WARNING
• Use two or more people to move and install ice maker. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
• Never install or operate the unit behind closed doors. To ensure proper venlaon for your ice maker, the
front of the unit must be completely unobstructed. Choose a well-venlated area with temperatures above
50°F (10°C) and below 100°F (38°C). This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the elements, such
as wind, rain, water spray or drips.
• The ice maker should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.
• The ice maker must be installed with all electrical and water connecons in accordance with state and local
codes. A standard electrical supply, properly grounded in accordance with the Naonal Electrical Code and local
codes and ordinances, is required.
• Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the ice maker and cabinet.
• The fuse (or circuit breaker) size is rated at 15 amperes.
• It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to work properly. Otherwise water may not ow properly
through the evaporator (ice mold). The ice producon will be less than normal. You may need to make several
adjustments to level it.
• All installaons must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
• Make certain that hoses are not pinched, kinked or damaged during installaon.
• Check for leaks aer water line is connected.
• Although the unit has been tested and cleaned at the factory, due to long-term transit and storage, the rst
batch of cubes must be discarded.
• Remove the packing materials and clean the ice maker before using.
• Turn on the water supply tap before switching on the ice maker. Never turn the water supply tap o when the
ice maker is working.
• Except to take ice from the unit, keep the door closed in order to reduce ice melng and to promote proper ice
formaon.
• If the ice maker will not be used for a long me, before the next use it must be thoroughly cleaned. Follow
carefully, instrucons provided for cleaning. Do not leave any sanizing soluon inside the ice maker aer
cleaning. DO NOT use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleaners may transmit
taste to the ice cubes, or damage or discolor the interior. The ice machine cleaner contains acids. Do not use
or mix with any other solvent-based cleaners products. Use rubber gloves to protect hands. Carefully read the
safety instrucons on the container of the ice machine cleaner.
• Do not use the apparatus other than for its intended purpose.
• Do not touch the condenser ns, they are sharp and can be easily damaged.
Electrical Connecon
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 obligaon to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The ice maker should always be plugged into its own dedicated electrical outlet which has
a voltage rang that matches the rang label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house 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

WARNING
Normal operang ambient temperature should be between 50°F (10°C) to 100°F (38°C).
Normal operang water temperature should be between 41°F (5°C) and 90°F (32°C).
Operaon of the ice maker for extended periods outside of these
normal temperature ranges may aect producon capacity.
• It is strongly recommended that a water lter be used. A lter, if it is of the proper type, can remove taste and
odors as well as parcles. Some water is very hard, and soened water may result in white, mushy cubes that
sck together. Deionized water is not recommended.
•
The ice maker must be installed with all electrical and water connecons in accordance with all state and local codes.
• The unit should be located on a rm and level surface. It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to
work properly. If needed, you can adjust the height of the ice maker by revolving the caster. See the “Leveling

Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
IMPORTANT: Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the icemaker and wall or cabinet.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
DANGER
Electrical Shock Hazzard
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 instrucons can result in re, electrical shock or death.
It is important to make sure you have the proper electrical connecon:
A standard electrical supply, properly grounded in accordance with the Naonal Electrical Code and local codes
and ordinances, is required. The ice maker should always be plugged into its own dedicated electrical outlet.
It is
recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your ice maker, be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned o by a
switch or pull chain. The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes.
Recommended Grounding Method
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 mang 3-pronged
and grounding-type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the Naonal Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances. If a mang wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to have a properly
grounded, 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualied electrician.
Leveling The Ice Maker
It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to work properly. Otherwise water
will not ow properly through the evaporator (ice mold). The ice producon will be less
than normal, and may be noisy. If you nd that the surface is not level, rotate the casters
unl the ice maker becomes level. You may need to make several adjustments to level it.
We recommend using a carpenter’s level to check the machine.
1. Place a carpenter’s level on top of the unit to see if the ice maker is level from front
to back and side to side .
2. Adjust the height of the casters as follows:
Turn the leveling casters to the right to lower that side of the ice maker.
Tur n the leveling casters to the le to raise that side of the ice maker.
You will nd that the casters make it easy for one person to move the machine. This is useful for cleaning and sanizing
the surface on which the ice maker is installed because it allows you to move the unit and have easy access to the
surface to be cleaned.

