This ice dispensing bin is not intended for outdoor use. Normal operating
ambient temperature should be within +45°F to +100°F. To the icemaker,
water temperature should be within +45°F to +90°F.
Extended periods of operation at temperatures outside of these limitations
may cause unsatisfactory results.
For best operating results:
•Icedispensingbinshouldnotbe located next to ovens, grills orotherhighheatproducing
equipment.
• Location should provide a firm and level foundation for the equipment.
• Always avoid a site where dripping is not allowed.
• Allow 6" clearance at rear and sides for ease of maintenance and/or service should they
be required. More space is needed especially on the left side of the dispensing bin to
service the drive system.
CAUTIONCAUTION

CAUTION
The icemaker will not work in sub-freezing temperatures. To prevent
damage to the water supply line, always drain the icemaker when air
temperature is 32°F or below.

1) Exterior Panels
To prevent corrosion, wipe occasionally with a clean, soft cloth. Use a damp cloth
containing a neutral cleaner to wipe off oil or dirt build up.
2) In view of the simple design of this ice dispensing bin, and the limited operating time, very
little maintenance is required.
Inspect and oil the chain (2 or 3 drops) annually. Adjust as necessary for 3/8" to 1/2" free
play.
