IV. Preparing the Icemaker for Periods of Non-Use
NOTICE
• When storing the icemaker for an extended time or in sub-freezing temperatures,
follow the instructions below to prevent damage.
• To prevent damage to the water pump seal, do not leave the control switch in the
"WASH" position for extended periods when the water tank is empty.
When the icemaker is not used for two or three days under normal conditions, it is sufficient
to move the control switch to the "OFF" position. When storing the icemaker for an extended
time or in sub-freezing temperatures, follow the instructions below.

sure the control switch is in the "ICE" position. Replace the front panel in its correct
position and turn on the power supply.
