OPERATING YOUR ICE MAKER
Initial Start-Up Operation
1. Plug the appliance into a 115/120V AC polarized and grounded wall electrical outlet.
2. Place the ON-OFF switch in the ON position.
3. Make sure the water supply is on. As soon as the inner mechanism reaches the proper temperature,
the icemaker mechanism will fill the mold with water.
4. The first cubes may be small because of air in the water line. Later cubes will be of standard crescent-
moon shape.
5. Approximate time for the first cycle is between 30-40 minutes.
6. Each cycle will take approximately 0.15 quarts of water so the ice bin should be full after 11 hours.

• When the ice bin is full, the ice-making mechanism will automatically shut off.
However the system will continue to cool and maintain the cubes supply.
• Ice delivery may be interrupted by raising the metal arm into an upright position
(see sketch 2)
• If the ice maker is not used regularly, it is recommended that the ice bin be
emptied periodically to insure fresh ice.
• Sometimes the cubes may appear cloudy. This should not be a cause for concern and has nothing to
do with the taste or chemical make-up of the water.
• The front grill should be kept free of dust and lint to permit free airflow.
• This unit should be defrosted approximately every 4-6 weeks or when frost on the ice maker walls is
excessive or ¼” thick. To defrost, turn the unit off, remove cubes and keep door open at least two
inches.
