Setting up your ice maker
Before using your ice maker
• Remove the exterior and interior packing.
• Remove all tape and take out the accessories from the unit. If any parts are
missing, contact customer service.
• Clean your ice maker (see Cleaning and maintaining your ice maker on page
10), then run two or three cycles of ice and dispose of them to remove any
plastic odor or residue from the manufacturing and shipping process.
Finding a suitable location
• Your ice maker is designed to be free standing only, and should not be
recessed or built-in.
• Place your ice maker on a counter top that is strong enough to support it
when it is fully loaded.
• Allow six inches (15 cm) of space between the back and sides of your ice
maker and any surrounding walls to allow for proper air ventilation.
• Place your ice maker away from direct sunlight and sources of heat, such as a
stove, heater, or radiator. Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and
heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extremely cold
temperatures may also prevent your ice maker from performing properly.
Providing a proper power supply
This appliance requires a standard 110-120 Volt, 60 Hz electrical outlet with good
grounding means.
12 Error code indicator E- Indicates an ice making problem or a refrigerant leak.
E1 - Indicates that the ambient temperature sensor is bad.
E2 - Indicates that the water temperature sensor is bad.

WARNINGS: Before plugging in your ice maker, wait four hours for the refrigerant fluid to
settle.
WARNINGS: Improper use of the grounded plug can result in the risk of electrical
shock. If the power cord is damaged please call our customer service.
#ICONBUTTON/DISPLAYDESCRIPTION

This unit should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this
appliance is equipped with a grounding plug which mates with standard
grounding wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electric shock.
Using your ice maker
Making ice
1Open the water reservoir lid and fill the reservoir with drinking water. Keep the
water level below the maximum FULL level.
Notes:
• Your ice maker should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet
which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
• Never unplug your ice maker by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug
firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
• Do not, under any circumstances, damage the grounding prong of the plug. Any
questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified
electrician.
CAUTIONS:
• Fill the reservoir with drinking water only.
• Change water in the water reservoir every 24 hours to make sure that it is fresh. If the
unit isn’t to be used for an extended period, drain the water and dry the water
reservoir.
• Do not pour water into the internal water tank under the ice basket, as this will
negatively affect the performance of your ice maker.
Tips:
To improve ice clarity:
• Try using distilled or purified water in your ice maker
• Make sure that you are running the ice maker auto clean cycle frequently
Note: When there is no more water in the top water reservoir, the water tank symbol
lights.

water tank symbol turns on.
5When the ice making symbol blinks, the cycle is over.
6To make additional ice cubes, leave your ice maker on and refill the top water
reservoir. When the water float in the bottom tank detects a full tank, the
water tank symbol turns off and the next ice making cycle begins.
OR
Press the (ON/OFF) button to turn your ice maker off.
Changing the thickness of the ice cubes
• Press the + or - buttons prior to the ice making cycle to increase or decrease
the ice making time in one minute increments. More time for thicker ice cubes,
and less time for thinner.
Notes:
• The ice making cycle lasts between 13 and 25 minutes, depending on the ambient
temperature.
• The first time you make ice, depending on the initial water temperature, ice-making
time will be a little longer. In a very hot room, ice-making time may vary, but will not
exceed 35 minutes.
• To stop the ice making process at any time, press and hold the (ON/OFF) button for
more than five seconds to cause the ice tray to eject the ice cubes.
