Winterizing Procedures
IMPORTANT: Whenever the ice machine is taken out of operation during the winter months, the procedure
below must be performed. Failure to do so may cause serious damage and will void all warranties.
1. Turn off water to machine.
2. Make sure all ice is off of the evaporator(s). If ice is being made, initiate harvest by pressing the
Power Button for approximately 3 seconds. The unit will shut off automatically following the
harvest.
3. Disconnect the tubing between the water pump discharge and water distribution tube and drain
any water.
4. On water cooled machines, hold the water regulating valve open by prying upward on the water
valve spring with a screwdriver while using compressed air to blow all the water out of the con-
denser.
5. Remove all of the ice in the storage bin and discard.
