  • Page 7: Installation

    Installation The ice maker should be installed in accordance with local electrical code requirements. The ice maker should also be placed in a location that is strong enough to support its total weight, keeping in mind that it will weigh substantially more when fully loaded with water and ice than when empty. Before you plug the ice maker into a power supply, be sure to let it stand upright for at least 24 hours to allow the compressor’s oils to settle.

    Electrical Requirements ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD! • Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. • Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. • Never use an adapter to bypass the grounding prong. • DO NOT use an extension cord. • Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, electrical shock, or death. Before you move your Ice Maker into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper  electrical connection: A standard electrical supply (115 V, 60Hz), properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your ice maker, be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

  • Page 12: How The Ice Maker Produces Ice

    How the Ice Maker Produces Ice After the unit is powered on, the ice maker rotates the ice case into the horizontal water fill position  under the evaporator. The water pump is engaged and fills the ice case with water. Water overflows  for a few seconds before the compressor turns on. The compressor then pumps refrigerant, and the fan will turn on automatically after the condenser heats up. The unit produces bullet shaped ice around the evaporator.
