INSTALLATION

BEFORE USING YOUR ICE MAKER

  • REMOVE THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR PACKAGING MATERIAL.
  • CHECK TO BE SURE YOU HAVE ALL OF THE FOLLOWING PARTS:

• 1 DOOR HANDLE
- 1 ICE BUCKET
• 1 ICE SCOOP
• 1 DOOR LATCH HOOK
• 1 DOOR LATCH BLOCK
• 1 QUICK FITTING [for connecting to the water supply]
- 1 IN LINE FILTER
- 1 FILTER CLIP
• 1 WATER LINE CLIP
• 1 ALTERNATIVE LOWER GRILL
• 4 ALTERNATIVE HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE FEET

- Before connecting the ice maker to the power source, let it stand upright for approximately 4 hours. This will reduce the possibility of a malfunction in the cooling system from handling during transportation.

- Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

INSTALLING THE ICE MAKER

CAUTIONS:

- The appliance shall not be exposed to rain even for the model with IPX4.

- This appliance is designed to expel hot air through the front vent. This allows for installation in a recessed or built-in application, if desired.

- Place your ice maker on a level surface that is strong enough to support the ice maker when it is fully loaded. The unit will be significantly heavier once it is operational and fully loaded. Level your ice maker by adjusting the legs at the front of the ice maker.

- Place the ice maker away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the finish and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the ice maker to malfunction. This ice maker is designed for installation indoors in “room temperature” ambient conditions or outdoors in covered areas not exposed to direct sunlight or rain (outdoor model only).

- Position the unit to allow unrestricted airflow through the front grill, do not place the unit in the moist/humid areas. Too much moisture in the air can cause frost to form quickly on the evaporator which will require frequent defrosting.

- Plug the ice maker into a professionally installed grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

  • This ice maker should be properly grounded for safety. The power cord of this ice maker is equipped with a three-prong plug which fits into standard three prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
  • Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord supplied.
  • Do not use an extension cord to connect power to the unit.
  • Do not use a two-prong grounding adapter.
  • If you only have a two-prong wall outlet, contact a qualified electrician to have it replaced with a 3-prong outlet in accordance with applicable electrical codes.
    • This ice maker requires a standard 115 volts AC. 60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong ground.
    • The cord should be secured behind the ice maker and not left exposed or loose.

EXTENSION CORD

Because of potential safety hazards, this appliance is not recommended for use with an extension cord. However, if you must use an extension cord, use only a UI/cul-listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord with a grounding type plug and outlet. The electrical rating of the cord must be 115 volts and at least 10 amps.

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY

WARNING: Connect to potable water supply only.

All the necessary hardware is not provided (as the plumbing fixtures at the installation point may differ) for installation so you must hire a professional licensed plumber to complete the installation.

  • Connect the water supply tube to the nearest cold water source. Connect sufficient tubing to the unit to allow the appliance to be moved freely for cleaning and service. Also make sure that the tubing is not pinched or damaged during transportation/installation.
  • Wipe the inside of unit and ice bucket with a damp cloth.
  1. Plug the appliance into a 115/120v polarized and grounded wall electrical outlet.
  2. Place the on-off switch in the "I" position.
  3. Make sure the water supply is on. As soon as the inner mechanism reaches the proper temperature, the icemaker mechanism will fill the mold with water.
  4. The first cubes may be small because of air in the water line. Later cubes will be of standard crescent type size.
  5. Approximate time for the first cycle is between 30-40 minutes.
  6. Each cycle approximately will take 5 oz of water so you should have a full tray after 11 hours.

IMPORTANT: THROW AWAY ALL ICE CUBES MADE DURING THE FIRST 3 HOURS OF OPERATION.

  • When the ice bucket is full, the ice making mechanism will automatically shut off. If the ice cubes melt, the ice making mechanism will start again.
  • Ice delivery may be paused by raising the metal arm into an upright position
  • If the icemaker is not used regularly, it is recommended that the ice bucket be emptied periodically to ensure fresh ice.
  • Sometimes the 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 front grille should be kept free of dust and lint to allow free airflow.

Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.

IMPORTANT: This unit should be defrosted approximately every 4-6 weeks or when frost on the ice maker walls is excessive or more than 14'' thick. If the ambient temperature is above 100^ (38°C), defrosting should be done more often, or the ice production will be affected. To defrost, turn the unit off, remove cubes and keep door open at least two inches.
