OPERATING YOUR ICE MAKER
Initial Start-Up Operation
1.
Make sure the unit is properly installed by a licensed plumber.
2.
Make sure the On/Off switch is in the “OFF” position.
3.
Plug the appliance into a standard/grounded electrical outlet.
4.
Place the On/Off switch in the “ON” position.
5.
Make sure the water supply is on. As soon as the inner mechanism of the
ice maker reaches the proper temperature, the ice maker mold will fill with
water.
6.
The first ice cubes may be small, because of air initially in the water line.
Later ice cubes will be of standard crescent mood type and size.
7.
Approximate time for the first cycle is 30-40 minutes.
8.
Each cycle takes approximately 140 ML of water; you should have a full ice
bucket after 11 hours.
IMPORTANT: Discard all ice cubes made during the first 3 hours of operation.
