icE MAkER
how it woRkS
Before the ice maker can operate, make sure that the:
• Refrigerator is connected to 120 V AC.
• Water valve supplying the refrigerator is turned on.
• Ice level bail arm is in its fully down position.
When the ice maker thermostat senses the preset temperature
for the ejection of the ice cubes, the fingers will start to rotate,
dumping any ice cubes and filling the mold with water. When
the storage container is full, the bail arm will come in contact
with the ice cubes. The bail arm cannot return to the full down
position and the ice production is stopped until the bin is emp-
tied, or ice cubes are removed.
When on the road, the water in the icemaker might, depending
on road conditions, splash out of the mold. To avoid splashing,
the mold needs to be either empty - or - the water in the mold
must be frozen.
wAtER SUppLy
The water supply system must have a minimum pressure of
15 pounds per square inch gauge (psig). Use a 1/4" diameter
water line to the water valve at the rear of the refrigerator. The
water line must have a manual shutoff valve placed where it is
easily accessible.
The maximum water level is represented by a thin line. It is
essential that the water level does not exceed this line!

ADjUSTING THE SIzE

The first container of ice cubes should be dumped if the water
system has been winterized or not used for several weeks.
Note that if the ice maker have been cleaned and drained, no
ice cubes will be dumped into the bin during the first cycle.
The first few cycles may produce small cubes due to air trapped
in the water lines. Once the ice maker has run through several
cycles and if the cubes are too small or sticking together, ad-
justment is necessary on the amount of water entering the mold.
To adjust the size of cubes, follow these steps:
1. Remove the protective cover from the ice maker
mechanism.
2. Locate the adjusting screw under the protective
cover.
. To increase the size of cubes, turn the screw counter
clockwise. To decrease the cube size or if the cubes
are stuck together, turn the screw clockwise.
NOTE! To prevent overfilling, DO NOT turn the adjustment
screw more than one revolution at a time. Allow the ice maker
to cycle several times before another adjustment is made. Be
sure to replace the protective cover on the cycle after the adjust-
ments are complete.
