Operating instructions
. Confirm ice bin is in place and ice maker arm is
down.
. After freezer section reaches
approximately 0° to 2° F (-18 ° to
-17 ° C), ice maker fills with water
and begins operating. You will have
a complete harvest of ice
approximately every three hours.
. Allow approximately 24 hours after installation to
receive first harvest of ice.
* Discard ice created within first 12 hours of operation
to verify system is flushed of impurities.
. Stop ice production by raising ice maker arm until

. The first one or two batches willprobably contain
undersized and irregular cubes because of air in the

several cubes to be joined together at the ends. They
can easily be broken apart. The ice maker will
continue to make ice until the supply of ice cubes
raises the sensor arm, shutting the ice maker off.
. Certain sounds may accompany the various cycles of
the ice maker. The motor may have a slight hum, the
cubes will rattle as they fall into an empty storage
pan and the water valve may click or "buzz"
occasionally.
If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will
become cloudy, shrink, stick together and taste stale.
Empty the ice storage bin periodically and wash it in
lukewarm waten Be sure to dry the bin thoroughly
before replacing it.
Beverages and foods should not be placed in the ice
storage bin for quick chilling. These items can block
the sensor arm, causing the ice maker to
malfunction.

supply is to be shut off for several hours.

. Pull it forward, away from the ice maker. To avoid the
ice maker dumping ice while the bin is removed, turn
the ice maker off by raising the sensor arm.
