IMPORTANT
1. The cleaning valve is opened during cleaning and sanitizing to allow solution
flow to the inside of the evaporator. It should be closed for all icemaking
operation. The compressor will not operate unless this valve is completely
closed.
2. To close the cleaning valve, the valve handle should be at a right angle to the
valve body. To open the cleaning valve, the valve handle should be parallel to
the valve body.

remove cube guide A. See Fig. 6. Remove the overflow cap, overflow pipe, and water
shield.
5) Remove the drain plug. Allow the water tank to drain, then replace the drain plug in its
correct position. Be careful not to cross thread it.
6) Replace the water shield, overflow pipe, overflow cap, cube guide A and cube guide B in
their correct positions. Be careful not to cross thread the overflow pipe.
7) In bad or severe water conditions, clean the float switch as described below. Otherwise,
continue to step 8.
a. Disconnect the vent tube and the flush tube from the top of the float switch housing,
