Normal Sounds; Preparing The Ice Maker For Long Storage - Franklin Chef FIM35 Manuel De L'utilisateur

Normal Sounds

Your new ice maker may make sounds that are unfamiliar to you. Most of the new
sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor and walls can amplify the sounds. The
following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be
causing them.
•
Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items
stored on top of the ice maker can also make noises.
•
The high-efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
•
Running water may make a splashing sound.
•
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
•
During the harvest cycle, you may hear the sound of ice cubes falling into the ice
storage bin.

Preparing the Ice Maker for Long Storage

If the ice maker will not be used for a long time, or is to be moved to another place, it
will be necessary to drain the system of water.
1. Shut off the water supply at the main water source.
2. Disconnect the water supply line from the water inlet.
3. Shut off the electric supply at the main electrical power source.
4. Take out the ice storage bin to remove ice and water. Dry it.
5. Screw off the lower drainage nut and drain out water completely, then tighten the nut
after finishing.
6. Pull off the drainage tube of the water trough to drain off all water.
7. Leave the door open to allow for circulation and to prevent mold and mildew.
8. Leave the water supply line and power cord disconnected until ready to reuse.
IMPORTANT:
•
Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet.
•
Never unplug the unit by pulling on the plug.
