Preparing the Ice Maker for Long Storage

If the ice maker will not be used for a long time, or is to be moved to another place, it will be
necessary to drain the system of water.

Shut off the water supply at the main water source.

Disconnect the water supply line from the water inlet valve.

Disconnect the drain pipe to the drain line or floor drain.

Allow the ice maker to run for an hour or more until all remaining ice cubes have been ejected
from the ice maker assembly.

Shut off the electric supply at the main electrical power source.

Screw off the nut of the water drain hole at the back of the machine, drain out water residue
completely (do not loosen or screw off the nut at other times), then tighten the nut after
finishing.

Leave the door open to allow for circulation and prevent mold and mildew.

Leave water supply line and power cord disconnected until ready to reuse.
