3. Air Filter

The plastic mesh Air Filter 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 filter at least twice a month. When it is clogged, use warm water and a neutral cleaner to wash the filter.

4. Condenser

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.

C. 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.

1.Remove the water from the potable water supply line:

1)Remove the Air Filter if it has not already been removed.

2)Move the Control Switch on the Control Box to the “OFF” position.

3)Wait 3 minutes.

4)Close the potable water supply line Shut-off Valve and open the potable water supply line Drain Valve. See Figs. 4 and 5.

5)Allow the line to drain by gravity.

6)Attach compressed air or carbon dioxide supply to the potable water supply line Drain Valve.

7)Move the Control Switch to the “ICE” position.
