Normal Sounds
Your new ice maker may make sounds that are unfamiliar to you. Most of the new
sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor and walls can amplify the sounds. The
following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be
causing them.
? Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items
stored on the top of the ice maker can also make noises.
?
The high-efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
? Running water may make a splashing sound.
?
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
? During the harvest cycle, you may hear the sound of ice cubes falling into the ice
storage bin.
Preparing the Ice Maker for Long Storage
If the ice maker will not be used for a long time, or it is to be moved to another place, it
will be necessary to drain water from the system.
1. Shut off the water supply at the main water source.
2. Disconnect the water supply pipe from the water inlet.
3. Shut off the power supply at the main electrical power source.
4. Screw off the water tank’s drain
screw nut and drain out water completely, then
tighten the nut after finishing. Dry the water tank.
5. Remove all ice cubes from the ice storage bin and dry it.
6. Leave the door open to allow for ventilation and to prevent mold and mildew.
7. Leave the water supply pipe and power cord disconnected until ready to reuse.
IMPORTANT:
?
Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet.
?
Never unplug the unit by pulling on the plug.
