IV. Preparing the Icemaker for Periods of Non-Use
• When storing the icemaker for an extended time or in sub-freezing temperatures,
follow the instructions below to prevent damage.
• To prevent damage to the water pump seal, do not leave the control switch in the
"WASH" position for extended periods when the water tank is empty.
When the icemaker is not used for two or three days under normal conditions, it is
sufficient to move the control switch to the "OFF" position. When storing the icemaker for
an extended time or in sub-freezing temperatures, follow the instructions below.
1. Remove the water from the icemaker water supply line:
1) Turn off the power supply, then remove the front panel.
2) Move the control switch to the "OFF" position.
3) Close the icemaker water supply line shut-off valve, then open the icemaker water
supply line drain valve.

drain valve.
6) Move the control switch to the "ICE" position.
