IV. Preparing the Appliance for Periods of Non-Use
NOTICE
• When storing the icemaker for an extended time or in sub-freezing temperatures,
follow the instructions below to prevent damage.
• To prevent damage to the water pump seal, do not leave the control switch in the
"WASH" position for extended periods when the water tank is empty.
When the icemaker is not used for two or three days under normal conditions, it is
sufficient to move the control switch to the "OFF" position. When storing the icemaker for
an extended time or in sub-freezing temperatures, follow the instructions below.
1. Remove the water from the icemaker water supply line:
1) Turn off the power supply, then remove the front panel.
2) Move the control switch to the "OFF" position.
3) Close the icemaker water supply line shut-off valve, then open the icemaker water
supply line drain valve.
4) Allow the line to drain by gravity.
5) Attach a compressed air or carbon dioxide supply to the icemaker water supply line
drain valve.
6) Move the control switch to the "ICE" position.
7) Replace the front panel in its correct position, then turn on the power supply.
8) Blow the icemaker water supply line out using the compressed air or carbon dioxide
supply.
9) Close the icemaker water supply line drain valve.
2. Drain the water tank:
1) Turn off the power supply, then remove the front panel. Move the control switch to the
"OFF" position.
2) Remove the insulation panel.
3) Slide the cube guide to the right, then remove the rubber hose and overflow cap
covering the overflow pipe. See Fig. 16. Unscrew the overflow pipe. After the water tank
has drained, reconnect the overflow pipe. Replace the rubber hose, overflow cap, and
cube guide in their correct positions.
NOTICE
! Make sure the O-ring is attached to
the bottom of the overflow pipe and be careful not to cross thread the overflow
pipe.
