Operating Instructions
• Confirm ice bin is in place.
• After freezer section reaches between 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 hour.
• Allow approximately 3 to 6 hours after installation to
receive first harvest of ice.

operation to verify system is flushed of impurities.
• Stop ice production by pressing the ON/OFF switch
located on the front of the ice maker.
• The first one or two batches will probably contain
undersized and irregular cubes because of air in the
supply line.
• When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal for
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 ice maker 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 bin
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 water. 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
cause the ice maker to malfunction.
• Press the switch on the ice maker front to OFF when
the water supply is to be shut off for several hours.
