4 Product Features 5 Operation Origins Ice Maker Models BI95, BI98, SP18 1 2 All Origins Ice Makers provide high daily ice production and storage capabilities, and conserve on water, using only 2-3/4 gallons (10.4 L) to produce approximately 22 lbs (10 kg) of ice. • Model 95 produces up to 23 lbs (10.4 kg) of ice per day and will store 12 lbs (5.4 kg). • Model 98 produces up to 25 lbs (11.3 kg) of ice per day and will store 25 lbs (11.3 kg).
Model SP18 Ice Maker To turn the unit on or off, press the rocker switch (Figure 3) located in the center of the lower grille. When the ice bucket is full, the ice making mechanism will shut off. However, the refrigeration system will continue to cool and maintain the cube supply. Ice Harvest Control Adjustments are not normally needed. The control is preset at the factory. IMPORTANT Do not place cans or bottles in the ice compartment because they will freeze.
Normal Operating Sounds Storage, Vacation, Moving All models incorporate rigid foam insulated cabinets to provide high thermal efficiency and maximum sound reduction for its internal working components.

Leveling Ice Cube Thickness Adjustment Interval - As Required The ice cube size may be adjusted by changing the amount of water injected into the ice maker assembly as follows: IMPORTANT It is extremely important that the unit sits on a level surface, as it does not have feet levelers. If it is not level, the ice mold will not fill evenly. Use a level to check the levelness of the unit from front to back and from side to side. Level should be placed along top edge and side edge as shown (Figure 15, 1).
Door Alignment Check and Adjustment IMPORTANT Properly aligned, the door’s gasket should be firmly in contact with the cabinet all the way around the door (no gaps). Carefully examine the door’s gasket to assure that it is firmly in contact with the cabinet. Also make sure the door gasket is not pinched on the hinge side of the door. ULIN_0293_A Figure 17 2.
