FOLLOW THESE BASIC PRECAUTIONS TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR INJURY WHEN USING YOUR ICE MAKER. WARNING • • • • • • READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE ICE MAKER. DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT. CHILD ENTRAPMENT AND SUFFOCATION ARE NOT PROBLEMS OF THE PAST. JUNKED OR ABANDONED APPLIANCES ARE STILL DANGEROUS. BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR ICE MAKER: TAKE OFF THE DOOR. NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN TO OPERATE, PLAY WITH, OR CRAWL INSIDE THE APPLIANCE.
• SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug with wet hands. Never clean the icemaker with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. Do not store gasoline or other flammable vapors/liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Always turn unit off and disconnect power and water line before servicing. Replace all panels after servicing or maintenance.
NOTE ON ICE STORAGE This type of icemaker produces crystal-clear, gourmet ice cubes. An insulated ice storage bin is built into the unit. When the bin is filled with ice to its max capacity, the icemaker will automatically shut off. The ice in the bin will slowly melt and go out the drain. Once the amount of ice is reduced below it max capacity, the icemaker will automatically start again.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS • • • • • BEFORE USING YOUR ICE MAKER Remove exterior and interior packing materials. Do not remove any permanent instruction labels or data label on the icemaker. Remove tape and glue from the icemaker before using. Tape or glue residue can be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.
• • • • • stick together. De-ionized water is not recommended. Place the icemaker on a level surface that is strong enough to support the unit when it is fully loaded. Remember that the unit will be significantly heavier once it is operational and fully loaded. Level the unit by adjusting the legs at the front of the icemaker. The unit should be located on a firm and level surface. If needed, adjust the height of the icemaker by rotating the leveling leg.
CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY WARNING IMPROPER WATER LINE CONNECTION MAY RESULT IN FLOODING YOU MUST USE A LICENSED PLUMBER REVIEW STATE AND LOCAL PLUMBING CODES BEFORE INSTALLATION • • • • • The water supply should be ready at the point of installation. The water supply pressure should be 15-psig minimum with static pressure no more than 80 psig. A wall outlet directly behind the icemaker will make installation easier. Be sure pipes are not pinched or kinked or damaged during installation.
OPERATING YOUR ICE MAKER OPERATION CHECK LIST All packing material and tape removed? Ice storage bin cleaned? Unit properly installed by a licensed plumber with proper drainage? Is unit leveled? Ambient temperature is between 50°F and 100°F? Supplied water temperature is between 41°F to 90°F year round? Water pressure is 15 psig minimum and static pressure no more than 80 psig? Clearance around the unit for proper air circulation? Power supply checked and tested against the nameplate ra
How the unit uses water The icemaker begins with a fixed charge of water that is contained in the water trough. As the water flows to the freezing evaporator surface, water that does not contain mineral impurities will freeze and stick to the ice cube molds. Water containing impurities will fall back into the trough. During the ice making process, fresh water enters the trough continuously as water from the trough freezes continuously on the evaporator.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE FAILURE TO UNPLUG THE ICE MAKER PRIOR TO CLEANING, MOVING, OR SERVICING COULD RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY. CLEANING YOUR ICE MAKER Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, performance and long life. Exterior Cleaning The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water solution (1oz dishwashing liquid to 2 gallons of warm water). Do not use solvent based or abrasive cleaners.
