VII. Preparing the Icemaker for Long Storage

CAUTION

When shutting off the icemaker for an extended time, drain out all water from the water line and remove the ice from the storage bin/dispenser unit. The bin/ dispenser should be cleaned and dried. Drain the icemaker to prevent damage to the water supply line at sub-freezing temperatures, using air or carbon dioxide. Shut off the icemaker until the proper ambient temperature is resumed.

When the icemaker is not used for two or three days, it is sufficient to only move the control switch to the "OFF" position, unless the icemaker will be at sub-freezing temperatures.

1. On water-cooled model only, first remove the water from the water-cooled condenser:

1) Turn off the power supply and remove the front panel and right side panel.

2) Close the condenser water supply line shut-off valve and open the condenser water supply line drain valve.

3) Attach a compressed air or carbon dioxide supply to the condenser water supply line drain valve.

4) Open the water regulating valve by using a screwdriver to pry up on the spring retainer underneath the spring. While holding the valve open, blow out the condenser using the compressed air or carbon dioxide supply until water stops coming out.

5) Close the condenser water supply line drain valve and replace the right side panel in its correct position.

2. Remove the water from the icemaker water supply line:

1) If you have not already done so, turn off the power supply and remove the front panel.

2) Close the icemaker water supply line shut-off valve and open the icemaker water supply line drain valve.

3) Allow the line to drain by gravity.

4) Attach a compressed air or carbon dioxide supply to the icemaker water supply line drain valve.

5) Make sure at least 3 minutes have elapsed since you turned off the power supply. Make sure the control switch is in the "ICE" position. Replace the front panel in its correct position and turn on the power supply.

6) Blow the icemaker water supply line out using the compressed air or carbon dioxide supply.

7) Close the icemaker water supply line drain valve.

3. Drain the water tank:

1) Turn off the power supply.

2) Move the control switch to the "OFF" position.

3) Remove the insulation panel. Remove cube guide B, then remove cube guide A.

Remove the overflow cap, overflow pipe, and water shield. See Fig. 7.

4) Remove the drain plug.

5) Remove all ice from the storage bin/dispenser unit. Clean the storage bin/dispenser unit using a neutral cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.

6) Replace the drain plug, water shield, overflow pipe, overflow cap, cube guide A, cube guide B, and insulation panel in their correct positions. Be careful not to cross thread the drain plug or overflow pipe.

7) Replace the front panel in its correct position.
