hand while pushing up and back on the top. Secure the water
pan by replacing both screws.

and you will have either thin ice or no ice.
■
Hose from water pan is inserted into storage bin drain
opening.

Winterizing, Vacation and Moving Care
To shut down the ice maker:
NOTE: The ice maker must be shut down if temperatures drop
below 45ºF (7ºC).

2. Remove all ice from storage bin.
3. Shut off the water supply.
4. Remove the two screws in the lower access panel and the two
screws from the base grille area of the front panel support.
Pull forward to remove the lower access panel.
5. Disconnect the inlet and outlet lines to the water valve. Allow
these lines to drain and then reconnect to the valve.
6. Replace lower access panel and screws.
7. Drain water from water pan by removing the drain cap.
8. If the room temperature will drop below 32°F (0°C), water must
be removed from the drain line.
For ice makers with a drain pump installed:
■
Plug in ice maker or reconnect power.
■
Turn ice maker off and remove all remaining ice from ice
bin.
■
Pour 1 qt (0.95 L) of water into the ice bin near the drain
and let the ice maker stand for approximately 5 minutes.
This will allow the water in the bin to drain into the drain
pump so that the pump will remove the remaining water
from the ice bin and the drain pump.
■
Unplug ice maker or disconnect power.
9. Before using again, clean the ice maker and storage bin.
10. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
