3. PREPARING THE ICEMAKER FOR LONG STORAGE
IMPORTANT
When shutting off the icemaker for an extended time, drain out all water
from the water lines and remove the ice from the storage bin. The storage
bin should be cleaned and dried. Drain the water supply lines to prevent
their damage at sub-freezing temperatures. Shut off the icemaker until the
proper ambient temperature is resumed.
When the icemaker is not used for two or three days, it is sufficient to only press the
ON/OFF button to go into the halt control, unless the icemaker will be at sub-freezing
temperatures.
[a] Remove the water from the potable water supply line:
1) Press the ON/OFF button to start the halt control.
2) Unplug the icemaker.
3) Close the water supply tap, and remove the inlet hose.
4) Remove all ice from the storage bin, and clean the bin.
[b] Drain the potable water tank:
1) Turn off the power supply at the breaker box.
2) Disconnect the overflow pipe from the water tank. Next, remove the water tank by
pressing down on the snaps on the brackets (L) and (R) and pulling the tank towards
you slightly and pushing it down. Be careful to avoid breakage when handling the
parts.
3) Drain the water tank, and refit the removed parts in their correct positions.
4) Clean the bin.
