EXPECTING NORMAL SOUNDS
Your new ice machine may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Hard surfaces like the fl oor and
walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of
sounds that might be new to you and the source of those sounds:
•
Rattling noises may come from the fl ow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on top of
the ice machine can also make noises.
• The
high-e
ffi
ciency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
•
Water running from the evaporator to the water reservoir may make a splashing sound.
•
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant fl owing in your ice
machine.
•
You may hear the sound of the condenser fan forcing air over the condenser.
•
During the harvest cycle, you may hear the sound of ice cubes falling into the ice bin.
DEALING WITH POWER FAILURE
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not a
ff
ect the temperature of your ice
machine if you minimize the number of times you open the ice machine door. If the power is going to
be o
ff
for a longer period of time, take the proper steps to disconnect your appliance.
!
WARNING
Failure to unplug the ice machine could result in electrical shock or personal injury.

When the ice machine is operating, the evaporator is only component that is cold to make ice. A power failure will
only impact the machine making ice. The ice in the bin would slowly melt as normal.
