Preparing The Icemaker For Long Storage - Hoshizaki DCM-270BAH-OS Instruction Manual

C. Preparing the Icemaker for Long Storage
When the icemaker is not used for two or three days under normal conditions,
it is sufficient to only move the power switch to the "OFF" position. When
storing the icemaker for extended time or in sub-freezing temperatures, turn
the water off and drain out all water from the water lines and remove the ice
from the storage bin. The storage bin should be cleaned and dried. Drain
the icemaker water hoses using air or carbon dioxide to prevent damage at
sub-freezing temperatures.
1) Close the water supply line shut-off valve and open the water supply line drain valve.
2) Dispense all of the ice from the storage bin.
3) Move the power switch to the "OFF" position, then remove the louver and air filter. See
Fig. 5. Move the control switch to the "DRAIN" position, then move the power switch to
the "ON" position. Allow the water system to drain completely (you will see the water
draining into the drain pan).
Note: To ensure that the drain valve opens immediately, you must move the power
switch to the "OFF" position before moving the control switch to the "DRAIN"
position. Otherwise, you may have to wait 2.5 minutes for the components to
cycle down before the drain valve opens.
4) Attach a compressed air or carbon dioxide supply to the water supply line drain valve.
5) While engaging the water dispense switch, blow out the water dispense valve using the
compressed air or carbon dioxide supply. After blowing out the water dispense valve,
leave the compressed air or carbon dioxide supply flowing. Move the control switch
to the "ICE" position to open the inlet water valve and briefly blow out the valve. After
blowing out the inlet water valve, move the power switch to the "OFF" position.
6) Close the water supply line drain valve.
7) Unplug the icemaker.
8) Remove the front panel. On the push-button model, disconnect the connector. Remove
the top panel and bin top. Clean the storage bin liner and the inside of the bin top using
a neutral cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning. CAUTION: Be sure to keep the
switch mounted on the bin top dry. Dry the storage bin liner and the inside of the bin
top using a clean cloth.
9) Replace the air filter, louver, bin top, and panels in their correct positions. On the
push-button model, reconnect the connector. WARNING! CHOKING HAZARD:
Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place. Make
sure that none have fallen into the storage bin.
