OPERATION
INITIAL START-UP OPERATION
1. The unit must be properly installed by a licensed plumber.
2. Make sure the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.
3. Plug the appliance into an 115v polarized and grounded wall electrical GFI outlet.
4. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
5. Make sure the water supply is on. As soon as the inner mechanism reaches the proper temperature,
the ice maker will begin to fi ll with water.
6. The fi rst cubes may be small due to air in the water line. Later cubes will be of standard crescent
moon shape and size.
7. The approximate time for the fi rst cycle is between 30-40 minutes.
8. 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 making function may be temporarily stopped by raising the metal
arm to an upright position (see Fig. 4-1).
• If the ice maker is not used regularly, we recommend that the ice bucket
be emptied periodically to ensure 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 airfl ow.
• 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.
