INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Connecting the water line:
1. Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.
2. Find a ½” to ¾” vertical cold water pipe near the installation location. The distance should be less than 9
feet. The water supply hose provided with the ice maker is about 9 feet long.
3. A shut-off valve must be installed to the main water supply. If the water pipe has a plain piece of copper tub-
ing, attach a ¼” O.D. compression union to the tubing and remove the nut.
4. Connect nuts of the supplied water supply hose to tap and water inlet valve. Tighten firmly by hand, then
one-half turn with wrench.
5. Turn on main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connection leaks. Tighten every connection
(including connections at the water inlet).
ICE MAKING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn the unit on by pressing the Power button.
2. Water will be pumped from the water valve to the ice maker tray for freezing. The first cubes may be
small because of air in the water line. Later cubes will be of standard crescent type size.
3. Once the freezing process is complete, the ice shovel will turn and push the ice cubes down to the ice bas-
ket.
NOTE: Although the unit has been tested and cleaned at the factory, due to
long-term transit and storage, discard all ice cubes made during the first 3
hours of operation.
When the ice bucket is full, the ice maker tray will automatically shut off. When
ice cubes are melted or removed, the ice maker will resume its operation.
Ice delivery may be interrupted by raising the metal arm into an upright position.
If the ice maker is not used regularly, it is recommended that the ice bucket be
emptied periodically to ensure ice freshness.
Sometimes the ice cubes may appear cloudy. This is due to the rapid freezing of the ice cube. This is
trapped air in the water and does not affect the taste and quality of the ice.
The air intake and exhaust should be kept free of dust and lint to allow free airflow.
This unit should be defrosted approximately every 4-6 weeks or when frost on the ice maker wall is exces-
sive or 1/4” thick. To defrost, turn the unit off, remove the ice cubes and keep the ice maker door open at
least two inches.
Do not place cans or bottles in the ice compartment because they will freeze.
Never turn the water supply tap off when the ice maker is working.
Never touch evaporator when unit is running
Keep the ice maker door closed to reduce melting and to ensure proper ice formation.
NORMAL SOUNDS
Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Hard surfaces like the floor and walls can
make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be
new to you and what may be making them.
Ratting noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line, items stored on top of the ice
maker can also make noises.
The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
Water running from the evaporator to the water reservoir may make a splashing sound.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your ice maker.
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
During the harvest cycle, you may hear the sound of ice cubes falling into the ice basket
POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your ice maker
if you minimize the number of times the ice maker cover is opened. If the power is going to be OFF for a long-
er period of time, you need to take the proper steps to disconnect your appliance. Failure to unplug the ice
maker could result in electrical shock or personal injury.
