OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE FIRST USE
For best results, follow these steps before using your ice maker for the rst time.
1. Remove all packaging materials, such as plastic bags and foam inserts. Check to
ensure that all parts and accessories are included before throwing out packaging.
2. Read and remove any stickers on the ice maker except for the rating label, which
should remain on the unit.
3. Clean the unit’s exterior, reservoir, ice basket, and scoop, following the directions
in Cleaning and Maintenance on p. 16.
4. Place the ice maker on a level surface away from direct sunlight and other heat
sources. Keep at least 6 inches of clearance on all sides of the unit to ensure
proper ventilation. NOTE: If using the unit outdoors, be cautious of weather and
extreme temperatures (ideal ambient temperature is between about 50°F/10°C
and 90°F/32°C), as these can affect the ice-making process or damage the unit.
5. IMPORTANT: Wait 2 hours for the refrigerant uid to settle before plugging the
unit in for the rst time.
6. Before making ice for the rst time, prime the ice maker by running the self-
cleaning function (see Cleaning and Maintenance on p. 17).
