C. Preparing the Icemaker for Long Storage
NOTICE
1. When storing the icemaker for an extended time or in sub-freezing
temperatures, follow the instructions below to prevent damage.
2. To prevent damage to the water pump, do not leave the control switch in
the "SERVICE" position for extended periods of time when the water tank
is empty.
When the icemaker is not used for two or three days under normal conditions, it is
suffi cient to move the control switch to the “OFF” position. When storing the icemaker for
an extended time or in sub-freezing temperatures, follow the instructions below.
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.
2) Move the control switch on the control box to the “OFF” position.
3) Wait 3 minutes.
4) Move the control switch to the “ICE” position.
5) Replace the front panel in its correct position and turn on the power supply.
6) Allow 5 minutes for the icemaker to fill with water and the water pump to start
operating.
7) Close the condenser water supply line shut-off valve. If connected to a closed loop
system, also close the condenser return line shut-off valve. See Fig. 10 or 11.
8) Open the condenser water supply line drain valve. If connected to a closed loop
system, also open the condenser return line drain valve.
9) Allow the line to drain by gravity.
10) Attach compressed air or carbon dioxide supply to the condenser water supply line
drain valve.
11) Blow the condenser out using compressed air or carbon dioxide supply until water
stops coming out.