WATER SUPPLY
The water supply should be ready at the point of installaon. The water supply pressure should be a minimum of 15 psig
with a stac pressure not more than 80 psig. (A wall outlet directly behind the ice machine will make installaon easier.)
NOTE:
All installaons must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
Professional installaon is recommended. Make certain the hoses are not pinched, kinked or damaged
during installaon. Check for leaks aer connecon.
Tools Required
½" open-end wrench, Phillips screwdriver
Connecng The Water Line
1. Turn o main water supply. Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.
2. Find a ½" to ¾" vercal cold water pipe near the installaon locaon. The distance should be less than 9 feet.
The water supply hose provided with the ice maker is about 9 feet long.
3. A shut-o valve must be installed to the main water supply. If the water pipe has a plain piece of copper
tubing, aach a ¼" O.D. compression union to the tubing and remove the nut.
4. Connect the nut of the water supply hose to the tap, and connect the other end with the water inlet. Tighten
rmly by hand, then one-half turn with wrench.

7
5. Turn on the main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connecon leaks. Tighten every connecon
(including connecon at the water inlet).
NOTE: When you connect the water supply hose and the drain hose, pay aenon to the
indicaons of “Water inlet” and “Drain outlet” on the machine.
DRAIN
You must connect the drain line before using the ice maker. Follow the steps outlined below.
Connecng The Drain Line
NOTE: If there is a drain line near the ice maker, the best choice to drain water to the drain line, is through
the drain water hose provided with ice maker.
1. Locate the oor drain near the ice maker. The distance should be less than 5 feet since the length of the long
drain water hose provided with the ice maker is about 5 feet.
2. Find the drain outlet on the back of ice maker, take o the rear drainage plug. Connect the nut of the drain
outlet to the water draining hose, insert the other end of the hose into the drain line.
NOTE: Never allow the drain hose to hang or loop higher than the oor of the ice storage bin.
3. All horizontal runs of drain lines must have a fall of ¼" per foot. An air gap will likely be required between the
ice maker drain tube and the drain/waste receptacle. A stand pipe with a trap below it would be acceptable
for the drain/waste receptacle. A oor drain is also acceptable. If this is not possible, Maxx Ice recommends
the use of a condensate pump. Available at local hardware stores.
4. Pour 1 gallon of water into the ice storage bin to check for leaks at all drain connecons and at the nut of the
drain water hole. Tighten any connecons or nuts that leak.
NOTE: This ice maker is not a freezer. Hot temperatures will cause a high rate of melng in the ice
storage bin. Ice will drain over me. A drain is required.
INSTALLATION TYPES
This ice maker has been designed for Mobile (free-standing) installaon. However, it can also be Enclosed (under a
cabinet) or Built-in (sealed to the oor). In every case, there must be adequate air space around the unit for venlaon.
Mobile Installaon
A mobile installaon will allow you to install the ice maker free-standing in any place you desire provided you have access
to a water supply, proper electrical, a drain and you’ve leveled the machine.
Enclosed Installaon
An enclosed installaon will allow you to install the ice maker under a cabinet provided the required clearance space
around the ice maker is respected, and you have access to a water supply, proper electrical, a drain and you’ve leveled
the machine.
Built-in installaon
If this method of installaon is chosen, it will sll be necessary to allow adequate venlaon space around the unit.
The following addional items must be observed.
1. Place ice maker in front of installaon locaon. Remove the feet and place the unit at on the oor or on a
plaorm depending on your installaon requirements.
2. The water supply line must be plumbed before connecng to the ice maker.
3. The drain line must be connected. If you do not have a oor drain, you will require a condensaon pump.
4. Turn on main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connecon leaks.
Tighten every connecon (including connecon at the water inlet).
5. If the electrical outlet for the ice maker is behind the cabinet, plug in the ice maker.
6. Push the ice maker into posion.
7. Seal all around the cabinet to the oor with an approved caulking compound.
NOTE: Be sure the drain hose is connected and fed into the drain line before the ice maker is
moved into its nal posion.

