Electrical Connection
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. The power cord of this appliance is
equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug that mates with a standard 3-prong grounding wall outlet to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from the appliance. Have the wall outlet and circuit
checked by a qualied electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard
2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The ice maker should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage
rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading boat wiring circuits which could cause a re hazard from overheated wires.
Never unplug your ice maker by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug rmly and pull
straight out from the outlet. Repair or replace immediately all power cords that have become frayed
or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at
either end. When moving the ice maker, be careful not to damage the power cord.

For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power
supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into a mating 3-pronged and grounding-type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with
the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is not avail-
able, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong wall recep-
tacle installed by a qualied electrician.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3- prong outlet.
Never remove the ground prong from the plug.
Never use an adapter.
Never use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in re, electrical shock
or death
INSTALLATION
•Units are designed to operate between 50 F (10 C) and 100 F(38 C). High ambient temperat-
ures (100 F 38 C or higher) may reduce Ice production rate. For best performance, keep the
unit out of direct sunlight and away from heat generating equipment.

OPERATION
1. Have all packing materials and tape been removed from the interior and exterior of the ice
maker?
2. Did you clean the ice storage bin?
3. Have the installation instructions been followed, including connecting the machine to wat-
er and electricity?
4. Has the machine been leveled?
5. Is icemaker in location where ambient temperature is higher than 100 F 38 C (see page 6)?
6. Has the water supply pressure been checked to ensure a minimum of 20 psig(0.14MPa) with
a static pressure not to exceed 120 psig(0.82MPa)?
7. Is there a clearance of at least 3/4" (2cm) at the rear?
8. Has the power supply voltage been checked or tested against the nameplate rating? And
has proper grounding been installed in the ice maker?
9. Is the ice maker plugged in?
10. Have you turned on the main water supply and tap?
11. Have you checked for leaks at all water supply connections?
Operating method
The ice maker’s on-off switch is just beneath the door. A unit begins to produce ice within 60 minutes
after start-up. Ice production stops automatically when the bucket is full enough to interfere with the
wire shut-off arm. The unit should not be turned “off” with the door closed and ice or water inside.
NOTES:
1. Due to fast freezing, ice cubes may appear “cloudy”. This is trapped air in the water and does
not affect the taste or quality of the ice.
2. “Hollow” ice cubes may result from fast-freezing under certain climatic conditions such as
high humidity, etc. and is not an indication of a problem with the icemaker.
IMPORTANT:
• Although the unit has been tested and cleaned at the factory, due to long-term transit and stor-
age, the rst batch of cubes must be discarded.
• Never turn the water supply tap off when the ice maker is working.
• Never touch evaporator when unit is running!
• Except to take ice from the unit, keep the door closed to reduce melting and insure proper ice
formation.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efciency, top performance, and long life. The
maintenance intervals listed are based on normal conditions. You may want to shorten the intervals if
you have pets, or there are other special considerations.
• Periodically vacuum dust and dirt from the condenser, locate behind the grille at the bottom
front of the unit.
• Regularly inspect plumbing connections to insure that no leaks are present.
What shouldn’t be done:
Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is not ice: objects like wine and beer bottles are not
sanitary.
IMPORTANT:
• Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet.
• Never unplug the unit by pulling on the cord. Grasp the plug and pull out rmly.

Exterior cleaning
The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water solution such as 1 oz.(28g)
of dishwashing liquid mixed with 2 gallons()()( of warm water. Do not use solvent-based or abrasive
cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft clean towel to prevent water
spotting.(()
If the door panel is stainless steel, stainless steel can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas and
moisture. Clean stainless steel with a mild detergent and warm water solution and a damp cloth.
Never use an abrasive cleaning agent.
Interior cleaning
When necessary, defrost and thoroughly clean the inside of the unit with mild soap and water. Do not
use electrical heating devices, sharp or pointed tools when defrosting.
When defrosting or leaving open the unit turned off, prop and leave the door open using door prop.
This allows air to dry the inside of the cabinet, reducing the chance
for mildew and damage to the mold mechanism’s components.
Winterizing
WARNING: Disconnect power at source before working on the unit.
Do not winterize this unit with ANY type of anti-freeze; damage to
the mold coating will occur, invalidating product’s Limited War-
ranty and creating potential health hazard.
1. Shut off the water supply to the unit.
2. Disconnect water supply connector behind front grille at
solenoid valve. Remove white plastic tubing and nut from
bottom of solenoid valve.
3. Turn power on. Allow unit to run for an hour. Remove any
cubes that may have been ejected during this period. Turn
off power and prop door open to allow the inside to defrost.
After it has defrosted, wipe it dry and leave door open using
door prop.
Recommissioning
Connect water supply lines, turn on water, check for leaks, then restore power to the unit. After initial
cool down of 45-60 minutes, the unit will cycle approximately every 40 minutes.
Start-up
Turn on water, check for leaks and then turn on power. Turn on switch(located just below the door).
Fan and compressor will normally turn on immediately, resulting in air circulation through the grille
and a faint hum from the compressor. If machine was shut off while in ice harvesting cycle, it will
have to complete the cycle before compressor and fan turn on(approximately 5 minutes). Interior tem-
perature will drop below freezing. First harvest of ice should occur within 60 minutes of start-up. After
lines are purged of air, normal harvesting and relling occur every 40 minutes or less, under normal
conditions.
Condenser cleaning
A dirty or clogged condenser prevents proper airow, reduces ice
making capacity, and causes higher than recommended operating
temperatures that may lead to component failure. Have the con-
denser cleaned at least once every six months.
1. Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power.
2. Remove the 4 screws on the front cover and gently pull it off.
3. Remove dirt and lint from the condenser and the unit compart-
ment with the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner.
4. Reassemble the front cover.
5. Plug in the ice maker or reconnect power.
