To ensure proper ventilation for your icemaker, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed.
When installing the icemaker under a counter, follow the recommended spacing dimensions shown. Allow at least 64 mm (2.5") clearance at the rear, 5 mm (.2") at the top, and 4.8 mm (.2") at the sides for proper air circulation. The installation should allow the icemaker to be pulled forward for servicing if necessary.
Choose a well-ventilated area with room temperatures within the normal range. This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.
The unit should not be located next to ovens, grills, or other high heat sources.
Installation of the icemaker requires a cold water supply inlet of 6.35mm soft copper tubing with a shut-off valve.
The icemaker requires a continuous water supply with a minimum pressure of 15 PSIG and a static pressure not to exceed 80 PSIG. The temperature of the water feeding into the icemaker should be between 41^ (5°C) and 90^ (32°C) for proper operation.
WARNING
Operating temperature should be within the range of normal room temperatures. Normal operating water temperature should be between 41^ F ( 5^ C) and 90^ F ( 32^ C). Operation of the icemaker for extended periods outside of these normal temperature ranges may affect production capacity.
We strongly recommend that a water filter be used. A filter, if it is of the proper type, can remove taste and odors as well as particles. Some water can be very hard, and softened water may result in white, mushy cubes that stick together. Deionized water is not recommended.
The icemaker must be installed with electrical and water connections in accordance with all state and local codes.
The unit should be located on a firm and level surface. The icemaker needs to be leveled to work properly. If needed, you can adjust the height of the icemaker by adjusting the caster. See the Leveling the Icemaker section.
A standard electrical supply (110V AC only, 60Hz, 15A), properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
IMPORTANT: Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the icemaker and the wall or cabinet.

Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet.
Never remove the ground prong from the plug.
Never use an adapter.
Never use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, electrical shock, or death.
Before you move your icemaker into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
A standard electrical supply (110V AC only, 60Hz, 15A), properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required. The icemaker should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet.
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your icemaker, be provided. Use a receptacle that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes.
Recommended grounding method
For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-pronged and grounding-type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
Leveling the Icemaker
It is important for the icemaker to be leveled in order to work properly. Otherwise, water will not flow properly through the evaporator (ice mold). The ice production will be less than normal, and may be noisy. The unit can be raised or lowered by rotating the four adjustable feet on the bottom of the machine. If you find that the surface is not level, rotate the feet until the icemaker becomes level. You may need to make several adjustments to level it. We recommend using a carpenter's level to check the machine
natural_image
Line drawing of a refrigerator with labeled 'Up' and 'Down' arrows indicating front and back sides (no text or symbols on the device itself)-
Place a carpenter's level on top of the unit to see if the icemaker is level from front to back and side to side.
-
Adjust the height of the adjustable feet as follows:
Turn the leveling feet to the right to lower that side of the icemaker.
Turn the leveling feet to the left to raise that side of the icemaker.
You will find that the feet make it easy for one person to move the machine. This is useful for cleaning and sanitizing the surface on which the icemaker is installed because it allows you to move the unit and have easy access to the surface to be cleaned.
IMPORTANT: When the icemaker is ready to be installed in a cabinet or directly on the floor, you must adjust the feet to level the icemaker and lock the rollers. If the floor is level, just adjust the two front feet until they touch the floor.
Water Supply
The water supply should be ready at the point of installation. The water supply pressure should be a minimum of 15 PSIG with a static pressure no greater than 80 PSIG. (A wall outlet directly behind the ice machine will make installation easier.)
IMPORTANT:
- All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements. Professional installation is recommended.
- Make certain the hoses are not pinched kinked or damaged during installation.
- Check for leaks after connection.
Tools required:
12mm open-end wrench, Phillips screwdriver
Connecting the water line:
- Turn off the main water supply. Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.
- Find a 12mm to 19mm vertical cold water pipe near the installation location. The distance should be less than 3m. The water supply hose provided with the icemaker is about 3m long.
- A shut-off valve must be installed to the main water supply. If the water pipe has a plain piece of copper tubing, attach a 19mm O.D. compression union to the tubing and remove the nut.
- Connect the nut of the water supply hose to the tap and connect the other end with the water inlet. Tighten firmly by hand, then one-half turn with wrench.
- Turn on main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connection leaks. Tighten every connection (including connection at the water inlet).
IMPORTANT: When you connect the water supply hose and the drain hose, pay attention to the indications of “Water inlet” and “Drain outlet” on the machine.