1. Turn on the water tap, let the water trough ll, then press the ON/OFF buon on the front panel. The ice
maker will start working automacally.
Ice Making Stage Ice Harvest Stage Bin Full Stage
2. Aer 3 minutes, the machine will automacally go to the ice-making stage, and the sound of water owing
will be heard.
3. When the batch of ice has been fully formed, ice will automacally be harvested to the ice storage bin.
4. When the ice storage bin is full, the sheet of cubes will not fall completely and will hold the bin-full probe
open. The machine stops making ice automacally.
5. The unit will start making ice again aer the ice cubes are removed. Then the bin-full probe swings back to
operang posion.
NOTE:
• Although the unit has been tested and cleaned at the factory, due to long-term transit
and storage, the rst batch of cubes must be discarded.
• Never turn the water supply tap o 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 melng and insure
proper ice formaon.

How The Machine Makes Ice
Set the ON/OFF buon to the ON posion. The machine will automacally go to the ice making stage.
There are two disnct cycles: ice freeze and harvest.
1. The freeze cycle happens when water ows to the evaporator surface.
2. The harvest cycle is when the ice is released and water enters the machine.
20 Minutes: A complete cycle takes about 20 minutes, but it depends on temperature and operang condions.
Freeze: During the freeze cycle the compressor is pumping refrigerant, the fan motor is blowing air, and the water pump
is circulang water. When the batch of ice has been fully formed, the ice maker stops the freeze cycle and harvest cycle
begins.
Harvest: During the harvest cycle the compressor is sll operang, but the water pump has stopped. The hot gas valve
opens, diverng hot refrigerant gas into the evaporator. The hot refrigerant gas warms the evaporator, causing the cubes
to slide as a unit o the evaporator and into the storage bin. The freeze cycle will restart when all the cubes have been
harvested.
How The Machine Uses The Water
The ice maker begins with a xed charge of water that is contained in the water trough. As the water ows to the freezing
evaporator surface, the poron of water that does not contain mineral impuries freezes and scks to the ice cube molds.
The water containing impuries falls back into the water trough. During the ice making process, fresh water enters into the
water trough connuously as the water in trough freezes connuously in the evaporator.

Normal Sounds
Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the
oor and walls can make the sounds louder than they actually are. The following list describes the sounds that might be new to
you and what may be causing them.
• Raling noises may come from the ow of the refrigerant or the water line. Item stored
on top of the ice maker can also make noises.
• The high eciency compressor may make a pulsang or high-pitched sound.
• Water running may make a splashing sound.
• You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
• During the harvest cycle, you may hear the sound of ice cubes falling into the ice storage bin.

Preparing The Ice Maker For Long Storage
If the ice maker will not be used for a long me, or is to be moved to another place, it will be necessary to drain the
system of water.
1. Shut o the water supply at the main water source.
2. Disconnect the water supply line from the water inlet.
3. Shut o the electric supply at the main electrical power source.
4. Take out the ice storage bin to remove any remaining ice and water. Dry the bin.
5. Pull o the drainage tube of the water trough to drain o all water.
6. Leave the door open to allow for circulaon and to prevent mold and mildew.
7. Leave water supply line and power cord disconnected unl ready to reuse.
NOTE: 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.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
If the ice maker is le unused for a long me, before the next use it must be thoroughly cleaned.
Follow carefully any instrucons provided for cleaning or use of sanizing soluons.
Do not leave any soluon inside the ice maker aer cleaning.
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure eciency, top performance, and long life. The maintenance
intervals listed are based on normal condions. You may want to shorten the intervals if you have pets, or if there are
other special consideraons.
What Shouldn’t Be Done?
Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is not ice: objects like wine and beer boles are not only unsanitary,
but the labels may slip o and plug up the drain.
What Parts Should Be Kept Clean?
1. The exterior
2. The interior
3. The condenser
4. Water distribuon tube
5. The ice-making system
WARNING
Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operaons, make sure
the power line of the unit is disconnected and the water line is shut o.
Exterior Cleaning
The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water soluon such as 1 oz. of dishwashing liquid
mixed with 2 gallons of warm water. Do not use solvent-based or abrasive cleaners. Use a so sponge and rinse with
clean water. Wipe with a so clean towel to prevent water spong.
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 soluon and a damp cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaning agent.
Interior Cleaning
The ice storage bin should be sanized occasionally. Clean the water trough before the ice maker is used rst me and
reused aer stopping for an extended period of me. It is usually convenient to sanize the trough aer the ice making
system has been cleaned, and the ice storage bin is empty.

