Sheet Metal Bracket Fig. 20 Fig. 21 3) Adjust the sheet metal bracket so that it is flush with the bottom of the door. See Fig. 22.
7) Tighten the four M4×25 pan head screws installed in step 5. See Fig. 26. 8) Replace the door gasket in its proper orientation. Reinsert the bushings into hinge (C1) and hinge (C2) (the hinges attached to the door). See Fig. 27. Bushing Tighten the screws. Gasket Bushing Fig. 26 Fig. 27 9) Attach the door to hinge (A), then continue to maintain a hold on the door. Screw the hinge stop pin into hinge (B) until it is tight. See Fig. 28.
D. Setup 1) Position the icemaker in the selected permanent location. 2) Level the icemaker from side-to-side and front-to-rear by adjusting the feet. E. Electrical Connection WARNING 1. Electrical connection must meet national, state, and local electrical code requirements. Failure to meet these code requirements could result in death, electric shock, serious injury, fire, or severe damage to equipment. 2. This unit requires an independent power supply.
F. Water Supply and Drain Connections WARNING 1. Water supply and drain connections must be installed in accordance with applicable national, state, and local regulations. 2. Normal operating water temperature should be within 45°F to 95°F (7°C to 35°C). Operation of the icemaker, for extended periods, outside of this normal temperature range may affect icemaker performance. 3. To prevent damage to equipment, do not operate the icemaker when the water supply is off, or if the pressure is below 10 PSIG.
G. Final Checklist WARNING CHOKING HAZARD: Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are securely in place after installation. Make sure that none have fallen into the storage bin.
H. Startup WARNING 1. All parts are factory-adjusted. Improper adjustments may adversely affect safety, performance, component life, and warranty coverage. 2. If the icemaker is turned off, wait for at least 3 minutes before restarting the icemaker to prevent damage to the compressor. 3. At startup, confirm that all internal and external connections are free of leaks. 1) Open the water supply line shut-off valve. 2) Make sure the control switch is in the "OFF" position.

3. Sanitizing Solution IMPORTANT For safety and maximum effectiveness, use the solution immediately after dilution. Dilute 0.5 fl. oz. (14.8 ml or 1 tbs) of a 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution (chlorine bleach) with 1 gallon (3.8 l) of warm water. This is a minimum amount. Make more solution if necessary. Using a chlorine test strip or other method, confirm that you have a concentration of about 200 ppm. 4.
7) Disconnect the discharge tube from the spray assembly, then slide out the spray assembly. See Fig. 39. 8) Remove the two caps. See Fig. 40. Discharge Tube Caps Spray Assembly Fig. 39 Fig. 40 9) Soak all of the removed parts and the scoop in the sanitizing solution for 10 minutes. If the spray assembly nozzles are clogged, clean them with a wire or a suitable brush. 10) Rinse the parts thoroughly with clean water. 11) Refit the 2 caps in their correct positions.
15) Reconnect the suction tube. 16) Hook each separator onto the rail, then pull it hard towards you until it locks into place. See Fig. 45. 17) Replace the slope in its correct position. See Fig. 46. Separator Slope Rail Fig. 45 Fig. 46 18) Discard the sanitizing solution. 19) Mix a new batch of the sanitizing solution and slowly pour it into the water tank. 20) Move the control switch to the "WASH" position.
