[c] AIR FILTER (AIR-COOLED MODEL)
The plastic mesh air fi lter removes dirt or dust from the air, and keeps the condenser
from getting clogged. As the filter gets clogged, the icemaker’s performance will be
reduced. Check the fi lter at least twice a month. When it is clogged, use warm water
and a neutral cleaner to wash the fi lter.
[d] CONDENSER (AIR-COOLED MODEL)
Check the condenser once a year, and clean if required by using a brush or vacuum
cleaner. More frequent cleaning may be required depending on the location of the
icemaker.
3. PREPARING THE ICEMAKER FOR LONG STORAGE
IMPORTANT
When shutting off the icemaker for an extended time, drain out all water
from the water lines and remove the ice from the storage bin. The storage
bin should be cleaned and dried. Drain the icemaker using air or carbon
dioxide to prevent damage to the water supply lines at sub-freezing
temperatures. Shut off the icemaker until the proper ambient temperature is
resumed.
When the icemaker is not used for two or three days, it is sufficient to only move
the control switch to the “OFF” position, unless the icemaker will be at sub-freezing
temperatures.
[a] Remove the water from the potable water supply line:
1) Remove the louver if it has not already been removed.
2) Move the control switch on the control box to the “OFF” position. See Fig. 3.
3) Wait 3 minutes.
