6 FLUSH OUT THE DRAIN HOSE

A. Restore power to the unit. B. With the unit still OFF, pour several quarts of water into the bin. The drain pump should turn on and pump the water out of the bin, cycling on and off several times during the process. Pump cycling is normal since the pump-out rate of the drain pump is greater than the rate of drain through the bin. C. While the pump is discharging water, THOROUGHLY CHECK THE ENTIRE DRAIN SYSTEM FOR LEAKS.

7 GOURMET CUBE ICE MACHINE ONLY

Attach stainless steel shield to side of condenser shroud using provided screws.
