For Freezers with an Icemaker
Connecting the Water Supply
• Not all the necessary hardware is provided for installation so you should hire a professional
licensed plumber to complete the installation.
• Connect tubing (supplied with unit) to the nearest cold-water source. Connect sufficient tubing to
the unit to allow the appliance to be moved freely for cleaning and service. Also make sure that
the tubing is not pinched or damaged during transportation.
• Position the unit to allow free airflow through the front of the unit. Wipe out inside of unit and ice
bin with a damp cloth.
Initial Start-Up Operation
1. Plug the appliance into a 115/120V AC polarized and grounded wall electrical outlet.
2. Make sure the water supply is on. As soon as the inner mechanism reaches the proper
temperature, the icemaker mechanism will fill the mold with water.
3. The first cubes may be small because of air in the water line. Later cubes will be of standard
crescent- moon shape.
4. Approximate time for the first cycle is between 30-40 minutes.
5. Each cycle will take approximately 0.15 quarts of water so the ice bin should be full after 11
hours.
NOTE:
Discard all ice cubes made during the first 3 hours of operation.
• When the ice bin is full, the ice-making mechanism will automatically shut off.
However, the system will continue to cool and maintain the supply of cubes.
• Ice delivery may be interrupted by raising the metal arm into an upright position
(see illustration).
• If the ice maker is not used regularly, it is recommended that the ice bin be
emptied periodically to insure fresh ice.
• Sometimes the cubes may appear cloudy. This should not be a cause for concern
and has nothing to do with the taste or chemical make-up of the water.
• This unit should be defrosted approximately every 4-6 weeks or when frost on the ice maker
walls is excessive or ¼” thick. To defrost, disconnect power to the unit, remove cubes and keep
door open at least two inches. There is a drain located in the rear.
• This refrigerator/freezer is not designed to operate when exterior temperatures are below 45°F. If
you have seasons with temperatures routinely that low, the unit should be unplugged, cleaned
and stored for the winter. Always leave the door slightly ajar during storage so odors will not
build up inside the unit. Once a season, the stainless steel exterior can be lightly coated with
WD-40 to restore luster and protect the finish.
