INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION OF YOUR ICE MAKER
Locate the ice maker away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.).
Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consump-
tion. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the ice maker not to perform properly.
Plug the ice maker into an exclusive properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
IMPORTANT
: Do not install the Ice maker near an oven, radiator, or other heat source.
SPACE REQUIREMENTS
During transportation, the incline angle of the cabinet should not be over 45°
Do not turn the Ice Maker upside down. Problems could occur in the compressor and
sealed system.
The Ice maker should be placed horizontally on a properly leveled surface.
To ensure proper ventilation for your Ice maker allow 6” of space at the back and on each
side.
Before using the Ice maker for the first time, please wait 4 hours after positioning it.
Clean the ice shovel, ice basket, water reservoir, and ice scoop frequently.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Open the top cover and remove the ice basket.
2. Remove any dust or objects that may be in the water tank.
3. Fill the water tank up to the line marked “___ ___”. Fill with potable or drinking water only.
4. Select desired ice cube size by pressing the Size Selector (Small, Medium, or Large)
5. Water will be pumped from the water reservoir to the water tray under the freezing bars. The
freezing bars will start freezing. Once the freezing process is completed, the freezing bars
will heat up to drop the ice cubes. Then the ice shovel will push the ice cubes down to the ice
basket."
6. When the unit is used for the first time, discard the first couple batches of ice.
7. The ice maker will automatically check the water level in the reservoir periodically; it will de-
tect any shortage of water and will stop the ice-making cycle. The water indicator will then
start flashing. Press the ON/OFF button to turn off the unit and fill the reservoir with water.
Press the ON/OFF button again to restart the ice-making cycle or wait 3 minutes after the
water indicator stops flashing as the ice maker will begin it’s normal operation cycle automati-
cally.
8. When the ice cubes reach the ice full sensor, the ice maker will stop operating and the ICE
FULL indicator will be displayed.
9. Change water in the water reservoir every 24 hours to ensure a reasonable hygiene level. If
unit is not in use, drain all water left in the tank.