Drain
You must connect the drain line before using the icemaker. Follow the steps below.
There are two types of ice machine modes, one that drains by gravity and one that has an internal drain pump.
This unit can pump out water up to a rise of 1.5m (5ft)

text_image
POWER WATER INLET WATER DRAIN WATER FILTER WATERVALVEConnecting the drain line:
NOTE: If there is a drain line near the icemaker, the best choice is to drain water to the drain line through the drain water hose provided with icemaker.
- Locate the floor drain near the icemaker. The distance should be less than 2m since the length of the long drain water hose provided with the ice is about 2m.
- Find the drain outlet on the back of icemaker. Connect the water draining hose to the drain outlet and insert the other end of the hose into the drain line.
NOTE: Never allow the drain hose to hang or loop higher than the floor of the ice storage bin.
-
All horizontal runs of drain lines must have a fall of 6.35mm per foot. An air gap will likely be required between the icemaker drain tube and the drain/waste receptacle. A standpipe with a trap below it would be acceptable for the drain/waste receptacle. A floor drain is also acceptable. If this is not possible, the use of the condensate pump is recommended.
-
Pour 3.7L (1 gallon) of water into the ice storage bin to check for leaks in the drainage system. Tighten any connections that leak.
IMPORTANT: This icemaker is not a freezer. Infrequent drainage will cause a high rate of melting in the ice storage bin.
Installation Types
This icemaker has been designed for free-standing installations. However, it can also be installed under a cabinet or built in.
Free-standing installation:
A free-standing installation will allow you to install the icemaker in any place you desire provided you have access to a water supply. You must follow the stated instructions for
a. Electrical requirements
b. Water supply
c. Leveling the icemaker.
Enclosed Installation:
An enclosed installation will allow you to install the icemaker under a cabinet or in a kitchen cabinet provided the required clearance space around the icemaker is followed. This installation has the same requirements as a free-standing installation.
Built-in installation:
If this method of installation is chosen, it will still be necessary to allow adequate ventilation space around the unit. The following additional items must be observed.
- Place icemaker in front of the installation location. Remove the feet and place the unit flat on the floor or a platform depending on your installation requirements.
- The water supply line must be plumbed before connecting to the icemaker.
- Turn on the main water supply and the tap. Check for water supply connection leaks. Tighten every connection (including connection at the water inlet).
- If the electrical outlet for the icemaker is behind the cabinet, plug in the icemaker.
- Push the icemaker into position.
- Using an approved caulking compound, seal all around the edges of the cabinet floor.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the drain hose is connected and fed into the drain line before the icemaker is moved into its final position.
OPERATION
Final Check List Before Initial Use

-
After the flushing is complete, the machine will automatically enter the ice-making stage, and the sound of water flowing will be heard.
-
When a batch of ice has been fully formed, ice will automatically be harvested to the ice storage bin.
-
When the ice storage bin is full, the sheet of cubes will not fall completely and will hold the bin-full probe open. The machine will stop making ice automatically.
-
Once the ice cubes are removed, the full bin probe will swing back to its operational position Then, the unit will start making ice again after 3 minutes.
-
Top light: The top light is controlled by a magnetic reed switch that has been installed on the inner surface of the door. It is turned on or off automatically with the opening or closing of the door.
-
Pump Water Drain System (if used): When the water in the wastewater tank or other remaining overflow water reaches the maximum water level, the drainage pump starts to discharge the wastewater into the wastewater tank.
IMPORTANT:
Although the unit has been evaluated and cleaned at the factory, due to long-term transit and storage, the first batch of cubes must be discarded.
Never turn the water supply tap off when the icemaker is working.
Never touch the evaporator when the unit is running!
Unless you are taking ice from the unit, keep the door closed to reduce melting and ensure proper ice formation.
How The Machine Makes Ice
Set the ON/OFF button to the ON position. The machine will automatically go to the ice-making stage.
There are two distinct cycles: ice freeze and harvest.
The freeze cycle happens when water flows to the evaporator surface. The harvest cycle is when the ice is released, and water enters the machine. A complete cycle takes about 20 minutes, but it depends on temperature and operating conditions.
Freeze: During the freeze cycle the compressor is pumping refrigerant, the fan motor is blowing air, and the water pump is circulating water. When the batch of ice has been fully formed, the icemaker stops the freeze cycle, and the harvest cycle begins.
