Winterizing
Warning: Disconnect power at the source before working on the unit. Do not winterize
this unit with ANY type of anti-freeze; damage to the ice maker mold coating will occur,
invalidating the product’s Limited Warranty and creating a potential health hazard.
!
1. Shut o󰀨 the water supply to the unit.
2. Disconnect the water supply connector behind the front grille at the solenoid valve. Remove the
white plastic tubing and nut from the bottom of the solenoid valve.
3. Turn the power on. Allow the unit to run for an hour. Remove any cubes that may have been
ejected during this period. Turn o󰀨 the power and open the door to allow the inside to defrost. After it
has defrosted, wipe it dry and leave the door open.
Recommissioning
Reconnect the water supply connector, white plastic tubing, and nut discussed above, turn on the
water, check for leaks, and then reconnect the unit to power. After an initial cool down of 45-60
minutes, the unit will cycle approximately every 40 minutes.
Turn on the water, check for leaks, and then turn on the power. Press the power switch (located just
below the door). The fan and compressor will normally turn on immediately, resulting in air circulation
through the grille and a faint hum from the compressor. If the machine was shut o󰀨 during the ice
harvesting cycle, it will take approximately 5 minutes to complete the cycle before the compressor
and fan turn on. The interior temperature will drop below freezing. The rst harvest of ice will occur
within 60 minutes of startup. After the connection lines are purged of air, normal harvesting and
relling will occur every 40 minutes or less under normal conditions.
Condenser Cleaning
A dirty or clogged condenser prevents proper airow, reduces ice making capacity, and causes higher
than recommended operating temperatures that may lead to component failure. Clean the condenser
at least once every 6 months.
1. Unplug the ice maker.
2. Remove the 2 screws on the front cover and gently remove the cover.
3. Use the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner to remove dirt and lint from the condenser and the
surrounding compartment.
4. Replace the front cover and screws.
5. Plug in the ice maker.
Note: DO NOT touch the condenser ns. They are sharp and can be easily damaged.
