INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Before Using Your Icemaker 1. Remove the exterior and interior packing. CAUTION: After unpacking you MUST allow this appliance to stand upright for at least 2 hours to allow the lubricant and refrigerant to drain back into the compressor and stabilize. Failure to do so may adversely affect performance and the lifetime of this appliance. 2. Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth. 3. Install the handle on the left side of the door.
NOTE: ● The water valve is equipped with two strainers: a plastic basket type and a wire mesh screen. Turn off the water (the local water service center should be able to provide this service), and disassemble the water valve when cleaning both strainers. Consider installing a second water strainer in the water line if local water conditions require periodic cleaning, or if using a well as a water source. Obtain a water strainer from a local appliance dealer, if needed.
OPERATING YOUR ICEMAKER Control Panel The icemaker should be placed where the ambient temperature is between 61°F and 90°F (16°C to 32°C). If the ambient temperature is above or below this range, the performance of the appliance may be affected. For example, placing the appliance in extremely cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate. ON/OFF Power To turn the appliance on or off, press the ON/OFF button.
NOTE: ● If the appliance is unplugged, turned off, or if there is a power failure, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the appliance. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the icemaker will not work. ● When using the icemaker for the first time, or restarting it after it has been shut off for a long time, there could be a few degrees variance between the set temperature and the temperature indicated on the LED readout. This is normal and is due to the length of the inactivated time.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE Cleaning Your Icemaker 1. Turn off the power, unplug the appliance, and remove all items including shelves and racks. 2. Wash the inside surfaces with warm water and baking soda solution. Prepare the solution by mixing about 2 tablespoons of baking soda with a quart of water. 3. Wash the shelves with a mild detergent solution. 4. Wring excess water out of the sponge or cloth when cleaning the area of the controls, or any electrical parts. 5.
