B. Maintenance  
IMPORTANT  
This icemaker must be maintained individually, referring to the instruction  
manual and labels provided with the icemaker.  
1. Stainless Steel Exterior  
To prevent corrosion, wipe the exterior occasionally with a clean, soft cloth. Use a damp  
cloth containing a neutral cleaner to wipe off oil or dirt build up.  
2. Storage Bin and Scoop  
• Wash your hands before removing ice. Use the plastic scoop provided (bin accessory).  
• The storage bin/dispenser unit is for ice use only. Do not store anything else in the  
bin/dispenser.  
• Clean the scoop and the storage bin/dispenser unit liner using a neutral cleaner. Rinse  
thoroughly after cleaning.

3. Air Filters (air-cooled model only)  
Plastic mesh air filters remove dirt and dust from the air, and keep the condenser from  
getting clogged. As the filters get clogged, the icemaker’s performance will be reduced.  
Check the filters at least twice a month. When clogged, use warm water and a neutral  
cleaner to wash the filters.  
4. Condenser (air-cooled and remote air-cooled models only)  
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 location.  
C. Preparing the Icemaker for Long Storage  
CAUTION  
When shutting off the icemaker for an extended time, drain out all water from  
the water line and remove the ice from the storage bin/dispenser unit. The bin/  
dispenser should be cleaned and dried. Drain the icemaker to prevent damage  
to the water supply line at sub-freezing temperatures, using air or carbon  
dioxide. 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.  
1. On water-cooled model only, first remove the water from the water-cooled  
condenser:  
1) Turn off the power supply and remove the front panel and right side panel.  
ꢀ) Close the condenser water supply line shut-off valve and open the condenser water  
supply line drain valve. See Fig. 9.  
3) Attach a compressed air or carbon dioxide supply to the condenser water supply line  
drain valve.  
4) Open the water regulating valve by using a screwdriver to pry up on the spring retainer  
underneath the spring. While holding the valve open, blow out the condenser using the  
compressed air or carbon dioxide supply until water stops coming out.  
5) Close the condenser water supply line drain valve and replace the right side panel in its  
correct position.  
2. Remove the water from the icemaker water supply line:  
1) If you have not already done so, turn off the power supply and remove the front panel.  
ꢀ) Close the icemaker water supply line shut-off valve and open the icemaker water  
supply line drain valve. See Fig. 9.  
3) Allow the line to drain by gravity.  
4) Attach a compressed air or carbon dioxide supply to the icemaker water supply line  
drain valve.  
5) Make sure at least 3 minutes have elapsed since you turned off the power supply.  
Make sure the control switch is in the "ICE" position. Replace the front panel in its  
correct position and turn on the power supply.
