Frequently Asked Questions - IME49U3S-IS Avanti

How do I install the water supply line?

Turn off main water supply. Connect a 1/4-inch soft copper tubing to a shut-off valve. Use the provided water supply hose (6 ft) to connect from the valve to the water inlet on the back of the ice maker. Tighten firmly by hand then 1/2 turn with wrench. Turn on water and check for leaks. Minimum pressure 15 psig. See manual for details.

How do I clean the ice maker?

Disconnect power and water. Remove ice from bin. Use a sanitizing solution (1 oz bleach + 2 gallons hot water) to wipe interior. For mineral scale, use Nickel-Safe Ice Maker Cleaner: pour 8 oz into water trough, press ON/OFF and CLEAN buttons, run for 30 minutes, then drain and rinse three times. Discard first batch of ice after cleaning.

What do the indicator lights mean?

Green ICE light blinks during ice making; solid when making ice. Yellow HARVEST light blinks during harvest cycle when ice is released. Red BIN FULL light illuminates when bin is full or sensor blocked; unit stops making ice until cleared. Red light will blink for 3 minutes before restart.

How do I adjust ice cube size?

Press and hold the Adjust button for 3 seconds until HARVEST LED blinks. Then press Mode (+) for larger cubes (BIN FULL LED flashes) or Clean (-) for smaller cubes (ICE LED flashes). After 10 seconds inactivity, unit returns to normal. Note: cannot adjust during cleaning or bin full.

Why is my ice maker not making ice?

Check if unit is plugged in, power button ON, water supply valve open, bin not full, condenser clean, and ambient temperature between 50°F and 100°F. If water not feeding, check connection and pressure (min 15 psig). Refer to Troubleshooting Guide in manual.

How do I reverse the door swing?

Unplug unit. Remove top hinge cover and screws, lift door off bottom hinge. Remove bottom hinge. Rotate door 180°. Install original top hinge at bottom on opposite side and bottom hinge at top. Reattach door and adjust. Use Phillips and flathead screwdrivers. See manual illustrations.

How often should I clean the condenser?

At least every six months. Unplug unit, remove front louver panel, use vacuum brush to clean condenser fins. Reassemble. A dirty condenser reduces ice production.

What should I do if the alarm buzzer sounds?

Turn off unit and water supply. Remove all ice and wipe up water. Check water trough for water; if empty, drain pump may not be receiving power. Check power source, ensure no kinked hoses. If problem persists, contact Avanti Customer Service.

Can I use an extension cord?

No, extension cords are strongly discouraged due to safety hazards. If absolutely necessary, use a UL-listed, 3-wire grounding type rated 115V and at least 15 amps. However, direct wall outlet is recommended.

How do I prepare the ice maker for long-term storage?

Shut off water and power. Disconnect water supply line. Remove ice storage bin and dry. Pull drain tube to empty water trough. Leave door open to prevent mold. Keep power cord disconnected until reuse.

WARNING

EXCESSIVE WEIGHT HAZARD

USE TWO OR MORE PEOPLE TO MOVE AND INSTALL THE ICEMAKER

FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN BACK OR OTHER INJURY

INSTALLATION OF YOUR ICEMAKER

• THIS ICEMAKER SHOULD BE PROPERLY INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL This icemaker MUST be installed with electrical and water connections in accordance with all state and local codes.
• When installing the ice maker under a counter, follow the recommended spacing dimensions shown. Allow at least 2" (50.8 mm) of clearance at rear, and 14 " (6.35 mm) at sides for proper air circulation. The installation should allow the ice maker to be pulled forward for servicing if necessary.
• Place your icemaker on a floor that is strong enough to support the icemaker when it is fully loaded. To level your icemaker, adjust the legs at the front of the icemaker.
• Locate the icemaker away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the icemaker not to perform properly.
• Choose a well ventilated area with temperatures above 50^ F ( 10^ C) and below 100^ F ( 38^ C). This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the elements.
• Avoid locating the icemaker in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form quickly on the evaporator requiring more frequent defrosting of the icemaker.

