PREPARING THE ICE MACHINE FOR STORAGE
Draining and Removing Water from the Ice-Making
System with a Gravity Drain.
1. Turn off the water supply to the ice machine.
2. Disconnect the water supply fitting at the inlet of the
water valve. (See Figure 33a).
3. Change the electronic control to the "CLEAN" position
for approximately one (1) minute. This will energize and
open the water valve and remove most of the water
from the water valve and the water valve’s outlet water
line to the reservoir.
4. Change the electronic control to the "OFF" position.
This will energize and open the drain valve to drain the
reservoir and the ice machine drain system.
5. Unplug the ice machine from the electrical outlet.
6. Remove the access cover from the rear of the ice
machine. (See Figure 34).
If the ice machine is moved, not used for an extended
period of time, or will be in an area that will be near freezing
temperatures, it is necessary to remove any remaining
water in the ice-making system.
This ice machine must have all water drained and removed
to prevent ice machine damage as well as possible water
damage to the surrounding area in freezing conditions.
These damages are not covered under warranty.
Do not use any type of anti-freeze or other solution as a
substitution for properly draining the ice machine.
Clean the Ice Machine
Cleaning the ice machine will help prevent mold and mildew
growth as well as sanitize the ice machine for storage or
when it is put back into service. See page 16 for
instructions for cleaning the ice machine.
