2. PREPARING THE ICEMAKER FOR LONG STORAGE
IMPORTANT
When shutting off the icemaker for an extended time, 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
using air or carbon dioxide to prevent damage to the water supply
lines at sub-freezing temperatures. Shut off the icemaker until the
proper ambient temperature is resumed.