Harvest: During the harvest cycle the compressor is still operating, but the water pump has stopped. The hot gas valve opens, diverting hot refrigerant gas into the evaporator. The hot refrigerant gas warms the evaporator, causing the cubes to slide as a unit off the evaporator and into the storage bin. The freeze cycle will restart when all the cubes have been harvested.
How The Machine Uses the Water
The icemaker begins with a fixed charge of water that is contained in the water trough. As the water flows to the freezing evaporator surface, the portion of water that does not contain mineral impurities freezes and sticks to the ice cube molds. The water containing impurities falls back into the water trough. During the ice making process, fresh water enters into the water trough continuously as the water in the trough freezes continuously in the evaporator.

Sounds Your Icemaker Makes
Your new icemaker may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor and walls can make the sounds seem louder than they are. The following list describes the sounds that might be new to you and what may be causing them.
Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on top of the icemaker can also make noises.
The high-efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
Running water may make a splashing sound.
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 storage bin.
You will occasionally hear the sound of the drain pump operating.
Preparing the Icemaker for Vacation
If the icemaker will not be used for a long time or is to be moved to another place, it will be necessary to drain the system of water.
- Shut off the water supply at the main water source.
- Disconnect the water supply line from the water inlet.
- Shut off the electric supply at the main electrical power source.
- Take out the ice storage bin to remove any remaining ice and water. Dry the bin.
- Pull the drainage tube from the water trough to drain all the water.
- Leave the door open to allow for circulation and to prevent mold and mildew.
- Leave the water supply line and power cord disconnected until ready to reuse.
IMPORTANT:
Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet.
Never unplug the unit by pulling on the cord. Grasp the plug and pull out firmly.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
If the icemaker is left unused for a long time, it must be thoroughly cleaned before the next use. Carefully follow any instructions provided for cleaning or the use of sanitizing solutions. Do not leave any solution inside the icemaker after cleaning.
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and a long life for your life. The maintenance intervals listed are based on normal conditions.
You may want to shorten the intervals if you have pets, or if there are other special considerations.
NOTE:
Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is not ice: objects like wine and beer bottles are not only unsanitary, but the labels may slip off and plug up the drain.
Parts to Keep Clean
There are 5 things to keep clean:
- The exterior
- The interior
- The condenser
- Water distribution tube
- The ice-making system
Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit is disconnected and the water line is shut off.
Cleaning the exterior
The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water solution such as 30ml (1 oz.) of dishwashing liquid mixed with 7.5L (2 gallons) of warm water. Do not use solvent-based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft, clean towel to prevent water spotting.
If the door panel is stainless steel, stainless steel can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas and moisture. Clean stainless steel with a mild detergent and warm water solution and a damp cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaning agent.
Cleaning the Interior
The ice storage bin should be sanitized occasionally. Clean the water trough before the icemaker is used for the first time and reused after stopping for an extended period of time. It is usually convenient to sanitize the trough after the ice making system has been cleaned and the ice storage bin is empty.
- Disconnect the power to the unit.
- Open the door and take out the removable ice storage bin. With a clean cloth, wipe down the interior of unit and ice bin with a sanitizing solution made of 30ml (1 ounce) of household bleach or chlorine and 7.5L (2 gallons) of hot (95°F – 115°F) water.
- Pull off the soft plug of drain hose of the water trough to drain off all water.
- Rinse thoroughly with clear water.
- After draining off all water, put back the soft plug of drain hose of the water
trough into the original location.
-
Put the ice storage bin inside the unit.
-
Reconnect power to the unit.
Correct location of the drain hose

Close-up of a white mechanical component with a red arrow pointing to a small rectangular area (no visible text or symbols)The ice scoop should be washed regularly. Wash it just like any other food container.
WARNING
DO NOT use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may transmit taste to the ice cubes and damage or discolor the interior.
Cleaning the Condenser
A dirty or clogged condenser prevents proper airflow, reduces ice-making capacity, and causes higher than recommended operating temperatures that may lead to component failure. Have the condenser cleaned at least once every six months.
- Unplug the icemaker or disconnect the power.
- Gently pull off the lower front grille.
- Remove dirt and lint from the condenser and the unit compartment with the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner.
- Reassemble the lower front grille.
- Plug in the icemaker or reconnect power.

Condenser Surface
WARNING
DO NOT touch the condenser. Edges are sharp and can be easily damaged.
