Operation

1. Plug the appliance into a 115/120v polarized and grounded wall electrical outlet.
2. Place the on-off switch in the " " or "ON" position.
3. Make sure the water supply is on. As soon as the inner mechanism reaches the
proper temperature, the ice maker will fill the ice molds with water.
• The first cubes may be small because of air in the water line. Later cubes will
be of standard crescent type size.
• The first cycle takes between 30-40 minutes.
• Each cycle will take five (5) oz of water approximately, so you should have a
full compartment of ice after 20 hours.
Note: Throw away all ice cubes made during the first three (3) hours of operation.
• When the ice bucket is full, the ice making mechanism will automatically shut off.
• When enough ice has been removed, the ice making mechanism will start again.
• Ice delivery may be interrupted by raising the metal arm into an upright position.
• If the ice maker is not used regularly, it is recommended that the ice bucket be emptied periodically to ensure
fresh ice.
• Sometimes the cubes may appear cloudy. This is due to the rapid freezing of the ice cube. This is trapped air in
the water and does not affect the taste and quality of the ice.
• The front grille should be kept free of dust and lint to allow free airflow.
WARNING: Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable
!
propellant in this appliance!

Maintenance

Defrosting

This unit should be defrosted approximately every 4-6 weeks or when frost on the ice maker walls is excessive or 1/4"
thick. If the ambient temperature is above 100°F (38°C), defrosting should be more often or the ice production will
be affected.
To defrost, turn the unit off, remove the ice cubes, and keep the door propped open at least two (2) inches.
