Normal Sounds
Your new icemaker may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them.
∙Ratting noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line, Items stored on top of the icemaker can also make noises.
∙The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high- pitched sound.
∙Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a splashing sound.
∙You will hear a swooshing sound when the water valve opens to fill the water sump for each cycle.
∙As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your icemaker.
∙You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
∙During the harvest cycle, you may hear the of ice cubes falling into the ice storing bin.
∙When you first start the ice maker, you may hear water running continuously. The ice maker is programmed to run a rinse cycle before it begins to make ice.
Preparing the Icemaker for Long Storage
If the ice maker will not be used for a long time, or is to be moved to another place, it will be necessary to drain the system of water.
1.Shut off the water supply at the main water source.
2.Disconnect the water supply line from the water inlet.
3.Disconnect the drain pipe to the drain line or floor drain.
4.Allow the ice maker to run for an hour or more until all remaining ice cubes have been ejected from the ice maker assembly.
5.Shut off the electric supply at the main electrical power source.
6.Screw off the nut of the water drain hole at the back of the machine, drain out water residue completely (do not loosen or screw off the nut at other times), then tighten the nut after finishing.
7.Drop the door open to allow for air circulation and prevent mold and mildew.
8.Leave the water supply line and power cord disconnected until ready to reuse.
IMPORTANT:
•Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet.
•Never unplug the unit by pulling on the plug.
