Water Supply 

The water supply should be ready at the point of installation. The water supply 
pressure should be a minimum of 20 psig with a static pressure not more than 
80 psig. (A wall outlet directly behind the ice maker will make installation 
easier.) 

We strongly recommended the use of a water filter. A filter, if it is of the 
proper type, can remove taste and odors as well as particles and can prolong 
the life of the machine.   

IMPORTANT: 

1. All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code 
requirements.   
    Professional installation is recommended. 
2. Make certain that the hoses are not pinched or kinked or damaged during 
installation. 
3. Check for leaks after connection. 
 

Tools required:

open-end wrenches, Phillips screwdriver

 

 

Connecting the water line: 

1.

 

Turn off main water supply. 

2.

 

Get a water supply at most 80 inch from installation location. As the water 
pipe provided with the unit is about 80 inch long. 

3.

 

A shut-off valve should be installed to the main water supply. If the water 
pipe has a plain piece of copper tubing, attach a ¼

O.D. compression 

union to the tubing and remove the nut. 

4.

 

Take a ¾

to ¼

O.D. fitting from the ice storage bin. Connect the fitting 

to water inlet. Tighten firmly by hand, then one-half turn with

open-end wrench. Then connect nuts of the water supply pipe to 

tap and the fitting. Tighten firmly by hand, then one-half turn with ½

open-end wrench. 

5.

 

Turn on main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connection 
leaks. Tighten every connection (including connections at the water inlet). 

NOTE: If using a water filter, be sure to follow the filter manufacturer’s 
directions.

Normal Sounds 

Your new ice cube machine may make sounds that are unfamiliar to 
you. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor 
and walls can amplify the sounds. The following describes the kinds 
of sounds that might be new to you and what may be causing them. 

 

Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or 
the water line. Items stored on top of the ice cube machine can 
also make noises. 

 

The high-efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or 
high-pitched sound. 

 

Running water may make a splashing sound. 

 

You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the 
condenser fan. 

 

During the Harvest cycle, you may hear the sound of ice cubes 
falling into the ice storage bin. 

Preparing the Ice Cube Machine for Long Storage 

If the ice cube machine will not be used for a long time, or it is to be moved to 
another place, it will be necessary to drain the system of water. 

1.

 

Press the STANDBY button, the drain pump work, the water in the water 
tank and the water line will be drain out.   

2.

 

Shut off the water supply at the main water source. 

3.

 

Disconnect the water supply line from the water inlet. 

4.

 

Shut off the power supply at the main electrical power source. 

5.

 

Take out the ice storage bin to remove ice. (See page21-26), dry and 
replace the bin. 

6.

 

Leave the door open to allow for circulation and to prevent mold and 
mildew. 

7.

 

Leave the water supply line and power cord disconnected until ready to 
reuse. 

IMPORTANT: 

• 

Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet.

 

Never unplug the unit 

by pulling on the cord.