Cleaning the Water Distribution Tube
If you find the ice cubes are incompletely formed or the output is low, the water distribution tube may be blocked. Turn off the unit, gently take out the water distribution tube, locate the holes in the distribution tube, and use a pointed object such as a toothpick to dredge the holes. Then put the water distribution tube back in its original position. If the tube is heavily blocked, clean it as follows:
- Shut off the water supply
- Disconnect the water hose from the distribution tube.
- Gently take out the distribution tube.
- With a brush, clean the tube with a diluted solution of warm water and a mild detergent such as dishwashing liquid. After removing the dirt and lint from the surface, rinse the tube with clean water.
- Reinstall the distribution tube.
- Reconnect the water supply.
Cleaning the Ice-making System
Minerals that are removed from the water during the freezing cycle will eventually form a hard, scaly deposit in the water system. Cleaning the system regularly helps remove the mineral scale buildup. How often to clean the system depends upon how hard your water is or how effective your filtration may be. If the hard water is of 15 to 20 grains/gal. (4 to 5 grains/ liter), you may need to clean the system as often as once every 6 months.

This shall be reported to the owner of the equipment, so all parties are advised.
Initial safety checks shall include:
a) That capacitors are discharged: this shall be done in a safe manner to avoid possibility of sparking
b) That no live electrical components and wiring are exposed while charging, recovering or purging the system
c) That there is continuity of earth bonding
101.DVS.5 Repairs to sealed components
101.DVS.5.1 During repairs to sealed components, all electrical supplies shall be disconnected from the equipment being worked upon prior to any removal of sealed covers, etc. If it is absolutely necessary to have an electrical supply to equipment during servicing, then a permanently operating form of leak detection shall be located at the most critical point to warn of a potentially hazardous situation.
101.DVS.5.2 Particular attention shall be paid to the following to ensure that by working on electrical components, the casing is not altered in such a way that the level of protection is affected. This shall include damage to cables, excessive number of connections, terminals not made to original specification, damage to seals, incorrect fitting of glands, etc.
Ensure that the apparatus is mounted securely.
Ensure that seals or sealing materials have not degraded to the point that they no longer serve the purpose of preventing the ingress of flammable atmospheres. Replacement parts shall be in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
101.DVS.6 Repair to intrinsically safe components
Do not apply any permanent inductive or capacitance loads to the circuit without ensuring that this will not exceed the permissible voltage and current permitted for the equipment in use.
Intrinsically safe components are the only types that can be worked on while live in the presence of a flammable atmosphere. The test apparatus shall be at the correct rating.
Replace components only with parts specified by the manufacturer. Other parts can result in the ignition of refrigerant in the atmosphere from a leak.
NOTE: The use of silicon sealant can inhibit the effectiveness of some types of leak detection equipment.
Intrinsically safe components do not have to be isolated prior to working on them.
101.DVS.7 Cabling
Check that cabling will not be subject to wear, corrosion, excessive pressure, vibration, sharp edges, or any other adverse environmental effects. The check shall also take into account the effects of aging or continual vibration from sources such as compressors or fans.
101.DVS.8 Detection of flammable refrigerants
Under no circumstances shall potentially sources of ignition be used in the searching for or detection of refrigerant leaks. A halide torch (or any other detector using a naked flame) shall not be used.
The following leak detection methods are deemed acceptable for all refrigerant systems.
Electronic leak detectors may be used to detect refrigerant leaks but, in the case of FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS, the sensitivity might not be adequate, or might need recalibration. (Detection equipment shall be calibrated in a refrigerant-free area.) Ensure that the detector is not a potential source of ignition and is suitable for the refrigerant used.
Leak detection equipment shall be set at a percentage of the LFL of the refrigerant and shall be calibrated to the refrigerant employed, and the appropriate percentage of gas (25 % maximum) is confirmed.
Leak detection fluids are also suitable for use with most refrigerants but the use of detergents containing chlorine shall be avoided as the chlorine can react with the refrigerant and corrode the copper pipe-work.
NOTE: Examples of leak detection fluids are
- bubble method
– fluorescent method agents
If a leak is suspected, all naked flames shall be removed/extinguished.
If a leakage of refrigerant is found which requires brazing, all of the refrigerant shall be recovered from the system, or isolated (by means of shut off valves) in a part of the system remote from the leak. Removal of refrigerant shall be according to Clause 101.DVS.9.