INSTALLATION CLEARANCES:

• The installation of this icemaker requires a cold water supply inlet of 14 (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 supply into the icemaker should be between 41^ (5°C) and 90^ (32°C) for proper operation.
• It is strongly recommended that a water filter be used. A filter, if it is of the proper type, can reme taste and odors as well as particles. Some water is very hard, and softened water may result in white, mushy cubes that stick together. De-lonized water is NOT recommended.

3. Lift the door off of the bottom hinge and set the door aside.

1. Using a flathead screwdriver, separate the hinge axis from top hinge.
2. Remove the three screws securing the top hinge to the cabinet. Remove the plug buttons opposite the top hinge. Place hinge, screws, plug buttons and hinge axis safely aside.
3. Open the door about 20 degrees, then lift the door off the bottom hinge 2 and set the door aside.
4. Remove the three screws securing the bottom hinge to the cabinet and the plugs opposite.
5. Rotate the door 180 degrees from its original position. The handle should be opposite the door hinges.
6. Replace the original top hinge on the opposite side at the bottom and the original bottom hinge on the opposite side at the top.
7. Install the hinge axis back through the bottom hinge. Gently place the door on the bottom hinge and open it approximately 20 degrees.
8. Install the top hinge axis and tighten firmly. Replace all plug buttons.

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 not more than 80 psig. (A wall outlet directly behind the machine will make installation easier.)

IMPORTANT:

1. All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements. Professional installation is recommended.
2. Make certain the hoses are not pinched or kinked or damaged during installation.
3. Check for leaks after connection.

Tools required: 12 -in. open-end wrench, Phillips screwdriver

Connecting the water line:

1. Turn off main water supply. Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.
2. Find a 12 -in. to 34 -in. vertical cold water pipe near the installation location. The distance should be less than 6 feet. The water supply hose provided with the ice maker is approximately 6 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 tubing, attach a 14 " O.D. compression union to the tubing and install the valve.
4. 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.
5. 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 ice maker. Follow the steps outlined 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 (59") or over a length of 1.5m (59").

Vertical Drain

Horizontal Drain

Connecting the drain line:

NOTE: If there is a drain line near the ice maker, the best choice is to drain water to the drain line through the drain water hose provided with ice maker.

1. Locate the floor drain near the ice maker. The distance should be less than 5 feet since the length of the long drain water hose provided with the ice maker is abo 5 feet.
2. Find the drain outlet on the back of ice maker. Connect the drain outlet to the water draining hose, and insert the other end of the hose into the drain line.
3. All horizontal runs of drain lines must have a fall of 14 " per foot. An air gap will likely be required between the ice maker 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 a condensate pump is recommended.
4. Pour 1 gallon of water into the ice storage bin to check for leaks in the drainage system. Tighten any connections that leak.

IMPORTANT: This ice maker is not a free-frequent drainage will cause a high rate of melting in the ice storage bin. How the drain system operates when water is pumped out

The components of the Pump-Out Water Drain System are

• Water reservoir PC Board & Water level switch 1, 2
• Water Drain Pump

OPERATION

• All water coming from the overflow and the melted ice is collected in the water reservoir.
• As soon as the water in the reservoir reaches the maximum level, the water level switch closes, transmitting a low voltage current to the PC Board.

• The PC board activates the water drain pump for 20 pumping out most of the water contained in the water
  • The water can be pumped out up a rise of to 1.5m

Control Panel: Description of buttons and indicator lights:

Indicator Lights:

1. BIN FULL (RED): Bin is full

When this light is illuminated, the ice storage bin is full of ice or there is something blocking the bin full sensor. The unit will stop the ice making process until the level of ice has reduced or the object blocking the sensor is removed.

When ice-cubes are removed and the bin full sensor is cleared; the bin-full indicator light will blink for 3 minutes, then the unit will restart and return to the ice-making process.

