WARNING
All parts are factory-adjusted. Improper adjustments may adversely affect safety,
performance, component life, and warranty coverage.
NOTICE
• If the icemaker is turned off, wait for at least 3 minutes before restarting the
icemaker to prevent damage to the compressor.
• To prevent damage to the water pump seal, do not leave the control switch in the
"WASH" position for extended periods when the water tank is empty.
• At startup, confirm that all internal and external connections are free of leaks.
Additional Notice for Remote Models
• The icemaker must have power for a minimum of 4 hours prior to startup to
prevent compressor damage.
1) Open the water supply line shut-off valve(s).
2) Remove the front panel.
3) Move the control switch on the control box to the "ICE" position.

6) Turn off the power supply, then remove the front panel.
7) Remove the insulation panel. Remove the drain plug located on the lower front part of
the ice chute. See Fig. 16. Allow the water tank to drain.
