INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Before Using Your Ice Maker • • Remove all exterior and interior packing material. Check to be sure that the appliance is in good condition and that the following parts are included: • 1 Ice scoop • 1 Ice storage bin • 5 ft. Drain hose • 9 ft. Water supply hose • 1 Instruction manual • Before connecting the ice maker to the power source, let the unit stand upright for 24 hours. This will reduce the possibility of malfunction in the cooling system from transportation.
Connecting the water supply IMPORTANT: Improper water line connection may result in flooding. Professional installation is recommended. Review state and local plumbing codes before installation. • • • • • The ice maker requires a continuous water supply with a minimum pressure of 15 psig and a static pressure not to exceed 80 psig. The temperature of the water feeding into the ice maker should be between 41°F and 90°F for proper operation. Deionized water is not recommended for use with this unit.
OPERATING YOUR ICE MAKER IMPORTANT: Although the unit has been tested and cleaned at the factory, due to long-term transit and storage, the first batch of cubes must be discarded. Control Panel Buttons and LEDS • ON/OFF button Pressing the ON/OFF button alternates between turning the ice maker on and off. • MODE button Pressing the MODE button alternates modes between Freeze and Harvest, reflected by the status of the Green and Yellow LEDs.
• • Smaller: By pressing the “Clean” button you can decrease the size of the ice cubes made. The green LED will blink as the size is lowered. When the lowest possible size is reached, the green LED will remain lit. Bigger: By pressing the “Mode” button you can increase the size of the ice cubes made. The red LED will blink as the size is increased. When the largest possible size is reached, the red LED will remain lit. After 10 seconds of inactivity, the unit will return to the previous mode.
• Harvest: During the harvest cycle, the compressor is still operating, but the water pump has stopped. The ice cubes will slide off the evaporator into the storage bin, and the freeze cycle will restart when all the cubes have been harvested. When the ice bin is full, the ice maker will go into cold preservation mode and runs while maintaining a low temperature. NOTE: A complete cycle of the two stages takes between 15 and 40 minutes, depending on temperature and operating conditions.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and a long life for your ice maker. The maintenance intervals listed are based on normal conditions. NOTE: Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is not ice: objects like wine and beer bottles are unsanitary and labels may slip off and plug up the drain. Cleaning Never use solvent based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior of the unit.
• Ice-making system Minerals removed from water during the freezing cycle will eventually form a hard, scaly deposit in the water system. Cleaning the system regularly helps remove the mineral scale build up. Hard water and a less effective filter may require the cleaning system to be cleaned more regularly, up to once every 6 months. o Ensure that there is no ice on the evaporator. If ice is being formed, wait for the cycle to complete before turning the ice maker OFF.
