PREPARING THE ICE MACHINE FOR STORAGE
If the ice machine is moved, not used for an extended period
of time, or will be in an area that will be near freezing tempera-
tures, it is necessary to remove any remaining water in the ice-
making system.
Draining Water for Optional Drain Pump Applications
13. Remove the drain pump from the ice machine (refer to Drain
Pump Installation Instructions on page 6).
14. Drain the water in the drain pump’s reservoir by turning the
pump upside down and allowing water to drain through the
pump’s inlet and vent tube fittings.
15. After all water is drained, reinstall the drain pump. Make cer-
tain all tubing is installed and all hose clamps are tight (refer
to Drain Pump Installation Instructions on page 5).
To Restart the Ice Machine
1. With the rocker switch in the OFF position, plug the unit into
an electrical outlet.
2. Reconnect or turn on the water supply line.
3. Reconnect drain tubing if removed.
4. Turn the rocker switch to the ON position.
5. Check the water inlet, drain lines, and fittings for any water
leaks.
6. Check drain pump (if equipped) operation by pouring ap-
proximately two (2) quarts of water into the ice storage bin.
The drain pump should activate and discharge water (refer
to Drain Pump Installation Instructions on page 6). Check
for water leaks at all hose connections.
Clean the Ice Machine
Cleaning the ice machine will help prevent mold and mildew
growth as well as sanitize the unit for storage or when it is put
back into service. See page 14 for instructions for cleaning the
ice machine.
Draining and Removing Water from the Ice-Making
System
1. Turn off water supply to the ice machine.
2. Disconnect the water supply fitting at the inlet of the water
valve.
3. Switch the rocker switch to CLEAN for approximately one (1)
minute. This will energize and open the water valve and re-
move most of the water from the water valve and the water
valve’s outlet water line to the reservoir.
4. Switch the rocker switch to OFF position. This will energize
and open the drain valve to drain the reservoir and the ice
machine drain system.
5. Unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.
6. Remove the lower access panel from the rear of the unit.
7. Disconnect the water valve’s outlet water line to the reser-
voir and drain the remaining water left in the water line trap
area.
8. Reconnect the water valve outlet water line and tighten the
compression nut to a watertight seal.
9. Reinstall the unit’s lower access panel.
10. Clean and dry the ice machine’s storage bin.
11. Prop the door open for air circulation to prevent mold and
mildew.
12. Leave the water supply line disconnected or reconnect the
supply line and leave it shut off. Do NOT turn the water on
and allow water to enter back into the water valve.
This ice machine must have all water drained and removed to
prevent ice machine damage as well as possible water damage
to the surrounding area in freezing conditions. These damages
are not covered under warranty.
Do not use any type of anti-freeze or other solution as a substitu-
tion for properly draining the ice machine.
