No water in the reservoir.

Make sure that the reservoir drain plug is installed.

Check the water line to the unit to make sure it is

on and that there are no restrictions or kinks in the

line. Check all filters to make sure they are not

restricted or plugged.

Distributor tube is restricted. See “Cleaning the Ice Machine System” section for

cleaning the unit for proper operation.

Build-up of deposits on evaporator See “Cleaning the Ice Machine

plate. System” section for cleaning the unit for proper

operation.

Condenser fan air flow is restricted Make certain the grill in the front of the unit is free

and open for proper air circulation. Check and clean

the condenser coil by removing the grill in the front

of the unit. Clean the condenser with a vacuum and

brush attachment.

Room and/or water temperature Move the unit to an area where ambient

is too warm. temperature is below 90°F. The unit should not be

placed next to a heat source such as an oven.

Check for cold water connection.

Leaking drain valve See “Cleaning the Ice Machine System” section for

cleaning the unit. This will also dissolve and flush

out foreign material in the drain valve.

Inadequate drain system Restriction in drain lines will cause ice in the bin to

melt. If using a gravity drain, make certain there are

no kinks or restrictions in the drain lines. If using a

drain pump, check the inlet screen, discharge line,

and vent line for any build-up or restrictions.

Grid cutter is unplugged Plug in the grid cutter so that ice slabs can be cut

into cubes.

Ice is not clear Low water in level in reservoir. Make sure that the reservoir drain plug is installed

properly. Check the water line to the unit to make

sure there are no restrictions or kinks in the line.

Check all filters to make sure they are not restricted

or plugged.

Softened water supply Make certain that water line is not connected to the

water softener.

Room temperature it too cold. Move to an area where room temperature is above

55°F

PREPARING THE ICE MACHINE FOR

STORAGE

If the ice machine is moved, not used for an extended

period of time, or will be in a area below 45°F (7.2°C), it

is necessary to remove the water from the ice making

system.

Step 1: Clean the ice machine (refer to page 11.)

Step 2: Drain and remove water from ice making system.

1. Turn off the water supply to the ice machine.

2. Disconnect the water supply fitting at the inlet of the water valve.

3. Switch the rocker switch to “CLEAN” for approximately 1 minute. This will energize and open the water valve

and remove most of the water from the water valve and the water valve’s outlet water line to the reservoir.

4. Switch the rocker switch to “OFF”. This will energize and open the drain valve to drain the reservoir and the

ice machine drain system.

5. Unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.

6. Remove the back panel from the rear of the unit.

7. Disconnect the water valve’s outlet water line to the reservoir and drain the remaining water left in the water

line trap area.

8. Reconnect the water valve outlet water line and tighten the compression nut to a watertight seal.

9. Reinstall the unit’s back panel.

10. Clean and dry the ice machine’s storage bin.

11. Prop the door open for air circulation to prevent mold and mildew.

12. Leave the water supply line disconnected or reconnect the supply line and leave it shut off. DO NOT turn the

water and allow water to enter back into the water valve.

STEP 3: Drain water from optional drain pump, if applicable.

1. Remove the drain pump from the ice machine. (Refer to drain pump installation instructions).

2. Drain the water in the drain pump’s reservoir by running the pump upside down and allowing water to drain

through the pump’s inlet and vent tube fittings.

3. After all water is drained, reinstall the drain pump. Make certain all tubing is installed and all hose clamps are

tight. (Refer to drain pump installation instructions).

Step 4: Restart the ice machine when ready for use.

1. With the rocker switch in the “OFF” position, plug the unit into an electrical outlet.

2. Reconnect or turn on the water supply line.

3. Reconnect drain tubing if removed.

4. Turn the rocker switch to the “ON” position.

5. Check the water inlet, drain lines, and fittings for any water leaks.

6. Check drain pump, (if applicable), operation by pouring approximately 2 quarts (1.9 L) of water into the ice

storage bin. The drain pump should activate and discharge water. (Refer to drain pump installation

instructions). Check for water leaks at all hose connections.

The drain pump is not level. The drain pump must be level. Check for level on the

top of the drain pump case and adjust the tubing or use

shims to level.

CAUTION

This ice machine must have all water drained and removed to

prevent ice machine damages as well as possible water damage to

the surrounding area in freezing conditions. These damages are not

covered under warranty.

WARNING

Do not use any type of anti-freeze or other solutions as a

substitution for properly draining the ice machine.
