Winterizing Procedures
Important!
Whenever the ice machine is taken out of operation during the winter months, the procedure below
must be performed. Failure to do so may cause serious damage and will void all warranties.
1. Turn off water to machine.
2. Make sure all ice is off of the evaporator(s). If ice is being made, initiate harvest or wait for
cycle completion.
3. Place the ICE/OFF/WASH switch to the “OFF” position.
4. Disconnect the tubing between the water pump discharge and water distribution tube.
5. Drain the water system completely.
6. On water cooled machines, hold the water regulating valve
open by prying upward on the water valve spring with a
screwdriver while using compressed air to blow all the water out
of the condenser.
7. Remove all of the ice in the storage bin and discard.
