OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
UNPACKING & PREPARING THE ICE MAKER
• Open the Ice Maker cover, and carefully remove the tape securing the ice shovel,
ice bin and scoop.
• Wipe the water reservoir with a soft damp cloth.
• Hand-wash the ice bin and scoop with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
• Ensure the water drain plug (located underneath the front of the Ice Maker) is closed.
• Place the Ice Maker on a level counter top away from direct sunlight or other heat
sources (such as a stove, oven, furnace or radiator). Position the Ice Maker to allow a
minimum of four inches between the appliance and the wall(s) while providing access to
a power outlet.
• Once the Ice Maker is positioned, allow at least two (2) hours for the refrigerant fluid and
compressor oil to separate and settle before plugging in the appliance.
IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDED PLUG CAN RESULT IN THE
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IF THE POWER CORD IS DAMAGED
PLEASE CALL TRAMONTINA’S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT
(800-221-7809) FOR ASSISTANCE.
CONNECTING & USING THE ICE MAKER
• The Ice Maker requires a standard 110-120 volt, 60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong
grounded outlet. Do not use a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet to connect the unit.
• The Ice Maker has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety
feature, this plug fits in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
DO NOT
attempt to work around this safety feature. No additional appliances should
be plugged into the outlet while using the Ice Maker.
• Connect the power plug into a suitable outlet. The green power indicator light will blink
(approximately every five seconds).
• Open the cover and remove the ice bin. Pour water into the water reservoir up to the
maximum water line.
•
The use of distilled or purified water is recommended, as regular tap water has a
higher mineral content and may leave residues in the Ice Maker.
• Replace the ice bin and close the cover.
• Press the
ON/OFF
button to start the Ice Maker. The green indicator light remains
illuminated.
• Press the
CUBE SIZE
button to select either the
SMALL
or
LARGE
ice cube size.
• Prior to beginning the first ice making cycle, water will circulate through the machine for
approximately one minute. When this circulation is complete, the water tray will be filled
with water.
BEFORE USING THE ICE MAKER
• Read this instruction guide, taking special note of the “Important Safeguards”
& “Safety Instructions” sections.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT:
This appliance will not preserve ice. Water from melted ice continuously
recycles into new ice cubes. Performance varies pending conditions of use and
ambient temperature. Maximum ice production is based on 24 hour operation.
ICE BIN FULL INDICATOR
• When the ice bin is filled, the
ICE BIN FULL
red indicator light illuminates and
ice production stops.
• Use the ice scoop to remove the ice cubes, or empty the ice bin to a freezer or cooler
for storage.
• Once the ice bin is emptied, close the cover. The Ice Maker will begin another
production cycle.
NOTE:
Press the
CUBE SIZE
button for five seconds to force the Ice Maker to make
10 additional cycles, even if the
ICE BIN FULL
red indicator light is illuminated.
NOTE:
Direct sunlight or sunlight reflection may cause the ice capacity sensors to
malfunction, allowing the Ice Maker to continue producing ice, even when the ice bin is full.
If these sensors malfunction, move the appliance to a darker location, away from direct
sunlight or sunlight reflection.
ADD WATER INDICATOR
•
The
ADD WATER
red indicator light illuminates when the water reservoir is out of water,
and ice production stops.
•
Open the cover, remove the ice bin and pour water into the water reservoir up to the
maximum water level line.
•
Replace the ice bin and close the cover. The Ice Maker will begin another production
cycle.
IMPORTANT:
This product features color tinted stainless steel suitable for indoor use
only. Color may fade if exposed to direct sunlight. Color fading is not covered under the
manufacturer’s warranty (Model # 80901/106 Red, 80901/107 Teal, 80901/108 Bronze).
• The Ice Maker will remain idle for approximately two minutes, and then begin the
ice making process.
NOTE:
When using the Ice Maker for the first time, or after an extended storage period,
discard the first few batches of ice.
Ice Production Chart
• To maximize productivity, promptly empty the filled ice bin to a freezer or cooler for
storage. Also ensure there is adequate water during ice production.
• The Ice Maker will maintain the ice within the appliance for several hours (duration varies
on ambient temperatures).
NOTE:
If using the Ice Maker on a daily basis, change the water in the water reservoir
every 24 hours to ensure fresh water is available for ice production.
