IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, or injury when using your ice machine follow these basic safety precautions:

This ice machine must be properly installed and located in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.
■ Unplug the appliance before making repairs, replacing a light bulb, or cleaning.
Note: Power to the appliance cannot be disconnected by any setting on the control panel.
Note: Repairs must be performed by a qualified service professional.
- Replace all parts and panels before operating.
- Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in

the United States) or a CSA certified (in Canada), 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

To prevent suffocation and entrapment hazards to children, remove the door from any appliance before disposing of it or discontinuing its use.
- Do not allow children to climb, stand or hang on the door handle of the appliance. They could seriously injure themselves.
Ice machine scale remover contains acids. Acids can cause burns. If concentrated cleaner comes in contact with skin, flush with water. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give large amounts of water or milk. Call Physician immediately. Keep out of the reach of children.

CAUTION

To reduce the risk of injury when using your appliance, follow these basic safety precautions.

- Keep fingers out of the “pinch point” areas; clearances between the doors and between the doors and cabinet are necessarily small. Be careful closing doors when children are in the area.

Avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, or with the heating element that releases the cubes. Do not place fingers or hands on the automatic ice making mechanism while the ice machine is plugged in.

INSTALLATION

WARNING

Explosion Hazard.

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from appliance. Failure to do so can result in fire, explosion, or death.

SAFETY (CONT.)

OUTDOOR USE NOTICE:

KEEP FROM FREEZING: Severe damage will occur to the unit if left in or operated in temperatures beyond the limits listed in this manual. That damage is NOT covered by warranty.

KEEP DRY: Do not locate in low lying areas where puddles will accumulate

PROVIDE SHADE: Heat gain from the sun will reduce the unit's ability to make and store ice, and ultraviolet radiation from the sun can potentially damage the unit's plastic components.

WATER SUPPLY: Avoid a long run of hose or tubing exposed to the sun. Plastic water supply tubing should be rated for

potable water and include UV protection. Copper tubing is recommended.

BACK FLOW PREVENTION: The unit includes back flow prevention, no additional check valve is required.

DRAINAGE: DO NOT drain into swimming pool or onto grounds.

OPERATION: It is normal for the ice level in the storage bin to be low when unit is used in temperatures below 65^ F.

CONNECTING ELECTRICITY

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard.

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet

Do not remove the ground prong

Do not use an adapter

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The ice maker should always be plugged into its own 115 volt, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit. This provides the best

performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

Never unplug your ice maker by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end.

When moving the ice maker, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF YOUR OLD APPLIANCE

WARNING

Suffocation and child entrapment hazard.

Remove the door from the appliance prior to disposal. Failure to do so can result in child entrapment which can lead to death or brain damage.

IMPORTANT:

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned appliances are still dangerous even if they will sit for "just a few days." If you are getting rid of your old appliance, please follow the instructions below to help prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Appliance:

Take off the doors.
Leave the internal components in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Refrigerants

All refrigeration products contain refrigerants, which under federal law must be removed prior to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old refrigeration product, check with the company handling the disposal about what to do.

Starting the ice machine.

This machine takes in room temperature air at the lower right front and forces warm air out the lower left front. Restricting the airflow or operating the machine in a hot or cold environment will adversely affect the ability of the ice machine to make ice.

When the door is opened, the control panel, ice making area and ice storage bin are visible. The scoop is located in a holder along the right side wall.

This is a gravity drain model that must have a building drain connection below the level of the drain tube at the back of the cabinet. A pump can be installed, which can force drain water up a maximum of 10 feet, allowing it to be located where a gravity drain isn't available. See Accessories on page 10 for more information on the drain pump.

Initial Start Up

1. Turn on the water supply.
2. Switch on the electrical power.
3. Push and release the ON/OFF switch to start the machine. The ICE MAKING light next to the ON/OFF switch will glow white.
4. Water will begin to flow into the unit. When the reservoir is full, water will start to drain from the machine. After a few minutes the compressor, water pump and fan motor will begin to operate as the first ice making cycle begins.

Warm Air Out Air Intake

No adjustments are needed.

In approximately 30 minutes, ice will fall into the ice storage bin. The machine makes 24 gourmet cubes at a time. It is normal for the first batches of ice to melt as the bin cools. It will take 8-10 hours of continuous run time to fill the ice bin. When the ice bin is full, the ice machine will shut off. It will automatically restart when the ice level falls, either from use or normal meltage.

Discard the first bin full of ice.

Care and cleaning.

Cleaning the Outside

The stainless steel door and door handle can be cleaned with a commercially available stainless steel cleaner. Cleaners with oxalic acid such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™ will remove surface rust, tarnish and small blemishes.

Use only a liquid cleanser free of grit and rub in the direction of the brush lines with a damp soft sponge. Do not use appliance wax or polish on the stainless steel.

Cleaning the Ice Storage Bin

The ice storage bin should be sanitized occasionally. It is usually convenient to sanitize the bin after the ice making system has been cleaned and the bin is empty.

A sanitizing solution can be made of 1 oz of household bleach and 2 gallons of hot (95°F - 115°F) water. Use a clean cloth and wipe the interior of the ice storage bin with the sanitizing solution. Pour some of the solution down the drain.

Allow to air dry.

Cleaning the Condenser

The condenser has fins and tubes that can become clogged with dirt and lint.

NOTE: Outdoor operation can lead to rapid buildup of debris, such as leaves and other vegetation. The condenser will need to be frequently checked for debris. Clean it whenever the fins are obstructed.

ICE MACHINE LOCATION AND PREPARATION

This ice machine is designed to be used indoors, in a controlled environment or outdoors within certain limits. It is made up of two major systems: the ice making system and the ice storage system. The ice making system is a continuous flow that makes ice when the ice level becomes low and stops when it is full.

