Normal Sounds
Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the sounds are
normal. Hard surfaces like the floor and walls can make the sounds seem louder than they
actually are. The following list describes the sounds that might be new to you and what
may be causing them.
•
Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items
stored on top of the ice maker can also make noises.
•
The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
•
Water running may make a splashing sound.
•
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
•
During the harvest cycle, you may hear the sound of ice cubes falling into the ice
storage bin.
•
You will occasionally hear the sound of the drain pump operating.
Preparing the Ice Maker 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.
Shut off the electric supply at the main electrical power source.
4.
Take out the ice storage bin to remove any remaining ice and water. Dry the bin.
5.
Pull off the drainage tube of the water trough to drain off all water.
6.
Leave the door open to allow for circulation and to prevent mold and mildew.
7.
Leave 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 cord. Grasp the plug and pull out firmly.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
If the ice maker is left unused for a long time, before the next
use it must be thoroughly cleaned. Follow carefully any
instructions provided for cleaning or use of sanitizing
solutions. Do not leave any solution inside the ice maker after
cleaning.