1. ICE (Green): Ice making process.

When this light is illuminated, the unit is working in the ice-making process which is controlled by a temperature sensor on the evaporator. When the indicator light flashes green, the unit is working to produce ice and is based on a fixed timer.

1. HARVEST (Yellow): Ice Harvest process.

When this light is illuminated, the unit is in the process of harvesting the ice that was produced. The machine will continue to make and harvest ice until the bin-full sensor notes that the bin is full or until the unit is turned off or the system mode is changed by touching the "MODE" button.

1. Mode button: This button is used primarily for the quick start of the Ice making process or for service / repair issues. You can “quick start” the system by pressing the “MODE” button when first plugged in, power has been lost or if the unit has been turned off for a period of time.

2. Adjust button: This button is used primarily for service and or to select the size of the ice-cubes. To select the ice cubes, press and hold the button for approximately 3 seconds, the "HARVEST" (Yellow) indicator light will illuminate and the system will enter the Ice Size Selection mode.

6. When the ice storage bin is full, the sheet of cubes will not fall completely and will hold the bin-f sensor open. The machine will stop making ice automatically. (The BIN-Full indicator light (RED) will blink to indicate the bin is full or the sensor is being blocked.)

7. The unit will start making ice again after ice cubes are removed or when the bin-full sensor swing back to operating position. (The BIN-Full indicator light (RED) will continue to blink for approximately 3 minutes, then the system will automatically begin the ice-making process again.)

IMPORTANT:

- Although the unit has been tested 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 ice maker is working.

- Never touch the evaporator when unit is running!

- To prevent ice from melting and to ensure proper ice formation, keep the door closed except when removing ice from the bin.

Ice Size Adjustment Guide:

1. Press and hold the "Adjust" button for approximately 3 seconds. The unit will enter the Ice Size Adjustment mode. The "HARVEST" LED (yellow) will be blinking continuously while the ice size is being selected. Release the button when the LED blinks continuously to adjust the ice size.

2. While in the Ice Size Selection mode, press the "Clean" (-) button or the "Mode" (+) button for the desired ice size.

By pressing the "Clean" (-) button, you can select the SMALL size of the ice cubes. The "ICE" LED (GREEN) will flash as you select the smaller ice size.

Larger ice setting:

By pressing the "Mode" (+) button, you can select the large size of the ice cubes. The "BIN FULL" LED (RED) will flash as you select the larger ice size.

After 10 seconds without any operation, the unit will return to the previous mode.

NOTE:

- If during the ice size adjustment mode the "BIN FULL", "ICE" and "HARVEST" LEDS blink all at once; this indicates that the unit is in the regular (middle) setting of the ice size.

- When the machine is in the cleaning stage or ice full stage, the ice size adjustment mode cannot be accessed

HOW THE ICE MAKER PRODUCES ICE

Set the ON/OFF button to the ON position.

The machine will automatically go in to the ice making stage.

The unit will go through two distinct cycles during the production of your ice. The first cycle is the “freeze” where the ice is actually produced and the second is the “harvest” where the ice is dropped into the ice-bin.

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 ice maker stops the freeze cycle and the harvest cycle will begin.

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 bit. The freeze cycle will restart when all the cubes have been harvested.

How the machine uses the water

The ice maker begins with a fixed charge of water which 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.

Normal sounds

Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor and walls can make the sounds louder than they actually 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 ice maker can also make noises due to vibration.
• 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.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning The Icemaker

CAUTION

If the ice maker is left unused for a long time, before the next be thoroughly cleaned. Follow carefully any instructions provided for cleaning or use of sanitizing solutions. Do not leave any solution the ice maker after cleaning.

Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life. The maintenance intervals listed are based on normal conditions. You may want to shorten the intervals if you have pets, or there are other special considerations.

Important Note:

Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is not ice: objects like wine and be bottles are not only unsanitary, but the labels may slip off and plug up the drain.

