2:: Drain and remove water from ice making system.
1. Turn off the 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 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”. This will energize and open the drain valve to drain the reservoir and
the ice machine drain system.
5. Unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.
6. Remove the back panel from the rear of the unit.
7. Disconnect the water valve’s outlet water line to the reservoir and drain the remaining water left in the
water line trap area.
8. Reconnect the water valve outlet water line and tighten the compression nut to a watertight seal.
9. Reinstall the unit’s back panel.
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 and allow water to enter back into the water valve.

3:: Drain water from optional drain pump, if applicable.

2. Drain the water in the drain pump’s reservoir by running the pump upside down and allowing water to
drain through the pump’s inlet and vent tube fittings.
3. After all water is drained, reinstall the drain pump. Make certain all tubing is installed and all hose clamps
are tight. (Refer to drain pump installation instructions).

4:: Restart the ice machine when ready for use.
1. With the rocker switch in the “OFF” position, plug the unit into an electrical outlet.
2. Reconnect or turn on the water supply line.
3. Reconnect drain tubing if removed.
4. Turn the rocker switch to the “ON” position.
5. Check the water inlet, drain lines, and fittings for any water leaks.
6. Check drain pump, (if applicable), operation by pouring approximately 2 quarts (1.9 L) of water into the ice
storage bin. The drain pump should activate and discharge water. (Refer to drain pump installation
instructions). Check for water leaks at all hose connections.
