H. Startup
WARNING
• All parts are factory-adjusted. Improper adjustments may adversely affect safety,
performance, component life, and warranty coverage.
• If the icemaker is turned off, wait for at least 3 minutes before restarting the
icemaker to prevent damage to the compressor.
• At startup, confirm that all internal and external connections are free of leaks.
1) Make sure the power switch is in the "OFF" position, and the appliance is unplugged
from the electrical outlet.
2) Open the water supply line shut-off valve. See Fig. 3.
3) Remove the louver and air filter. Move the control switch to the "ICE" position. Replace
the louver and air filter in their correct positions.
4) Plug the appliance into the electrical outlet. Move the power switch to the "ON" position
to start the automatic icemaking process.
5) Once the appliance starts to produce ice, allow it to run for 30 minutes.
6) After 30 minutes, while the appliance is energized, remove the front panel. On the
push-button model, disconnect the connector (5VDC). Next, remove the top panel.
7) Confirm bin control operation. Lift the balance plate located on the bin top until the
micro switch lever lifts and micro switch opens. See Fig. 4. 90-second compressor
shutdown timer starts. Once the 90-second compressor shutdown timer terminates,
compressor de-energizes and the 60-second gear motor shutdown timer starts. Once
the 60-second gear motor shutdown timer terminates, gear motor de-energizes.
Release the balance plate back to its correct position.
