1) Turn off the power supply, then remove the front panel.
2) Close the icemaker water supply line shut-off valve and open the icemaker water supply
line drain valve.
3) Allow the line to drain by gravity.
4) Attach a compressed air or carbon dioxide supply to the icemaker water supply line
drain valve.

sure the control switch is in the "ICE" position. Replace the front panel in its correct
position, then turn on the power supply.

3) Drain the water tank.
a) On KM-320M_H, KM-515M_H,
KM-600M_H, KM-650M_H, and
KM-901M_H, remove the base cover, then
disconnect one end of the pump tubing to
drain the water tank. See Fig. 6. After the
water tank has drained, reconnect the pump
tubing.
b) On KM-1340M_H and KM-1601M_H, remove the rubber cap covering the overflow
pipe in the water tank. Remove the overflow pipe by turning it counterclockwise. After
the water tank has drained, replace the overflow pipe and the rubber cap in their
