Winterizing Procedures 

 

Important! 

Whenever the ice machine is taken out of operation during the winter months, the procedure below must be 
performed.  Failure to do so may cause serious damage and will void all warranties. 
 
1.  Turn off water to machine. 
 
2.  Make sure all ice is off of the evaporator(s).  If ice is being made, initiate harvest or wait for cycle completion. 
 
3.  Place the ICE/OFF/WASH switch to the 

“OFF”

 position.  The switch is located in the control box. 

 
4.  Disconnect the tubing between the water pump discharge and water distribution tube. 
 
5.  Drain the water system completely.  
 
6.  On water cooled machines, hold the water regulating valve open by 

prying upward on the water valve spring with a screwdriver while 
using compressed air to blow all the water out of the condenser. 

 
7.  Remove all of the ice in the storage bin and discard.
