Preparing the Icemaker for Long Storage

2.Storage Bin and Scoop

•Wash your hands before removing ice. Use the plastic scoop provided (bin accessory).

•The storage bin is for ice use only. Do not store anything else in the bin.

•Keep the scoop clean. Clean it by using a neutral cleaner and rinse thoroughly.

•Clean the bin liner by using a neutral cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.

3.Air Filter

A 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 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 tank and remove the ice from the storage bin. The storage bin 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)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)Allow 5 minutes for the icemaker to fill with water and the water pump to start operating.

6)Close the water-cooled condenser water supply line shut-off valve. See Fig. 14b.

7)Open the drain valve for the water-cooled condenser water supply line.

8)Allow the line to drain by gravity.

9)Quickly attach compressed air or carbon dioxide supply to the condenser water line drain valve.

10)Blow the water-cooled condenser out using compressed air or carbon dioxide until water stops coming out.

KM-1800SAH/3, KM-1800SWH/3, KM-1800SRH/3 specifications
