ICE MAKER SAFETY Your safety and the safety of others are very important We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages. This is the Safety Alert Symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can injure or kill you and others.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS Before the ice maker is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. We strongly recommends that you have a professional install your new machine. warranty may be affected or voided by an incorrect installation. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the ice maker, follow basic precautions, including the following: •...
• Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the ice maker and cabinet. • The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes. • It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to work properly. Otherwise water may not flow properly through the evaporator (ice mold).
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that you do not use an extension cord with this ice maker.

• This ice maker should be properly installed by qualified personnel. • To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed. • When installing the ice maker under a counter, follow the recommended spacing dimensions shown.
accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required. IMPORTANT: Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the icemaker and wall or cabinet. Electrical requirements Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3- prong outlet. Never remove the ground prong from the plug.
Leveling the ice maker It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to work properly. Otherwise water will not flow properly through the evaporator (ice mold). The ice production will be less than normal, and may be noisy.

4. Position the door on the bottom hinge. 5. Align the door on the bottom hinge and replace the top hinge and top hinge mat. 6. Replace top hinge cover. 7. Push the plug buttons into the original screw holes. See Figure below.
Water Supply The water supply should be ready at the point of installation. The water supply pressure should be a minimum of 15 psig with a static pressure not more than 80 psig. (A wall outlet directly behind the ice machine will make installation easier.) IMPORTANT: 1.
2. All horizontal runs of drain lines must have a fall of ¼” per foot. An air gap will likely be required between the ice maker drain tube and the drain/waste receptacle. A standpipe with a trap below it would be acceptable for the drain/waste receptacle. A floor drain is also acceptable.
OPERATION Final Check List before Operation 1. Have all packing materials and tape been removed from the interior and exterior of the ice maker? 2. Did you clean the ice storage bin? 3. Have the installation instructions been followed, including connecting the machine to water and electricity? 4.
ice storage bin. 4. When the ice storage bin is full, the sheet of cubes will not fall completely and will hold the bin-full probe open. The machine automatically stops making ice and progresses to the cold preservation stage. During this stage, the compressor works regularly to keep the temperature low for less ice melting.
Evaporator Water inlet Water pump Hot gas valve Compressor Fan motor Condenser Normal sounds Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor and walls can make the sounds louder than they actually are.
6. Leave the door open to allow for circulation and to prevent mold and mildew. 7. Leave water supply line and power cord disconnected until ready to reuse. IMPORTANT: • Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet. •...
Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit is disconnected and the water line is shut off. Exterior cleaning The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water solution such as 1 oz.
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 six months. Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power. Gently pull off the lower front louver.

1. Make sure that all the ice is off the evaporator. If ice is being formed, wait until the cycle is completed, then press the machine’s ON/OFF switch on the control panel. 2. Remove all ice from the storage bin. 3.
Control panel: Description of LEDs and buttons: Bin full indicator light Bin Full (Red) LED When this is lit, the ice storage bin is full of ice or there is some thing blocking the bin-full probe. The unit will stop working. When ice cubes are removed from the ice storage bin, freeing the bin-full probe, the red LED will remain flashing for 3 minutes, then the unit will restart and return to the ice making mode.
MAJOR FUNCTIONS 1. The operating procedure is completely automatic. 2. When the ice storage bin is full of ice cubes,the machine stops making ice and proceeds to the cold preservation stage automatically. It starts making ice again after ice cubes are removed. 3.
TROUBLESHOOTING Before Calling for Service If the unit appears to be malfunctioning, read through the OPERATION section of this manual first. If the problem persists, check the Troubleshooting Guide on the following pages. Some of the problems mentioned in the Guide can be solved easily without a service call.
