THERMOSTAT CALIBRATIONS
If ice maker is installed above two thousand feet of
altitude, the bin and evaporator thermostats must
be adjusted to a warmer setting. Disconnect
electricity, remove thermostat and follow the
directions for turning the altitude adjustment
screw as shown in the label on each thermostat.
SHIPBOARD OPERATION
When this ice cube maker is installed aboard a ship,
it will be necessary to purchase and install a water
deflector. This deflector hangs between the lower
edge of the evaporator and the cutter grid. It keeps
the water flowing over the evaporator from spilling
into the storage bin area. Order the necessary parts
from your local ice maker dealer.

NOTE:
Always purge the water line before making the final
connection to the inlet of the water valve to prevent
possible water valve malfunction.
After the cabinet is in place, bend the tubing to meet
the connection at the water valve. The garden hose
threaded compression fitting is found in the parts
bag. This joint provides a convenient disconnect for
service. Be sure the tubing is clear of compressor, to
prevent rattle.
CONNECT THE DRAIN
(observe local codes)
1 Th e unrt IS provrded with a gravity drain
2 The ideal installation has a standpipe (1’14”
mrnimum) installed directly below the outlet of the
drawn tube. Refer lo Figure 5 for the proper location
of the standpipe.
3 It may be desirable to insulate drain line thoroughly
up to drain Inlet.
CONDENSATE PUMP
1. When drain connection below the level of the unit is
not available a condensate pump may be used to lift
the water to an available drain.
2. Install condensate pump on floor behind ice maker with
discharge tube to the rear. Run bin drain directly into
pump as shown in Figure 5A.
3. Run power cord thru hole into unit compartment (See
Figure 5A)
4. Remove lower grille assembly. (See Figure 5B)
5. Remove shunt from receptable and plug in condensate
pump. (See Figure 5C)
NOTE:
Do not discard shunt that is removed from
receptable. This must be replaced if unit is to be
operated without condensate pump.

FOR THE ELECTRICIAN
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 Amp fused electrical supply is
required (time delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended).
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only this
appliance, be provided. DO NOT use an extension cord.
ELECTRICAL GROUND IS REOUIRED ON THIS
APPLIANCE.
RECOMMENDED
GROUNDING MtrnOD
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE
THE POWER SUPPLY CORD GROUND PRONG.
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.prong grounding
type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordrnances. If a mating
wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility
and obligation of the customer to have a properly grounded
3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
See Figure 6.

GROUNDING MtrnOD
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE
THE POWER SUPPLY CORD GROUND PRONG.
If changing and properly grounding the wall recepta-
cle IS impossible and where local codes permit

(consult your electrical inspector), a temporary
adapter may be plugged into the existing 2-prong wall
receptacle to mate wrth the Z&prong power supply
cord. See Figure 7. THIS, HOWEVER, IS NOT RE-
COMMENDED.
If this is done, you must connect the grounding eyelet on the
adapter to the wall receptacle cover plate screw and from this
same screw, you must connect a separate copper ground wire
(No. 4 minimum) to a grounded cold water pipe’. See Figure
7. Do not ground to a gas supply pipe Do not connect to
electrical supply until appliance is permanently grounded.

THINGS TO
REMEMBER
0 Water enters only during the defrost cycle. There-
fore the first cycle will be completed without
water in the system.
0 As the room and water temperatures vary, so will
the amount of ice produced. This means that
higher operating temperatures will result in re-
duced ice production.
0 The unit will shut off when ice in the storage bin
touches the bin thermostat well and will auto-
matically cycle to keep the bin full.
0 The storage bin is not refngerated and some
meltage will occur. This, too, varies with the room
temperature.
0 The unit needs good air circulation to perform
efficiently. Keep the front grill and the condenser
clean.
0 The water system, including filter screen in the
water inlet solenoid valve, needs to be cleaned
periodically for good circulation. Instructions are
located on the inner door panel.
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
0 For complete operating information, refer to the
Use and Care Guide.
0 Before starting, wash out interior of cabinet with a
Baking Soda solution (2 tablespoons soda to a
quart of warm water). Rinse thoroughly.
0 Make certain the water is turned on
0 Turn switch to the “ON” position.
IMPORTANT:
Allow unit to run for 3 hours before expecting ice and
for 24 hours before trying to set the thickness
control.
If installed above 2,000 feet altitude, see page 2 for
thermostat adjustments.
UNIT WIRING DIAGRAM
This model operates at 115 volts except for the cutter
grid circuit which operates at 8.5 volts at 1 amp.
The compressor runs at all times except when the bin
thermostat becomes satisfied and opens up. This de-
energizes the system except for the transformer, cutter
grid and bin light.
Under normal operating conditions, when the
evaporator reaches the preset temperature (+ loo to
-3OF, depending on thickness of ice) the evaporator
thermostat opens, teminating operation of the fan motor
and pump motor. The hot gas solenoid and the water
valve solenoid are energized at this time and remain
so until the evaporator reach 38 + 2OF.
