INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION OF YOUR ICE MAKER AND WATER DISPENSER
This unit should be installed by a licensed plumber only (DIRECT WATER CONNECTION METHOD only)
Before connecting the unit to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4 hours. This will reduce
the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.
Place the unit 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 consumption. Extreme cold ambient temper-
atures may also cause the unit not to perform properly. For best performance, water temperature should be
between 55ºF and 85ºF and ambient temperature between 65ºF and 77ºF.
Plug the unit into an exclusive properly installed-grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
The unit must be installed with all electrical and water connections in accordance with state and local codes.
In general, it is always a good idea to filter the water. A water filter can remove taste and odors as well as parti-
cles. Where water is very hard, softened water may result in white, mushy cubes that stick together. Deionized
water is not recommended.
IMPORTANT
: Do not install the unit near an oven, radiator, or other heat source.
SPACE REQUIREMENTS
During transportation, the incline angle of the unit should not be over 45°
Do not turn the unit upside down. Problems could occur in the compressor and sealed system.
The unit should be located on a hard and level surface that can support the unit when it is full. It is important
for the ice maker to be level in order to work properly.
Before using the unit for the first time, please wait 4 hours after positioning it.
Clean the ice shovel, water reservoir, and ice scoop frequently.
IMPORTANT: Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the ice maker and wall or cabinet.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Using this unit requires water. Adding water to this unit can be done in 2 different methods:
MANUAL FILL METHOD
1. Make sure that the unit is turned off.
2. Open the water reservoir access door.
3. Remove any dust or objects that may be in the water reservoir.
4.
Fill the water reservoir up to the line marked “MAX”. Fill with potable or drinking water only.
DIRECT WATER CONNECTION METHOD
The direct water line can be installed into the unit for a continuous flow of water, preventing you from refilling
the water reservoir every time you need more ice or water.
NOTE: When using the direct water connection method, this appliance should be installed by a licensed
plumber only.
1. Make sure that the unit is turned off.
2. Insert the inlet hose into the water inlet port. Make sure that the inlet hose if fully inserted to avoid water leak-
age.
3. Connect the other end of the hose to your water source.
4. Hand screw the hose into the water source and be sure to tighten the connection to avoid leaking.
5. The recommended water pressure is 58 PSI.
6. Turn on main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connection leaks. Tighten any connections.
WARNING:
When filling the water manually, do not fill the water reservoir past the line marked MAX, as this will cause wa-
ter to overflow the reservoir and soak electronic components inside the unit.
Never fill the dispenser with any liquid other than water. This will result to damaging the dispensing system and
void the warranty.
