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.

Follow the procedure below.

1)

Perform a cleaning and sanitizing procedure
to prevent mildew growth.

2)

Disconnect the electric power at the circuit
breaker or the electric service switch.

3)

Turn off the water supply.

4)

Remove the water from the water reservoir.

5)

Disconnect and drain the incoming ice-
making water line at the rear of the ice
machine.

6)

Disconnect vinyl hose from water pump
and allow to drain.

7)

Make sure water is not trapped in any of
the water or drain lines. Compressed air
can be used to blow out the lines.

8)

Use a spray bottle and a solution of 1 table-
spoon (15 ml) sanitizer to 1 gal (4 L) water
and spray all interior surfaces. Do not rinse,
allow to air dry.

9)

Block the door partially open to provide air
exchange and prevent mildew growth.

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.
