Safety Important Safety Instructions Safety Precautions WARNING Do not attempt to install or operate your unit until you have read the safety precautions in this manual. Safety items throughout this manual are labeled with a Danger, Warning or Caution based on the risk type. • Never attempt to repair or perform maintenance on the unit until the electricity has been disconnected.
Installation Installation Dimensions 24” (61) 14 - 15/16” (37.9) 34 - 1/8” (86.7) FULL RETRACT HEIGHT 5” (12.7) WATER DRAIN WATER OUTLET WATER VALVE 21 - 3/4” (55.2) Installing the Drain CAUTION PLEASE READ all instructions completely before attempting to install or operate the unit. All ice makers require a connection to the water supply and improper hook-up can result in substantial property damage! All water and drain connections MUST BE made by a licensed/qualified plumbing contractor.
Installation Connecting a Drain Pump If a gravity drain connection is not available, we strongly recommend the use of the Electrolux EIMP60 drain pump. The Electrolux EIMP60 drain pump is available through your Dealer, or direct from Electrolux with complete installation instructions. If a pump other than the Electrolux EIMP60 drain pump is to be used, it must meet the following specifications: • It must be UL listed and have a UL listed, 120 VAC, 3-wire grounded power cord.
Site Preparation Preparing the Site IMPORTANT It is extremely important that the unit is level. If it is not level, the ice mold will not fill evenly. This can cause a reduction in ice rate, uneven sized cubes or water spilling into the storage area which will cause the ice in the bin to melt prematurely. Remember that floors near drains have a tendency to slope towards the drain. 1 Position the unit on a flat, level surface, capable of supporting the entire weight of the unit.
Water Supply Connection Connecting the Water Supply CAUTION When connecting the water supply, follow these guidelines: • Review the local plumbing codes before you install the unit. • The water pressure should be between 30 and 120 psi. CAUTION If you are using a filter system you will need to have at least 20 psi for 3 minutes every 15 minutes. • After completing the installation, turn on the water and recheck water and drain connection for leaks. Apply additional tightening if needed.
Leveling Leveling the unit 1 Use a level to check the levelness of the ice maker from front to back and from side to side (see Figure 10). CHECK LEVEL Figure 10 2 If the ice maker is not level, adjust the feet on the corners of the unit as necessary (see Figure 11). TURN FOOT TO ADJUST Figure 11 3 Check the levelness after each adjustment and repeat the previous steps until the unit is level.
Door Reversal Reversing the Door (some models) All Electrolux units may be left or right hand opening. The door opening is easily reversed by moving the hinge hardware to the opposite side (see Figure 12). 2 Remove plastic screw plugs (3 top and 3 bottom) from new hinge location (see Figure 14), and remove hinge pin hole plug in top of door (see Figure 15). Do not discard.
Door Reversal 4 Remove the two door closer inserts from the existing bottom hinge and install as shown on the new bottom hinge (see Figure 17). 7 Holding door upright with top of door tilted forward, place hole of door pivot plate on bottom hinge screw pin (see Figure 19). Be sure that the bosses on the closers align with holes in hinge and hinge plate. Figure 17 Figure 19 DOOR CLOSER INSERTS BOSS UL312 5 Remove existing bottom hinge (3 screws) and remount on opposite side TOP.
Door Adjustment Adjusting the Door Your door is aligned at the factory before shipment. Occasional re-adjustment may be necessary, especially if an overlay panel is installed. The following procedure will correct for up to 1/4” alignment. 4 If door edge opposite the hinges needs to move up, move plate toward outside of door. If door edge needs to move down, move plate toward inside of door (see Figure 22). Repeat until top edge of door is parallel with top of cabinet and tighten screws securely.
Built-In Installation / Start-Up Installing a Built-In Your Electrolux product has been designed for either free-standing or built-in installation. When built-in, your ice maker does not require additional air space for top, sides or rear. However, the front grille must NOT be obstructed. To ease unit installation and removal, the unit must be located to allow clearance for water, drain and electrical connections in the rear of the ice maker.
Operation Normal Operation The ice maker is designed to make clear ice from most water sources on a consistent basis. Water is constantly circulated over the evaporator assembly. As the water freezes, gravity causes any sediment to drop into the water trough and not become imbedded in the ice. This gives a clearer ice cube with a low mineral content. When the ice reaches the desired thickness, it falls off the evaporator and into the storage bin. The cycle is then repeated.
Operation Ice Cube Thickness Adjustment SAMPLE AREA Interval - As Required Ice thickness adjustments are made using the control panel as follows: UP POWER ARROW DISPLAY LIGHT, DOWN BLACKOUT MODE ARROW & OTHER FUNCTIONS ICE Figure 27 Figure 28 ICE005 1. To enter the thickness adjustment mode: a. Touch and hold the UP ARROW button. b. Touch and release the DOWN ARROW button three times, then release the UP ARROW button. c.
Maintenance Special Considerations • For best performance, keep the unit out of direct sunlight. • Turn the unit OFF and dispose of any ice cubes if the unit will not be used for 5 days or more. Prop door open to allow for air circulation and prevent mold and mildew. • If the ambient temperature is expected to drop below 45°F (7°C), drain all water from the unit to prevent freezing damage not covered by the warranty.
Maintenance Condenser Cleaning — Every Self Cleaning — Every 6 Months To maintain operational efficiency, clean the unit 3 Months To maintain operational efficiency, clean the condenser every three months (depending on environmental conditions, more or less frequent cleaning may be necessary). WARNING every six months (depending on water conditions more or less frequent cleaning may be necessary).
Maintenance 2 Remove all ice from the storage bin. 8 Reinstall inside front cover. 3. Remove inside front cover. (See figure 31.) 9 When the self-cleaning process stops (approximately 45 minutes) the unit will remain off for an additional 15 minutes. When the clean cycle is completed, the display will automatically switch back to set temperature and unit will run as normal operation. 10 Clean the storage bin. (See INTERIOR CLEANING).
Maintenance / Storage, Vacation and Moving Inlet Screen Cleaning — Every Year The solenoid valve inlet screen must be cleaned at least once each year as follows: 1 If the unit is to be stored, moved or not used for extended periods, it will be necessary to drain the system of water. WARNING Shut off the water at the water supply valve. 2 Pull the unit out to access the back panel. 3 Disconnect electrical power to the unit.
Troubleshooting Before You call For Service If the unit appears to be malfunctioning, read through Normal Operation first. If the problem persists, check the Troubleshooting Guide. Locate the problem in the guide and refer to the cause and its remedy before calling for service. The problem could be something very simple which can be solved without a service call. DANGER ELECTROCUTION HAZARD NEVER attempt to repair or perform maintenance on the unit until the main electrical power has been disconnected.