! WARNING

Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make s power line of the unit is disconnected and the water line is shut o

Cleaning the exterior

The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water solution such as 1 oz. dishwashing liquid mixed with 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, it may 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 ice maker is used 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.

1. Disconnect the power to the unit.

2. 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 1 ounce of household bleach or chlorine and 2 gallons of hot (95°F - 115°F) water.

3. Pull off the drain hose of the water trough to drain off all w

4. Rinse thoroughly with clear water.

5. After draining off all water, put back the drain hose of the w through to the original location. Right location of the

Condenser cleaning

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.

1. Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power.
2. Gently pull off the lower front louver.
3. Remove dirt and lint from the condenser and the unit compartment with the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner
4. Reassemble the lower front louver.
5. Plug in the ice maker or reconnect power.

Cleaning the water distribution tube

When you find the ice cubes are incompletely formed or the output is low, the water distribution tube may be blocked. Turn off the power button, gently take out the water distribution tube, locate the hole in the distribution tube and use a pointed object such as a toothpick to dredge the holes. Then put t water distribution tube back to its original position. If the tube is badly blocked, clean it as follows:

1. Shut off the water supply
2. Disconnect the water hose from the distribution tube.
3. Gently take out the distribution tube.
4. With a brush, clean the tube with a dilute 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.
5. Replace the distribution tube.
6. Reconnect the water supply.

The ice machine cleaner contains acids.

DO NOT use or mix with any other solvent-based cleaner products.

Use rubber gloves to protect hands. Carefully read the material safety in on the container of the ice machine cleaner.

Discard the first batch of ice produced after cleaning.

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. With hard water of 15 to 20 grains/gal. (4 to 5 grains/ liter), you may need to clean the sy as often as once every 6 months.

1. Make sure that all the ice is off the evaporator. If ice is being formed, wait until the cycle is completed, then press the machine's ON/OFF button on the control panel.
2. Remove all ice from the storage bin.
3. Keep the ice maker connected to the water supply. Pour 8 oz. of Nickel-Safe Ice Maker Cleaner Solution into the water trough. Then press the ON/OFF button and the CLEAN button, initiating the wash cycle. The machine will run in the Automatic Clean Mode.
4. Allow 30 minutes for proper cleaning. After cleaning, press the ON/OFF button again. Use a drain hose on the front of the water trough to drain off the waste water to a convenient container.

NOTE: Don't drain off the waste water to the inside of the cabinet.

1. Repeat steps 3 and 4 (without Ice Maker Cleaning Solution) three times to rinse the ice making system thoroughly.

2. Prepare a sanitizing solution made of 1 ounce of household bleach and 2 gallons of hot water (95°F to 115°F). Wipe the entire bin inside and outside, covering the entire surface of the walls.

3. Fill a spray bottle with the sanitizing solution and spray all corners and edges, making sure to cover all surfaces with the solution.

4. Allow the solution to be in contact for at least 3 minutes, and then dry.

5. Repeat step 5 to rinse the ice making system one more time.

6. Press the ON/OFF button again. The machine will return to the regular ice making mode.

7. Discard the first batch of ice.

Power Failure

Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your icemaker if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for longer period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your food.

Vacation Time

Short vacations: Leave the unit operating during vacations of less than three weeks.

Long vacations: If the icemaker will not be used for several months, remove all of the ice and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary

Moving Your Icemaker

• Remove all the food.
• Securely tape down all loose items inside your unit.
• Turn the leveling screws up to the base to avoid damage.
• Tape the doors shut.
• Be sure the unit stays in the upright position during transportation.

Preparing the ice maker for long term storage

If the ice maker 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.

1. Shut off the water supply at the main water source.
2. Disconnect the water supply line from the water inlet.
3. Shut off the electric supply at the main electrical power source.
4. Take out the ice storage bin to remove any remaining ice and water. Dry the bin.
5. Pull off the drainage tube of the water trough to drain off all water.
6. Leave the door open to allow for circulation and to prevent mold and mildew.
7. Leave 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.

Energy Saving Tips

- The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
