Helpful Information
Draining Your
Ice Maker
WARNING:
The internal holding com- partment of this appliance for both stored ice cubes and stored water is NOT a refrigerated compartment.
We recommend changing (replacing) any stored water that has not been used within a 12 hour time period of the machine being operational.
In order to maintain a hygien- ic environment within your ice maker and prevent the poten- tial formation of bacteria, it is highly recommended that you completely drain the ice maker after each use (daily) or if any water has been stored within the internal reservoir for in excess of twelve (12) Hours.
To drain your ice maker;
•Place a drip tray beneath the right rear portion of the cabinet. Depending on the amount of water contained in the internal reservoir, the water may exit the drain rap- idly. Tilt the drain pan slightly towards the drain spout to prevent water from projecting away from the intended water collection area.
•Remove the drain cap (as shown in fig. 9.1 ).
•When the exiting water flow decreases to a ‘trickle’ slightly tilt your ice maker backwards to ensure all the water that may have been stored inter- nally is thoroughly drained.
Once the water has been removed from the appliance, wipe the internal reservoir and ice bucket dry and leave the ice maker lid in the open position to expedite the drying process.
