NOTE: If the filter is not correctly locked into place, the ice maker will not produce ice.
Vacation and moving
To shut down the ice maker:
1.Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power.
2.Remove all ice from the storage bin.
3.Shut off the water supply. If the ambient temperature of the room will drop below 32°F (0°C), water must be removed from the drain line.
3.Pour 1 gallon. (3.78541 L) of water into the ice bin near the drain and let the ice maker stand for approximately 5 minutes. This will allow the water in the bin to drain into the drain pump so the pump will remove the remaining water from the ice bin and drain the pump.
4.Unplug ice maker or disconnect power.
For ice makers with a drain pump installed:
1.Plug in ice maker or reconnect power.
2.Turn ice production off and remove all remaining ice from ice bin.
Before using again, clean the ice maker and storage bin. Plug in the ice maker or reconnect power and turn on the water supply tor resume ice making operation.
Reverse Osmosis system
IMPORTANT: The performance of the ice maker may be affected when connected to a Reverse Osmosis system. An RO system may also reduce water pressure and affect the fill cycle, which is dependent on time and flow. The reduced water pressure may cause the reservoir not to fill and flush properly during the ice making cycle.
The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the ice maker needs to be between 30 and 120 psi.
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 psi. The reverse osmosis system must provide 1 gal. of water per hour to the ice maker for proper ice maker operation.
