Removal from Service/Winterization
GENERAL
Special precautions must be taken if the ice machine is
to be removed from service for an extended period of
time or exposed to ambient temperatures of 32°F
(0°C) or below.
If water is allowed to remain in the ice machine in
freezing temperatures, severe damage to some
components could result. Damage of this nature is
not covered by the warranty.
Follow the applicable procedure below.

breaker or the electric service switch.
2. Turn off the water supply.
3. Remove the water from the water trough.
