However, to ensure unobstructed door swing (opening both doors at the same time), 1/4" (6.4 mm) of space needs to be maintained between the units.

Hinge-by-Hinge Installation (Mullion)

When installing two units hinge-by-hinge, 13/16" (22 mm) is required for integrated models. Additional space may be needed for any knobs, pulls or handles installed.

Stainless steel models which include the standard stainless handle will require 4-9/16" (116 mm) to allow both doors to open to 90° at the same time.

Water Hookup

WATER SUPPLY

CAUTION

Observe and follow all local building codes when installing this appliance.

This ice machine must be connected to a potable cold water supply line. delivering water pressure between a minimum of 20 psi and a maximum of 120 psi.

Use 1/4" copper tubing for your water supply which is available at any local hardware or plumbing supply store. Route the 1/4" copper tubing to suit your installation being sure not to kink the tubing. Purchase enough copper tubing length to allow a coil to be formed behind the unit for a "service loop" which will allow the appliance to be pulled out from the installation for servicing or cleaning. (See Figure 11). Connect the copper tubing to the "top side" of a cold water pipe to prevent the ice-maker from plugging with sediment.

A shutoff valve is recommended on the water supply line to ease servicing the appliance. NOTE: A SELF-PIERCING TYPE VALVE IS NOT RECOMMENDED as they are prone to clogging with sediment which will create pressure drop reducing the water supply to the unit.

Connect the copper tubing water supply to the water valve inlet with a 14 " compression nut fitting.

IMPORTANT: Secure the water supply line to the back of the cabinet with the screw and strain relief clamp provided in the corner of the back panel.

Make certain all connections are watertight after installation. Form the tubing so that it will not vibrate against the cabinet body or kink when your appliance is moved in and out of position.

This ice machine is designed to make clear ice from the majority of water sources on a daily basis. If your results are unsatisfactory, your water may need to be filtered or treated. A water specialist can recommend proper water treatment.

CAUTION

To prevent water leaks:

• The water line fitting is to be used with copper tubing only. Do not use with plastic tubing.
• Do not use any thread sealers on this water line fitting.

NOTE:

Reverse osmosis (RO) water, softened water, and de-ionized water are not recommended as they can adversely affect the quality and quantity of the ice.

Drain

DRAIN CONNECTION

CAUTION

The floor drain must be large enough to accommodate drainage from all attached drains. Follow these guidelines when installing drain lines to prevent water from flowing back into the ice maker storage bin and/or potentially flowing onto the floor, which may result in personal injury or property damage

NOTICE

Drain can NOT be located directly below the unit. Unit has a solid base that will not allow the unit to drain below itself.

There is a possibility that hose connections may have loosened during shipment.

Verify all connections and fittings are free from leaks.

CAUTION

This equipment is to be installed with adequate backflow protection to comply with applicable federal, state and local codes

CAUTION

Failure to connect water supply or drain line connections properly can result in personal injury and property damage. Gravity drain connections must be routed downward from the rest of the unit at the rate of 1/4" per foot (1 cm per 50 cm).

Drain line coiled and secured to the back of the cabinet. Uncoil, route to an appropriate drain, and and cut to length.

NOTICE

The maximum lift for the drain pump is 10 feet. This must be done as close to the rear of the unit as possible.

ICE

Your ice machine is unique in how it forms ice with fractional freezing to form a slab of ice that is clear and has less dissolved solids than the water from which it is produced. This is accomplished by running water over the cold evaporator plate which gradually freezes the water to produce the ice slab. Pure water freezes first, leaving the dissolved solids in the residual reservoir water.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with spring-like grooves and internal channels (no text or symbols)

When the ice slab reaches the correct thickness, the ice sheet is released and slides onto the grid cutter. There, the ice slab is cut into cubes by the grid cutter's heated wires. The water containing the dissolved minerals is drained after each freezing cycle. Fresh water enters the machine for the next ice making cycle.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical device with internal components and no visible text or symbols

The ice machine will keep producing ice until the ice machine's bin is full, resuming automatically as needed. The ice bin is not refrigerated, and some melting will occur by design to preserve the ice quality and clarity. Allow your ice machine to run for 24-48 hours to accumulate ice.