101.DVS.9 Removal and evacuation
When breaking into the refrigerant circuit to make repairs – or for any other purpose – conventional procedures shall be used. However, for flammable refrigerants it is important that best practice be followed, since flammability is a consideration. The following procedure shall be adhered to:
a) Safely remove refrigerant following local and national regulations
b) Purge the circuit with inert gas
c) Evacuate (optional for A2L)
d) Purge with inert gas (optional for A2L)
e) Open the circuit by cutting or brazing
The refrigerant charge shall be recovered into the correct recovery cylinders if venting is not allowed by local and national codes. For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, the system shall be purged with oxygen-free nitrogen to render the appliance safe for flammable refrigerants. This process might need to be repeated several times.
Compressed air or oxygen shall not be used for purging refrigerant systems.
For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, refrigerants purging shall be achieved by breaking the vacuum in the system with oxygen-free nitrogen and continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved, then venting to atmosphere, and finally pulling down to a vacuum (optional for A2L). This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the system (optional for A2L). When the final oxygen-free nitrogen charge is used, the system
shall be vented down to atmospheric pressure to enable work to take place.
Ensure that the outlet for the vacuum pump is not close to any potential ignition sources and that ventilation is available.
101.DVS.10 Charging procedures
In addition to conventional charging procedures, the following requirements shall be followed.
a) Ensure that contamination of different refrigerants does not occur when using charging equipment. Hoses or lines shall be as short as possible to minimize the amount of refrigerant contained in them.
b) Cylinders shall be kept in an appropriate position according to the instructions.
c) Ensure that the REFRIGERATING SYSTEM is earthed prior to charging the system with refrigerant.
d) Label the system when charging is complete (if not already).
e) Extreme care shall be taken not to overfill the REFRIGERATING SYSTEM. Prior to recharging the system, it shall be pressure-tested with the appropriate purging gas. The system shall be leak-tested on completion of charging but prior to commissioning. A follow up leak test shall be carried out prior to leaving the site.
101.DVS.11 Decommissioning
Before carrying out this procedure, it is essential that the technician is completely familiar with the equipment and all its detail. It is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are recovered safely. Prior to the task being carried out, an oil and refrigerant sample shall be taken in case analysis is required prior to re-use of recovered refrigerant. It is essential that electrical power is available before the task is commenced.
a) Become familiar with the equipment and its operation.
b) Isolate the system electrically.
c) Before attempting the procedure, ensure that:
i) mechanical handling equipment is available, if required, for handling refrigerant cylinders;
ii) all personal protective equipment is available and being used correctly;
iii) the recovery process is supervised at all times by a competent person;
iv) recovery equipment and cylinders conform to the appropriate standards.
d) Pump down refrigerant system, if possible.
e) If a vacuum is not possible, make a manifold so that refrigerant can be removed from various parts of the system.
f) Make sure that cylinder is situated on the scales before recovery takes place.
g) Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with instructions.
h) Do not overfill cylinders (no more than 80 % volume liquid charge).
i) Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily.
j) When the cylinders have been filled correctly and the process completed, make sure that the cylinders and the equipment are removed from site promptly and all isolation valves on the equipment are closed off.
k) Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another REFRIGERATING SYSTEM unless it has been cleaned and checked.
101.DVS.12 Labelling
Equipment shall be labelled stating that it has been de-commissioned and emptied of refrigerant. The label shall be dated and signed. For appliances containing FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS, ensure that there are labels on the equipment stating the equipment contains FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANT.
101.DVS.13 Recovery
When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is recommended good practice that all refrigerants are removed safely.
When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for holding the total system charge is available. All cylinders to be used are designated for the recovered refrigerant and labelled for that refrigerant (i.e., special cylinders for the recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders shall be complete with pressure-relief valve and associated shut-off valves in good working order. Empty recovery cylinders are evacuated and, if possible, cooled before recovery occurs.
The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set of instructions concerning the equipment that is at hand and shall be suitable for the recovery of all appropriate refrigerants including, when applicable, FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS. In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales shall be available and in
good working order. Hoses shall be complete with leak-free disconnect couplings and in good condition. Before using the recovery machine, check that it is in satisfactory working order, has been properly maintained and that any associated electrical components are sealed to prevent ignition in the event of a refrigerant release. Consult manufacturer if in doubt.
The recovered refrigerant shall be returned to the refrigerant supplier in the correct recovery cylinder, and the relevant waste transfer note arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in recovery units and especially not in cylinders. If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been evacuated to an acceptable level to make certain that FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANT does not remain within the lubricant. The evacuation process shall be carried out prior to returning the compressor to the suppliers. Only electric heating to the compressor body shall be employed to accelerate this process. When oil is drained from a system, it shall be carried out safely.
