zNormal operating ambient temperature should be between13℃ to 32℃. zNormal operating water temperature should be between 5 ℃ and 25 ℃ . zOperation of the icemaker for extended periods out side of these normal ztemperature ranges may affect production capacity. z The plug must be accessible after installation. In general, it is always a good idea to filter the water. A water filter, if it is of the proper type, can remove taste and odors as well as particles.
sure you have the proper electrical connection. It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your ice maker, be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain. Recommended grounding method For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power supply cord having a grounding plug.
Water Supply and Drain Connections The water supply and drain should be ready at the point of installation. A wall outlet directly behind the ice maker will make under-counter installation easier. IMPORTANT: 1. All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements. Professional installation is recommended. 2. Make certain that the pipes are not pinched or kinked or damaged during installation. 3. Check for leaks after connection. Connecting the water line: 1.
receptacle. A stand pipe with a trap below it would be acceptable for the drain/waste receptacle. A floor drain is also acceptable. 3. Pour 4 liter of water into the ice storage bin to check for leaks at all drain connections and at the nut of the drain water hole. Tighten any connections or nuts that leak. IMPORTANT: Poor drainage will cause a high rate of ice melting in the ice storage bin.
2. 3. 4. 5. 6. unit flat on the floor or on a platform depending on your installation requirements. The water supply pipe and drainpipe must be plumbed before connecting to the ice maker. Turn on main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connection leaks. Tighten any connections (including connections at the valve) or nuts that leak. Pour 4 liter of water into the ice storage bin to check leaks at all drain connections and the nut of the drain water hole. Tighten any connections or nuts that leak.
Operating Method 1. Switch on the Power switch on the front panel. The light will be on. The ice maker will start working automatically and feeding water. 2. After the first feeding of the water, the machine will automatically go to the ice making stage, and the sound of water spraying will be heard. 3. Ice will be harvested to the ice storage bin. When the storage bin is filled with ice cubes, the ice maker will automatically stop working.
and water inlet valve. These two valves open and warm up the freezing surface, so the cubes to fall into the bin. The freeze cycle will restart. How the machine uses water The ice maker begins with a fixed charge of water that is contained in the water bin. As the water is sprayed against the freezing evaporator surface, the portion of water that does not contain mineral impurities will freeze and stick to the ice cube molds. The water containing impurities falls back into the water bin.
• • • • Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a splashing sound. As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your icemaker. 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. When you first start the ice maker, you may hear water running continuously. The ice maker is programmed to run a rinse cycle before it begins to make ice.
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 the unit is used outdoors, or there are other special considerations. What shouldn't be done 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.
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 three months. 1.Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power. 2. Remove the 2 screws in the front cover. Pull upward to remove the front cover. 3.Locate the condenser surface. 4.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The sprinkler should only be cleaned when you find that some of the ice cubes are improperly shaped during ice making. Cleaning the ice making system should follow cleaning of the sprinkler. 1. Connect power to the unit and open the door. 2. Take out the row of flake covers. 3. Find the sprinkler and the slideway.
4. Open the power switch, the ice maker works. Water sprays from the small nozzles, find which water sector is not sprayed well. If the reason is the slideway break the water sector, just adjust the position of slideway to have all the water sectors free forward to the ice mold. If the water sectors are free, but some sector is not sprayed well, using a new teeth-brush clean the gap of the nozzle several times. The water sector will be OK. 5.
7. A de-scaling solution can be prepared in a plastic basin with Nu-Calgon Nickel-Safe Ice Machine Cleaner. Mix 4 ounces of the ice machine cleaner per gallon of warm water. 8. Remove the sprinkler arm from the interior. Thoroughly clean the sprinkler arm by soaking it in the basin filled with the de-scaling solution until it is free of any deposit; use a soft brush to remove any thick or stubborn residue and to help the dissolving action. Rinse under a stream of tap water. 9.
save them in an ice chest or cooler. Remove the screws in the front cover, push forward to remove the front cover. Notice: Don’ t overexert, or the leads connected with the power switch can be torn down. Put the front cover against the right side cover. 3. Locate the control box. 4. Turn on the power to the ice maker. Pour 230g of Nickel-Safe Ice Maker Cleaning Solution into the water bin. Add 230g of tap water. After about 5 minutes, press down the "clean" button on the Water bin Control Box.
8. Fill a spray bottle with the sanitizing solution and spray all corners and edges making sure to cover all surfaces with the solution. Soak the flake cover and slideway in the solution and put back in place after drying. 9. Allow the solution to be in contact for at least 3 minutes, then dry. 10. Repeat step 6 to rinse the ice making system one more time. 11. Reassemble the front cover. 12. Turn on the power again. The machine will return to the regular ice making mode. Discard the first batch of ice.
