A. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
AND OPERATION
1. The refrigerator must be connected to 120 volts AC
(VAC) before the ice maker can operate. The water
valve supplying the refrigerator must be turned on, and
the ice level bail arm in the fully down position. See
Figure 1).
2. On absorption driven ice maker models, the refrigerator
thermostat setting will directly influence the ice yield of
the unit. When operating the refrigerator thermostat
control at a "MID" or "LOWER" setting, the thermostat
should be placed to a higher setting during expected ice
maker production or demand. When not requiring high
ice making yields, the refrigerator should be positioned
back to a normal operating setting.
3. 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 emptied, or ice cubes are removed.
4. To prevent water from splashing out of the mold
assembly when your recreational vehicle is moving,
raise the bail arm to the full "UP/OFF" position about 1-
1/2 hours before departing. This will allow the water in the
mold to freeze.
5. Due to the continued influx of water to the ice maker
mechanism and freezer compartment, frost formation
will naturally be accelerated in any absorption ice maker
model. A frost accumulation of approximately 1/2 inch
or thicker accumulation will begin to impede the cool-
ing and ice making production of the unit. A simple
defrost operation may be required to resume normal ice
maker production.
B. WATER SUPPLY
The water supply system must have a minimum pressure
of 15 pounds per square inch gauge (psig). A 1/4" diameter
water line to the water valve should be used at the rear of
the refrigerator. The water line must have a manual shutoff
valve placed where it is easily accessible.
C. HOW TO ADJUST SIZE OF CUBES
Note
: If the ice maker was cleaned and drained, no ice cubes
will be dumped into the bin during the first cycle.
1. The first few cycles may have small cubes due to air
trapped in the water lines. The first container of ice
cubes should be dumped if the water system has been
winterized or not used for several weeks.
2. Once the ice maker has run through several cycles and
if cubes are too small or sticking together, adjustment
is necessary on the amount of water entering the mold.
3. Remove the protective cover from the ice maker mecha-
nism. See Figure 2.
4. Locate the adjusting screw under the protective cover.
Turn the screw counterclockwise to increase the size
of cubes. Turn the screw clockwise to decrease the
cube size or if the mold is overfilling, and the cubes are
stuck together.
Important:
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 adjustments are
complete.
