Remove packaging materials NOTE: Do not remove any permanent instruction labels or the data label on your ice maker. Remove tape and glue from your ice maker before using.
Location Requirements 4” To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed. Allow at least 4” (101mm) clearance at rear, and 0.6” (15mm) at the top and sides for proper air circulation. The installation should allow the ice maker to be pulled forward for servicing if necessary.

Recommended grounding method For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power supply cord having a NEMA 5-15P 3-prong grounded plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating NEMA 5-15R 3-pronged, wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
Water Supply and Drain Connections The water supply and drain should be ready at the point of installation. A wall outlet directly behind the ice maker will make under-counter installation easier. NOTE: All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements. Professional installation is recommended.

Installation Types This ice maker has been designed for Mobile (free-standing), Enclosed, or Built-in (sealed) installation. Mobile installation: A mobile installation will allow you to install the icemaker free-standing in any place you desire provided you have access to a water supply and drainage facilities.
drain connections and the nut of the drain water hole. Tighten any connections or fittings that leak. 5. If electrical outlet for the ice maker is behind the cabinet, plug in the ice maker. 6. Push the ice maker into position. 7.
Operating Method Switch on the Power switch on the front panel. The light will be on. The maker will start working automatically and feeding water. After the first feeding of the water, the machine will automatically go to the ice making stage, and the sound of water spraying will be heard.
hot gas valve and water inlet valve open to warm up the freezing surface, allowing the cubes to fall into the bin. Once completed, the freeze cycle begins repeatedly until the ice has satisfied the maximum level in the bin, then the water and compressor are shut down until sufficient ice is drawn below the bin level sensor and the cycle again resumes.
• The high-efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound. • Water running from the water bin to the evaporator plate may make a splashing sound. • Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a splashing sound.
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life. The maintenance intervals listed are based on normal conditions. You may want to shorten the intervals if you have pets, or the unit is used outdoors, or there are other special considerations. What shouldn't be done? Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is not ice: objects like wine and beer bottles are not only unsanitary, but the labels may slip off and plug up the...
Condenser Cleaning A dirty or clogged condenser prevents proper airflow, reduces ice making capacity, and causes higher than recommended operating temperatures that may lead to component failure. Have the condenser cleaned at least once every three months. 1. Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power. 2.

DO NOT use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may transmit taste to the ice cubes, or damage or discolor the interior. SPRINKLE HEAD CLEANING NOTE: The sprinkler should only be cleaned when you find that some of the ice cubes are improperly shaped during ice making.

4. Find which water sector is not spraying correctly from the nozzle. If the slideway is the issue, adjust the position of slideway to have all the water sectors free forward to the ice mold. If the water sectors are free, but some sectors is not spraying properly, using a new tooth-brush, clean the gap of the nozzle several times.
10. Reassembly the sprinkler arm, slideway and the flake covers. 11. After the Icemaker System Cleaning procedure below. Ice Making System Cleaning Minerals that are removed from water during the freezing cycle will eventually form a hard scaly deposit in the water system. Cleaning the system regularly helps remove the mineral scale buildup.
Automatic Clean Mode. 5. Allow 30 minutes for proper cleaning. After cleaning, shut off the power switch, and unscrew the nut of the water-draining hole. Drain off the waste water to some container, and then screw the nut on tightly when the waste water is fully drained off.
2. GREEN LED: Ice making indicator light. When this LED is lit (solid), the unit is working in the ice making mode controlled by a temperature probe on the evaporator. When the green LED is flashing, the unit is working in the ice making mode controlled by a fixed timer.