IMPORTANT: Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is not ice. Objects like wine or beer bottles are not only unsanitary, but the labels can slip off and plug up the drain.

IMPORTANT: Never allow the machine to operate without regular cleaning. The machine will last longer if it is kept clean. Regular cleaning should happen at least once per year, and preferably twice. Some water conditions will dictate even more frequent cleaning of the ice making section, and some carpets or pets will dictate more frequent cleaning of the condenser

ICE MACHINE LOCATION AND PREPARATION (Cont)

Water Quality

All water, including potable water supplied by municipalities, contains some impurities or minerals. Water absorbs impurities from the air as rain and/or as it flows through the ground. Some of the impurities are solid particles. These are known as suspended solids, and a fine particle filter will remove them. Other impurities are chemically bonded to the water molecules and cannot be filtered out. These are called dissolved solids.

Ice made by this machine will have a lower mineral content than the water it was made from. This is due to the method of making ice. Purer water will freeze first in the ice making molds. The reason for this is that anything dissolved in water lowers the water's freezing temperature. This concentrates most of the impurities of the ice machine water reservoir where they may form hard deposits known as scale. The machine dilutes the concentration of minerals by over-filling the reservoir during the harvest cycle (with the excess water flowing down the drain). Water use varies with air and water temperatures. Between 2 and 4 pints of water flow into the unit each cycle. Between 1 and 3.5 pints of that rinses the reservoir and goes down the drain.

Some impurities will inevitably remain, and will stick to the parts in the machine. This will cause malformed ice cubes. Eventually, built up mineral scale can shorten machine life.

To keep the machine operating properly, these impurities or minerals will have to be regularly dissolved by an acid cleaner. Directions for this may be found in the Care and Cleaning section.

Filters and Treatment

In general, it is always a good idea to filter the water. A proper water filter can remove taste and odors as well as particles. We recommend using a GE Water Filter on your water inlet line such as GE Model Number GXRLQ. Please go to www.geappliances.com to review the installation instructions and determine which filter will suit your application. In Canada visit www.GEAppliances.ca. Some other methods of water treatment for dissolved solids include reverse osmosis, and polyphosphate feeders.

RO Water

This machine can be supplied with Reverse Osmosis water, but the water conductivity must be no less than 10 microSiemens/cm. A reverse osmosis system should include post treatment to satisfy the R.O. water's potential aggressiveness. Deionized water is not recommended.

Because water softeners exchange one mineral for another, softened water may not improve water conditions when used with ice machines. Where water is very hard, softened water could result in white, mushy cubes that stick together.

If in doubt about the water, contact a local point of use water specialist for recommendations on water treatment.

Installation Overview

The ice machine must:

• be connected to cold, potable water
• be connected to a drain
• be connected to the proper power supply
• be able to circulate air through the vents at the front.

NOTE: Do not build in so that the door is recessed.

INSTALLING THE ICE MACHINE (Cont.)

ADVANCE PLANNING

CAUTION

Due to excessive weight, TWO

PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED TO MOVE AND INSTALL THIS Ice maker. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

CUTOUT & PRODUCT DIMENSIONS

Installation Notes

Built-In Installation: If a finished floor is to be installed in the area after the ice machine has been built in, shims the expected thickness of the floor should be installed under the unit to keep the machine level with the planned floor level.

NOTE: The water connection is at the back and adds a few inches to the cabinet depth.

Installation on a slab: You will need to install a drain pump to the appliance and pump the water to the point of drainage. See Accessories. Pump models will pump 1 story (10 feet) hight.

Installation over a crawl space or basement: Either a gravity drain or a pump may be used. For pump, see Accessories. If there is not enough room behind the machine for a drain/waste receptacle, the drain will have to be below the floor.

NOTE: When installed in a corner, the door swing may be limited due to handle contact with the wall or cabinet face.

A water supply is required. Water supplies vary in the degree of mineral content. High mineral content water will require more frequent maintenance. Water filtration may improve the taste of the ice as well as cut down on some of the mineral build up.

Troubleshooting Tips

Save time and money! Review the charts on the following

pages first and you may not need to call for service.

Problem Possible Causes What to Do
Ice cubes are incompletely formed	Scale on the ice making system	Clean the ice making system
Low capacity Restricted drain or standing	ng water in the bin	Clean the air cooled condenser fins.
		Clean the ice making system.
		Check the drain line for kinks
No ice	Switch is OFF	Press the ON/OFF button to turn the power on.
	Electric breaker has been tripped Flip the electric breaker back on.
	Water supply is low If the Check Water light is flashing Red, the water supply is low. The control system checks for water every 20 minutes. When the water supply is restored, the machine will automatically reset.
Time to Clean light is on		Clean the ice making system following directions in the Care and Cleaning section.

Noise

The ice machine is designed for quiet operation but will make some noise during the ice making cycle. During a freezing cycle, it is normal to hear the fan moving air and the water pump circulating water. Ice hitting the bin or ice in the bin can be heard during harvest.

If ice making noise is objectionable, an appliance grade timer can be added to the power supply. Set the timer to turn the machine off at the time(s) of day when the noise is the most objectionable.

Installation instructions

Condenser surface

Note: The bin is insulated and not refrigerated so the ice form will change in the storage bin as it is normal for the ice to melt.

IMPORTANT: Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is not ice. Objects like wine or beer bottles are not only unsanitary, but the labels can slip off and plug up the drain.

IMPORTANT: Never allow the machine to operate without regular cleaning. The machine will last longer if it is kept clean. Regular cleaning should happen at least once per year, and preferably twice. Some water conditions will dictate even more frequent cleaning of the ice making section, and some carpets or pets will dictate more frequent cleaning of the condenser
