PREPARING THE ICE MACHINE FOR STORAGE
8. Reconnect the water valve outlet water line.(See Figure
23a).
9. Reinstall the ice machine’s access cover.
10. Clean and dry the ice machine’s storage bin.
11. Prop the door open for air circulation to prevent mold
and mildew.
12. Leave the water supply line disconnected or reconnect
the supply line and leave it shut off. Do NOT turn the
water on and allow water to enter back into the water
valve.
Clean the Ice Machine
Cleaning the ice machine will help prevent mold and mil-
dew growth as well as sanitize the ice machine for storage.
See page 11 for instructions for cleaning the ice machine.
Risk of electrical shock or personal injury could occur due
to moving components, if machine compartment access
cover is removed before unplugging the ice machine.
Draining and Removing Water from the Ice-
Making System with a Gravity Drain.
1. Turn off water supply to the ice machine.
2.
Disconnect the water supply fitting at the inlet of the
water valve.
3. Switch the rocker switch to CLEAN 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. Switch the rocker switch to 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 ma-
chine. (See Figure 22).
7. Disconnect the water valve’s outlet water line to the
reservoir and drain the remaining water left in the water
line trap area. (See Figures 23 and 23a).
If the ice machine is moved, not used for an extended pe-
riod of time, or will be in an area that may experience freez-
ing 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.
Draining Water for Factory Installed Drain
Pump Applications
Follow steps 1 through 12 for the gravity drain then do the
following:
13. Install the winterization plug in the water drain hole
inside the ice bin. (See Figure 20).
