Do not remove any safety, warning, or product information labels from your ice maker. Before you begin Preparing the Ice Maker for use before you plug the ice maker in to a power supply, be sure to let it stand upright for at least 24 hours to allow the compressor’s oils to settle. Unpacking the Ice Maker Carefully remove the packaging materials.
OPERATION Discard the first batch of ice produced by the freestanding ice maker. Direct sunlight may cause the ice full infrared sensor to malfunction. If the unit continues to produce ice even though the basket is full, you may need to move the unit away from the sunlight Before using your ice maker, it is strongly recommended to clean it thoroughly.
How the Freestanding Ice Maker Produces Ice After the unit is powered on, the ice maker begins with rotating the ice case into a horizontal water fill position under the evaporator rods. The water pump is engaged and fills the ice case with water. Water overflows for a few seconds before the compressor turns on.
Draining the unit This unit operates in a gravity drain system which clears excess water from the ice maker to ensure a continuous supply of ice. A water drain hose is provided with this unit. Firmly attach the drain hose to the drain outlet.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE The ice maker must be thoroughly cleaned if it has been left unused for a long time DO NOT turn the ice machine upside down to dry! This will cause the oils from the compressor to shift, which can result in the machine breaking or becoming inoperable.
