OPERATING YOUR ICE MAKER
INITIAL START-UP OPERATION
1. A LICENCED PLUMBER MUST PROPERLY INSTALL THE UNIT.
2. MAKE SURE THE ON-OFF SWITCH IS IN THE “OFF” POSITION.
3. PLUG THE APPLIANCE INTO AN 115V POLARIZED AND GROUNDED ELECTRICAL OUTLET.
4. TURN THE ON-OFF SWITCH TO THE “ON” POSITION.
5. MAKE SURE THE METAL LEVER INSIDE IS PUSHED DOWN INTO THE ON POSITION
6. MAKE SURE THE WATER SUPPLY IS ON. AS SOON AS THE INNER MECHANISM REACHES
THE PROPER TEMPERATURE, THE ICEMAKER WILL BEGING TO FILL WITH WATER.
7. THE FIRST CUBES MAY BE SMALL DUE TO AIR IN THE WATER LINE. LATER CUBES WILL BE
OF STANDARD CRESCENT MOON SHAPE AND SIZE.
8. THE APPROXIMATE TIME FOR THE FIRST CYCLE IS BETWEEN 30-40 MINUTES.
9. EACH CYCLE WILL CONSUME ABOUT 5 FL. OZ. OF WATER SO YOU SHOULD HAVE A FULL
TRAY, AFTER 11 HOURS.
IMPORTANT: THROW AWAY ALL ICE CUBES MADE DURING THE FIRST 3
HOURS OF
OPERATION.
WHEN THE ICE BUCKET IS FULL, THE ICE MAKING MECHANISM WILL
AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. THE REFRIGERATION SYSTEM WILL
CONTINUE TO COOL AND MAINTAIN FREEZING TEMPERATURES WITHIN
THE UNIT.
THE ICE MAKER WILL AUTOMATICALLY STOP PRODUCING ICE
WHEN
THE METAL ARM IS LIFTED TO AN UPRIGHT POSITION AS THE ICE
BASKET FILLS (SEE FIGURE 2)
IF THE ICEMAKER IS NOT USED REGULARLY, WE RECOMMEND THAT THE ICE BUCKET BE
EMPTIED PERIODICALLY TO ENSURE FRESH ICE.
THE CUBES MAY APPEAR WHITE OR CLOUDY. THIS IS NORMAL AND SHOULD NOT BE A
CAUSE FOR CONCERN. THIS WILL NOT AFFECT THE TASTE OR SMELL OF THE ICE.
THE FRONT GRILL SHOULD BE KEPT FREE OF DUST AND LINT TO PERMIT
UNRESTRICTED AIRFLOW.
THIS UNIT SHOULD BE DEFROSTED ABOUT EVERY 4-6 WEEKS OR WHEN FROST ON THE
ICE MAKER WALLS IS EXCESSIVE (¼” OR THICKER). TO DEFROST, TURN THE UNIT OFF,
REMOVE/DISCARD THE EXISTING CUBES AND KEEP DOOR OPEN AT LEAST TWO INCHES.
YOU MAY WANT TO PLACE A TOWEL UNDERNEATH THE OPEN DOOR TO SOAK UP ANY
WATER.
DO NOT SCRAPE OFF THE FROST WITH ANYTHING EXCEPT A PLASTIC SCRAPER.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
FAILURE TO UNPLUG THE ICE MAKER PRIOR TO CLEANING, MOVING, OR SERVICING COULD
RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR PERSONAL INJURY.
CLEANING YOUR ICE MAKER
TURN THE SWITCH CONTROL TO "OFF" POSITION, UNPLUG THE ICE MAKER AND REMOVE
THE BUCKET.
WASH THE INSIDE WITH A WARM WATER AND BAKING SODA SOLUTION. THE SOLUTION
SHOULD BE ABOUT 2 TABLESPOONS OF BAKING SODA TO A QUART OF WATER.
WASH THE BUCKET WITH A MILD DETERGENT SOLUTION.
THE OUTSIDE OF THE ICE MAKER SHOULD BE CLEANED WITH MILD DETERGENT AND
WARM WATER.
THE STAINLESS STEEL COMPONENTS OF THE DOOR SHOULD BE CLEANED WITH
STAINLESS STEEL CLEANER
THE CONDENSER COILS SHOULD BE VACUUMED WHEN THEY ARE DUSTY OR DIRTY.
NOTE: PLACING THE ICE BUCKET IN THE DISHWASHER MAY CAUSE DISTORTION OF THE
ICE BUCKET.
