DEFROSTING
CAUTION
DO NOT use any type of electrical heating device, ice pick,
knife, or other sharp instrument to defrost, as this could
damage the inner lining or refrigeration system and void the
warranty.
Manual defrost models should be defrosted approximately every 8
weeks. However, this interval may not be adequate in periods of high
humidity or heavy usage. Defrost your unit whenever the frost thickness
is 1/4” or greater. To defrost, turn the unit OFF, remove cubes and
prop door open at least two inches.
NOTE
Frost free units will never need defrosting. Automatic
defrost models do not normally require manual defrosting.
However, in extremely high humidity or during periods of
unusually high usage, minimal manual defrosting may be
required.
STORAGE
If the unit is to be stored or not used for extended periods, it will be
necessary to drain the system of water.
1. Shut off water supply at the main water source.
2. Disconnect the water supply line from the solenoid valve.
3. Disconnect the water line from the solenoid valve outlet.
4. Allow the unit to run for an hour or more until all remaining ice
cubes have been ejected from the ice maker assembly.
5. Dry out excess water from the ice maker assembly.
6. Prop the door open at least two inches.
7. Disconnect unit from main electrical power source.
8. Leave water supply line and power cord disconnected until ready
to reuse.
NOTE
The use of anti-freeze or other products of this nature is not
necessary and is not recommended.