1. Disconnect the power to the unit.
2. Open the door and take out the removable ice storage bin. With a clean cloth, wipe down the interior of unit
and ice bin with a sanizing soluon made of 1 ounce of household bleach or chlorine and 2 gallons of hot
(95˚F – 115˚F) water.
3. Rinse thoroughly with clear water.
4. Screw o the drainage nut to drain completely.
5. Put the ice storage bin inside the unit.
6. Reconnect power to the unit.
The ice scoop should be washed regularly. Wash it just like any other food container.
WARNING
DO NOT use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior.
These cleaners may transmit taste to the ice cubes and damage or discolor the interior.
Condenser Cleaning
A dirty or clogged condenser prevents proper airow, reduces ice making capacity, and causes higher than recommended
operang temperatures that may lead to component failure. Have the condenser cleaned at least once every six months.
1. Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power.
2. Gently pull o the lower front louver.
3. Remove dirt and lint from the condenser and the unit
compartment with the brush aachment of a vacuum cleaner.
4. Reassemble the lower front louver.
5. Plug in the ice maker or reconnect power.
Water Distribuon Tube Cleaning
When you nd the ice cubes are incompletely formed or the output is low, the water distribuon tube may be blocked.
Turn o the power buon, gently take out the water distribuon tube, locate the holes in the distribuon tube and use a
pointed object such as a toothpick to dredge the holes. Then put the water distribuon tube back to its original posion.
If the tube is badly blocked, clean it as follows:
1. Shut o the water supply.
2. Disconnect the water hose from the distribuon tube.
3. Gently take out the distribuon tube.
4. With a brush, clean the tube with a dilute soluon of warm water and a mild detergent such as dishwashing
liquid. Aer removing the dirt and lint from the surface, rinse the tube with clean water.
5. Replace the distribuon tube.
6. Reconnect the water supply.
Ice-Making System Cleaning And Sanizing
Minerals that are removed from the water during the freezing cycle will eventually form a hard, scaly deposit in the
water system. Cleaning the system regularly helps remove the mineral scale buildup. How oen to clean the system
depends upon how hard your water is or how eecve your ltraon may be. With hard water of 15 to 20 grains/gal.
(4 to 5 grains/liter), you may need to clean the system as oen as once every 6 months.
1. Make sure that all the ice is o the evaporator. If ice is being formed, wait unl the cycle is completed, then
press the machine’s ON/OFF switch on the control panel.
2. Remove all ice from the storage bin.
3. Keep the ice maker connected to the water supply. Pour 8 oz. of Nickel-Safe Ice Maker Cleaner Soluon into
the water trough. Then press the ON/OFF switch and the CLEAN buon, iniang the wash cycle. The machine
will run in the Automac Clean Mode.

4. Allow 30 minutes for proper cleaning. Aer cleaning, press the ON/OFF switch again. Use a drain hose on the
front of the water trough to drain o the waste water to a convenient container. Don’t drain o the waste
water to the inside of the cabinet.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 (without Ice Maker Cleaning Soluon) three mes to rinse the ice making system
thoroughly.
6. Next, prepare a sanizing soluon made of 1 ounce of household bleach and 2 gallons of hot water (95˚ to 115˚F).
Fill a spray bole with the sanizing soluon and spray all corners and edges, making sure to cover all surfaces
with the soluon. Wipe the enre bin inside and outside, covering the enre surface of the walls. Allow the
soluon to be in contact for at least 3 minutes, then dry.
7. Repeat steps 1 to 5 with the sanizing soluon of step 6 (bleach and water). Filling the water through to its
maximum level.
8. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to rinse the ice making system one more me.
9.
Press the ON/OFF buon again. The machine will return to the regular ice making mode. Discard the rst batch
of ice.
WARNING
The ice machine cleaner contains acids.
DO NOT use or mix with any other solvent-based cleaner products. Use rubber gloves to protect hands.
Carefully read the material safety instrucons on the container of the ice machine cleaner.
Discard the rst batch of ice produced aer cleaning.
