Winterizing
1. Shut off 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 off 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 in
Winterizing, 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.
Start Up
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 off while in ice harvesting cycle, it will take approximately five (5) minutes
to complete the cycle before the compressor and fan turn on. The interior temperature will
drop below freezing. The first harvest of ice will occur within 60 minutes of startup. After the
connection lines are purged of air, normal harvesting and refilling will occur every 40 minutes
or less under normal conditions.
Condenser Cleaning
A dirty or clogged condenser prevents proper airflow, reduces
ice making capacity, and causes higher than recommended
operating temperatures that may lead to component failure.
Have the condenser cleaned at least once every six (6) months.
1. Unplug the ice maker.
2. Remove the two (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.
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.
Warning: DO NOT touch the condenser fins. They are sharp and can be easily damaged.
