OPERATION

 

A. NORMAL OPERATION: 
 

The icemaker is designed to create between 20-25lbs of ice within a 24-hour time 
frame.  It is not uncommon for the machine to make less ice if the door is open 
frequently during this time.  The core temperature needs to stay within 14-16 degrees 
Fahrenheit to create the maximum quantity of cubes.  Frequent door opening 
occurrences will inhibit this temperature from being reached.  
 
The production may also be interrupted by raising the bin arm into an upright and 
locked position (the unit will still maintain temperature for ice storage).  By raising 
the bar you are simply deactivating the ice production module.   
 
 

NOTE 

IT IS ADVISABLE WHEN ICE PRODUCTION IS NOT DESIRED TO RAISE 

THIS ARM.  WHEN THE MACHINE IS ON AND POWER IS SUPPLIED, 

THE UNIT WILL MAKE CONSTANT ICE.  DO NOT SIMPLY TURN THE 

MACHINE TO THE OFF POSITION WITH ICE IN THE TRAY.  THE UNIT 

WILL COME TO ROOM TEMPERATURE – MELTING THE ICE – AND 

MAY CAUSE SEVERE WATER DAMAGE TO YOUR BOAT.  

 
 

It is normal for certain sounds to be heard.  At times, you may hear the compressor 
turn on/off, the fan turn on/off, the water solenoid valve activating, and most 
common, the ice falling into the ice bucket. 
 
 

CAUTION 

DURING PERIODS OF LIMITED USE OR HIGH AMBIENT 

TEMPERATURES, IT IS COMMON FOR CUBES TO FUSE TOGETHER. 

NEVER USE AN ICE PICK, KNIFE, OR OTHER SHARP INSTRUMENT TO 

SEPARATE THE CUBES.  DAMAGE TO THE CORE OF THE UNIT CAN 

OCCUR.  SIMPLY SHAKE THE ICE BUCKET TO LOOSEN THE CUBES.  

 

 

If the icemaker is not used regularly, the ice bucket should be emptied periodically to 
ensure fresh cubes.
