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.
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.
