Installing the Ice Maker The ice maker should be installed by a licensed plumber to be in accordance with local electrical and plumbing code requirements. Before you plug the ice maker in to a power supply, be sure to let it stand upright for at least 24 hours to allow the compressor’s oils to settle. Unpacking the Ice Maker WARNING: Use two more people to move and install the ice maker. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. Carefully remove the packaging materials.
Installation Clearance Requirements * This icemaker should be installed by a licensed 4” plumber only. * To ensure proper service access and ventilation, Top of Unit allow more 4” clearance at rear, and 1/2” at top and 1/2” at sides. The installation should allow the icemaker to be pulled forward for servicing if 1/2” necessary. 1/2” * When installing the ice maker under a counter, follow the recommended spacing dimensions shown.
Electrical Requirements Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Never remove the grounding 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 (115 V, 60Hz.
Water Supply Connections The water supply should be ready at the point of installation. The water supply pressure should be a minimum of 20 psig with a static pressure not more than 80 psig. (A wall outlet directly behind the ice maker will make installation easier.) IMPORTANT: 1. All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements. 2. Make certain that the pipes are not pinched or kinked or damaged during installation. 3. Check for leaks after connection. Tools required: ½ in.
OPERATION Final Check List before Operation 1. Have all packing materials and tape been removed from the interior and exterior of the ice maker? 2. Did you clean the ice storage bin? 3. Have the installation instructions been followed, including connecting the machine to water and electricity? Does the unit have proper drainage? 4. Has the machine been leveled? 5.
How the machine Makes Ice Turn the power switch to the ON position. The machine will automatically start the ice making stage. There are two distinct cycles: freeze and harvest. During the freeze cycle, water is sprayed against the evaporator surface. In the harvest cycle, the ice is released and water enters the machine. A complete cycle can take 20 to 40 minutes, depending on temperature and operating conditions.
Normal Sounds Your new icemaker may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them. Ratting noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line, Items stored on top of the icemaker can also make noises.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE The icemaker must be thoroughly cleaned if it has been left unused for a long time. Follow carefully any instructions provided for cleaning or use of sanitizing solution. Do not leave any solution inside the icemaker after cleaning. Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life. The maintenance intervals listed are based on normal conditions.
Interior Cleaning The ice storage bin should be sanitized occasionally. Clean the water trough before the ice maker 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. 1. Disconnect power to the unit. 2.
3. Remove the slideway from the water sump. 4. Find the sprinkler arm and raise it. Disconnect it from the water tube which is connected at the back of the sprinkler arm. 5. A de-scaling solution can be prepared in a plastic basin with NuCalgon Nickel-Safe Ice Machine Cleaner. Mix 4 ounces of the ice machine cleaner per gallon of warm water. Remove the sprinkler arm from the interior.
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. Remove the 2 screws at the bottom of the front cover and gently pull it off. 3. Locate the condenser filter. This can be lifted out and cleaned with a brush or flowing water. 4.
Ice-making system Cleaning Minerals that are removed from 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 you need 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 system as often as every 6 months. 1. Turn off the power to the ice maker.
Control Panel (Inside of the front panel) Descriptions of LEDs and buttons: 1. Ice Full (Red) LED: Ice Full indicator light. When this LED is lit, the ice storage bin is full of ice or there is something obstructing the ice-full probe. The unit will stop working. When ice cubes are taken out of the ice storage bin, clearing the ice-full probe, the red LED will keep flashing for 3 minutes. Then the unit will restart and return to the ice making mode. 2. Ice Making (Green) LED: Ice Making indicator light.