The bin level sensor is located in the ice bin, it senses when the ice supply is low or full and starts or stops the ice-making process accordingly.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with scattered 3D cubes (no text or symbols)

ICE PRODUCTION

In normal mode, the ice machine will produce up to 39 pounds (17.7 kg) of clear ice in a 24-hour period when installed in a 72°F ambient with a 55°F water supply.

Note:

"Initial" ice production and ice accumulated in the storage bin will vary significantly. This is normal. During the first 24-hours of operation the unit will produce up to 39 lbs of ice at the above ambient and water temperatures, but when starting with an empty ice storage bin, ice accumulation may only be 18 lbs. By design, the ice storage bin is maintained at a temperature slightly above freezing to allow the stored ice to slowly melt, to preserve the ice quality and clarity and assure a constant supply of fresh ice. As ice is accumulated in the bin, the ice production rate will over come the ice melt and the storage bin will fill to capacity.

NEW SOUNDS

The ice machine will make sounds that are different than your household refrigerator. The ice production process creates noises such as ice falling onto hard surfaces, water cascading across the evaporator, and valves opening and closing. Below are some of the sounds you may hear:

Buzzing - water valve opens to fill water reservoir.

Rattling - water flowing through water line.

Splashing - water flowing over evaporator plate and into reservoir.

A "Thud" - ice slab sliding down onto the grid cutter.

Clicks - ice cubes falling into the ice storage bin.

Gurgling - refrigerant flowing in the ice machine.

Air - the condenser fan.

Cleaning

Homes with poor water quality or high clear ice usage might require more frequent cleaning.

To clean your ice machine you will need to purchase a "nickel safe" ice maker cleaner.

CAUTION

Use only manufacturer-approved ice machine cleaner and follow all label warnings and directions. Incorrect chemical usage, and any damage that may result, is not covered by warranty.

• Is a fuse blown or a circuit breaker been tripped?

Replace a blown fuse or reset a tripped circuit breaker.

- Is the temperature of the room cooler than it normally is?

The minimum room temperature is 55^ F ( 13^ C). The bin thermistor may be sensing the room temperature and shut off before the bin is full of ice. If the room temperature remains low the ice machine may not restart.

• Is there a drain pump in the ice machine?

The drain pump is designed to temporarily shut the unit off when large quantities of water create a high-limit condition. Wait a few minutes as the drain pump will continue to operate to dispose of the excess water. If there is still water in the ice bin check the drain pump vent line and drain line for obstructions or kinking.

The ice machine is noisy:

Many sounds of an ice machine are different than your household refrigerator. This subject is discussed on page 11, but check the following:

- Do you hear water being circulated in the ice machine?

This is a normal sound as water is added once every ice making cycle.

• Is there a "whooshing" sound?

Make sure water is getting to the ice machine. Also check to make sure the drain plug is fully seated in the water reservoir.

- Is there an ice slab caught between the evaporator plate and the grid cutter?

First check to see if the ice machine is level. If the ice machine is level run a cleaning cycle.

ICE PRODUCTION

Little or no ice production from the ice machine:

• Is the electronic control set to the "ICE" position?
Check the control to be sure it is in the "ICE" position
• Is water getting to the ice machine?

Make sure nothing is restricting the water supply such as a closed water valve or a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker, or a kinked supply line, or low water pressure.

• Has the ice machine just been started?

A typical ice production cycle can take up to 112 hours. Initial start up cycles can take longer. Check the ice machine after 24 hours for ice accumulation in the bin.

• Is the reservoir drain plug in place?

Check that the reservoir drain plug is properly seated.

• Is the water distributor tube restricted?

Run a cleaning cycle to clean the ice machine. Also check any filters to make sure they are not restricted.

• Is the condenser fan air flow restricted?

Make sure the grille in the front of the ice machine is open for proper air circulation.

• Is the room and/or water temperature to warm?

