E. Electrical Connection WARNING • 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. • This icemaker requires an independent power supply of proper capacity. See the nameplate for electrical specifications.
F. Water Supply and Drain Connections WARNING Water supply and drain connections must be installed in accordance with applicable national, state, and local regulations. NOTICE • Normal operating water temperature must 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. • To prevent damage to the icemaker, do not operate the icemaker when the water supply is off, or if the pressure is below 10 PSIG.
• A water supply line shut-off valve and drain valve must be installed. A minimum of 1/4" nominal ID copper water tubing or equivalent is required for the water supply line. Be sure there is sufficient extra water supply line for the unit to be pulled out for service. • Water supply pressure must be a minimum of 10 PSIG and a maximum of 113 PSIG. If the pressure exceeds 113 PSIG, the use of a pressure reducing valve is required. • Drain outlet is 1/2" FPT.
III. Operating Instructions A. Important Notes About Usage WARNING • Only qualified service technicians should install and service the icemaker. • Failure to install, operate, and maintain the icemaker in accordance with this manual will adversely affect safety, performance, component life, and warranty coverage. • To reduce the risk of electric shock, make sure the control switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging in or unplugging the icemaker.
NOTICE • Protect the floor when moving the icemaker to prevent damage to the floor. • If using the optional drain pump (HS-5061), test its operation every time the icemaker is cleaned and sanitized. See "IV.E. Optional Drain Pump HS-5061" for details.

Rear Frame Pipe Front Frame Pipe Rail Rail Fig. 45 Ice Chute Water Tank Fig. 46 15) Reconnect the suction tube.
29) Clean the ice storage bin liner, door liner, and door gasket with a neutral cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning. 30) Move the control switch to the "ICE" position to start the automatic icemaking process. C. Ice Storage Bin Drain In some conditions, slime may build up inside the ice storage bin drain and prevent water from draining properly. To prevent this buildup, perform the following procedure once every 3 months or as often as necessary for conditions.
D. Condenser Check the condenser once a year, and clean if required by following the steps below. More frequent cleaning may be required depending on location. WARNING • Move the control switch to the "OFF" position and unplug the icemaker from the electrical outlet before cleaning the condenser. • To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the control switch or plug with damp hands. • Condenser fins are sharp. Use care when cleaning.
5) If water pumps out properly and the drain pump then de-energizes, proceed to step 6. If water does not pump out properly and/or the drain pump does not de-energize, the appliance must be serviced by a qualified service technician before proceeding. 6) Move the control switch to the "ICE" position. 7) Pour another 24 to 30 oz. (710 to 890 ml) of water into the icemaker's ice storage bin, then completely restrict the discharge hose while the drain pump is operating. See Fig. 50.
V. Preparing the Icemaker for Periods of Non-Use During extended periods of non-use, extended absences, or in sub-freezing temperatures, follow the instructions below.
