MAINTENANCE

√ Periodically vacuum dust and dirt from the

condenser, located behind the grille at the

bottom front of the unit.

√ Regularly inspect plumbing connections to

insure that no leaks are present.

When necessary, defrost and thoroughly clean the

inside of the unit with mild soap and water.  Do

not use electrical heating devices, sharp or

pointed tools when defrosting.

When defrosting or leaving the unit turned off,

prop and leave the door open using door prop.

This allows air to dry the inside of the cabinet,

reducing the chance for mildew and damage to

the mold mechanism's components.

WINTERIZING

WARNING:  Disconnect power at source

before working on the unit.  Do not winterize

this unit with ANY type of anti-freeze; damage

to the mold coating will occur, invalidating

product's Limited Warranty and creating

potential health hazard.

1. Shut off the water supply to the unit.

2. Disconnect as follows:

Model 85:  Disconnect water supply connector

behind  front grille at solenoid valve (garden hose

connector).  Remove white plastic tubing and nut

from bottom of solenoid valve.

Model 84:  Disconnect the in-line water supply

connector behind the front grille.

3. Turn power on.  Allow unit to run for an hour.

Remove any cubes that may have been ejected

during this period.  Turn off power and prop

door open to allow the inside to defrost.  After

it has defrosted, wipe it dry and leave door

open using door prop.

RECOMMISSIONING

Connect water supply lines, turn on water, check

for leaks, then restore power to the unit.  After

initial cool down of 45-60 minutes, the unit will

cycle approximately every 40 minutes.

MAINTENANCE

START-UP

Turn on water, check for leaks and then turn on

power.  Turn on switch (located just below Icer-ette

door).  Fan and compressor will normally turn on

immediately, resulting in air circulation through the

grille and a faint hum from the compressor.  If

machine was shut off while in ice harvesting cycle,

it will have to complete the cycle before compressor

and fan turn on (approximately 5 minutes).  Interior

temperature will drop below freezing.  First harvest

of ice should occur within 60 minutes of start-up.

After lines are purged of air, normal harvesting and

refilling occur every 40 minutes or less, under normal

conditions.
