Special precautions must be taken if the ice machine is to
be removed from service for an extended period of time or
exposed to ambient temperatures of 32 °F (0 °C) or below.
If water is allowed to remain in the ice machine
in freezing temperatures, severe damage to some
components could result. Damage of this nature is not
covered by the warranty.