Move the ice machine to an area where the ambient temperature is below 90^ F ( 32^ C) for built-in ice machines or below 100^ F ( 38^ C) for freestanding ice machines. The ice machine should not be placed next to a heat source such as an oven. Check the cold water connection.

• Is there scale build up in the ice machine?

If there is scale build up on the evaporator, the ice machine needs to be cleaned. See "Cleaning the Ice machine".

ICE QUALITY

Odor, grey color, or off taste in the ice:

- Is there mineral scale build up on the evaporator plate?

The ice machine needs cleaning. See "Cleaning the Ice Machine".

• Is there a high mineral content in the water?

The water may need to be filtered.

• Are food items being stored in the ice bin?

Remove food from the ice bin.

- Unpleasant Odors may require the use of a charcoal filter on the water supply line.

Clumps of ice:

• Are there clumps of ice in the bin?

If the ice isn't used on a regular basis it will melt and form into clumps. Break up the ice clumps with the ice scoop.

Ice cubes are too big or too small:

• Is there low ice consumption?

Ice is slowly melting in the ice bin which will affect the size of the cubes. This is normal. When the ice bin needs to be replenished, cubes will return to the regular size.

• Is the ice slab releasing?

Clean the evaporator. See "Cleaning the Ice Machine"

• Is the distributor tube restricted?

Check the water line to the ice machine to make sure there are no restrictions or kinks in the line. Check all filters to make sure they are not restricted. Check that the water flows evenly out of the distributor tube, if not, clean the ice machine. See "Cleaning the Ice Machine".

PLUMBING PROBLEMS

• Is the drain hose aligned over the drain?

Move the ice machine to align the drain.

• Is the ice machine draining properly?

Check that there are no kinks or restrictions in the drain lines; this can cause water to back up in the ice bin.

Check that foreign material is not blocking the ice bin drain located at the right rear corner of the ice bin. Check the drain pump discharge and vent line or any restrictions or kinks. Check that the drain pump is level.

NOTE:

If there are plumbing issues outside of the ice machine, they cannot be repaired by the service technician. A qualified plumber will have to be called.

If the drain pump reservoir (not the ice machine bin) reaches overfill condition, the power to the ice machine will be shut off.

If the ice machine is not working, check the following:

• Make sure there is power at the receptacle.

• Make sure the ice machine is turned on.

• Make sure the ice bin is not full.

Then check the drain pump:

The pump does not run:

• Make sure the pump is plugged in and there is power to the receptacle.

- Check the inlet to the drain pump for debris and clean as needed. Remove clamps and inlet tube from drain pump to check for and remove debris.

• Make certain the vent line is free of kinks/sharp bends or restrictions.

- Make certain there is enough water to activate the drain pump. It will take at least one (1) quart (.95 liters) of water to activate the drain pump.

The pump runs, but no water is pumped out:

- Check that the vent is clear and free of restrictions.

- Check the discharge line to make certain there are no restrictions.

- Make sure that the discharge tubing has not exceeded the maximum lift of eight (8) feet (2.44 meters) and the horizontal run is not greater than twenty (20) feet (6.1 meters).

The pump runs and then quickly turns off repeatedly:

- Check to make certain the drain pump is level.

- Check that the vent is clear and free of restrictions.

The ice machine is running but not producing ice:

- Check to make sure water is not backing up in the ice bin.

Thermistor

Thermistors are used for various temperature readings. Thermistors provide reliable temperature readings using a resistance which varies based on surrounding temperatures. If a faulty thermistor is suspected, it may be tested using an accurate ohmmeter.

Thermistor connections must be kept clean. A thermistor connection that has become corroded can cause resistance values from the thermistor to change as they pass through a dirty connection to the board.

It is for that reason that we apply dielectric grease to all of our thermistor connections. Dielectric grease will help to keep thermistor connections clean and dry.

If you change a thermistor in the unit, please re-apply dielectric grease to the connection. If you encounter a dirty thermistor connection, you should replace the thermistor and the thermistor harness.

This unit has one thermistor located along the right hand sidewall of the ice bin. It is used to maintain the ice level in the bin.
