Water Inlet Valve
The water inlet valve normally does not require removal
for cleaning. Refer to Section 5 for a list of causes for
“No Water Entering Water Trough” or “Water Overflows
Water Trough.
1. When the ice machine is off, the water inlet valve
must completely stop water flow into the machine.
2. When the ice machine is on, the water inlet valve
must allow the proper water flow through it. Set the
toggle switch to ON. Watch for water flow into the ice
machine. If the water flow is slow or only trickles into
the ice machine, refer to Section 5.
Follow the procedure below to remove the water inlet
valve.
1. Remove the 1/4” hex head screws.
2. Remove, clean, and install the filter screen.
Ice Machine Inspection
Check all water fittings and lines for leaks. Also, make
sure the refrigeration tubing is not rubbing or vibrating
against other tubing, panels, etc.
Do not put anything (boxes, etc.) on the sides or back of
the ice machine. There must be adequate airflow
through and around the ice machine to maximize ice
production and ensure long component life.
Exterior Cleaning
Clean the area around the ice machine as often as
necessary to maintain cleanliness and efficient
operation. Use cleaners designed for use with stainless
steel products.
Sponge any dust and dirt off the outside of the ice
machine with mild soap and water. Wipe dry with a
clean, soft cloth.
Heavy stains should be removed with stainless steel
wool. Never use plain steel wool or abrasive pads. They
will scratch the panels.
! Warning
Disconnect the electric power to the ice machine
and dispenser at the electric service switch box and
turn off the water supply before proceeding.
