If you don’t connect the drain hose:
When you choose not to connect the drain hose, the water drainage nut on the rear of the ice
storage bin must be tightened. The drain outlet plug at the back of the ice maker should be
tightened also. Water collects in the ice storage bin through ice cube melting. The water level in
the ice storage bin can be seen at the water level indicator tube. When required, the water must
be discharged through the melt water drainage nut on the front of the ice storage bin. The nut
must be tightened afterwards. (Do not loosen or screw off the nut at other times). See Fig. A
below.
IMPORTANT: Infrequent drainage will cause a high rate of melting in the ice storage bin.
IMPORTANT:
·
Drain the melting water from the ice storage bin regularly, or there may be a high rate of
melting when water and ice meet.
·
The unit drains condensation water to the drainage tray at the top of the compressor. (See
Fig. B.) This water is slowly evaporated by the heat generated by compressor. If the drainage
tray on top of the compressor becomes full of water, this is detected by the Water Full Probe
and the machine shuts off automatically. At the same time, the ice maker sends out an alarm
signal. Once the excess water is drained through the drainage nut at the bottom of the ice
maker, the machine will start working again automatically.
