing sound. 

  As  each  cycle  ends,  you  may  hear  a  gurgling  sound  due  to  the  refrigerant  flowing  in  your 

icemaker. 

  You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan. 

  During the harvest cycle, you may hear the sound of ice cubes falling into the ice storing bin. 

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 they are ready to reuse.
