INSTALLATION
BEFOREUSINGYOUR ICE MAKER
•REMOVE THE EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR PACKAGING MATERIAL.
•CHECK TO BE SURE YOU HAVE ALLOF THE FOLLOWING PARTS:
•1 ICE BUCKET
•1 ICE SCOOP
•2 HOLE PLUGS
•1 QUICK FITTING [for connecting water supply]
•1 INSTRUCTION MANUAL
•BEFORE CONNECTING THE ICE MAKER TO THE POWER SOURCE, LET IT STAND UPRIGHT FOR
APPROXIMATELY 4 HOURS. THIS WILL REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF A MALFUNCTION IN THE
COOLING SYSTEM FROM HANDLING DURING TRANSPORTATION.
•CLEAN THE INTERIOR SURFACE WITH LUKEWARM WATER USINGA SOFT CLOTH.
INSTALLINGTHE HANDLE
This appliance includes a stainless steel handle. To install the handle please follow the below
instructions:
1. Lift up the door gasket, take off the two mounting hole plugs, no tools are necessary.
2. Align the handle with the screws installed. Tighten the screws using a Phillips head screwdriver
until the handle sets both flush and secured tightly against the door frame.(DO NOT over-tighten as
this will cause damage to the handle assembly).
3. Re-install the two plugs back into the mounting hole behind the door gasket.
4. If you choose not to use the handle supplied, simply follow step 1 to access the installation screws
and remove them and then place the two decorative plugs into the two holes separately.

INSTALLATION THE ICE MAKER
•THE APPLICANCE SHALL NOT EXPOSED TO RAIN EVEN FOR THE MODELWITH IPX4.
•THISAPPLIANCE IS DESIGNED TO VENT HOT AIR THROUGH THE FRONT VENT. THISALLOWS FOR
INSTALLATION IN A RECESSED OR BUILT-IN APPLICATION, IF DESIRED.
•PLACE YOUR ICE MAKER ON A LEVEL SURFACE THAT IS
STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE ICE MAKER WHEN IT IS
FULLY LOADED. REMEMBER THAT THE UNIT WILL BE
SIGNIFICANTLY HEAVIER ONCE IT IS OPERATIONAL AND
FULLY LOADED. LEVELYOUR ICE MAKER BYADJUSTING THE
LEGS AT THE FRONT OF THE ICE MAKER.
•LOCATE THE ICE MAKER AWAY FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT
AND SOURCES OF HEAT (STOVE, HEATER, RADIATOR, ETC.).
DIRECT SUNLIGHT MAY AFFECT THE FINISH AND HEAT
SOURCES MAY INCREASE ELECTRICAL CONSUMPTION. EXTREME COLD AMBIENT TEMPERATURES
MAY ALSO CAUSE THE ICE MAKER MALFUNCTION. THIS ICE MAKER IS DESIGNED FOR
INSTALLATION INDOORS IN “ROOM TEMPERATURE” AMBIENT CONDITIONS OR OUTDOORS IN
COVERED AREAS NOT EXPOSED TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT
OR RAIN (OUTDOOR MODEL ONLY).
•POSITION UNIT TOALLOW FREEAIRFLOW THROUGH
THE FRONT GRILLE , AVOID LOCATING THE ICE
MAKER IN MOIST/HUMID AREAS. TOO MUCH
MOISTURE IN THE AIR WILL CAUSE FROST TO FORM
QUICKLY ON THE EVAPORATOR REQUIRING
FREQUENT DEFROSTING.
•PLUGTHE ICE MAKER INTOAN EXCLUSIVE PROPERLY INSTALLED GROUNDED WALL OUTLET. DO
NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE
POWER CORD. ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNING POWER AND/OR GROUNDING SHOULD BE DIRECTED
TOWARD A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
•The product is designed and
manufactured for seamless integration
in the specified cutout opening shown,
which requires precise measurements.
The opening must be square and
plumb front to back. Although not
required, you may choose to increase
the overall cutout width for ease of
installation.

•DO NOT USEA TWO-PRONG GROUNDING ADAPTER.
•IFYOU ONLYHAVEATWO-PRONG WALLRECEPTACLE, CONTACTA QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN TO
HAVEIT REPLACED WITH A 3-PRONG RECEPTACLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE ELECTRICAL
CODES.
•THIS ICE MAKER REQUIRESA STANDARD 115 VOLTSA.C. 60HZ ELECTRICAL OUTLET WITH THREE-
PRONG GROUND.
•THE CORD SHOULD BE SECURED BEHIND THE ICE MAKER AND NOT LEFT EXPOSED OR LOOSE
EXTENSION CORD
BECAUSE OF POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARDS, THISAPPLIANCE IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE WITH
AN EXTENSION CORD. HOWEVER, IF YOU MUST USE AN EXTENSION CORD, USE ONLYA
UL/CUL-LISTED, 3-WIRE GROUNDING TYPE APPLIANCE EXTENSION CORD WITH A GROUNDING TYPE
PLUGAND OUTLET. THE ELECTRICAL RATING OF THE CORD MUST BE 115 VOLTS AND AT LEAST 10
AMPS.
CONNECTINGTHE WATER SUPPLY
WARNING: Connect to potable water supply only.
ALLTHE NECESSARY HARDWARE IS NOT PROVIDED (AS THE PLUMBING FIXTURES AT THE
INSTALLATION POINT MAY DIFFER) FOR INSTALLATION SO IT IS NECESSARY TO HIRE A
PROFESSIONAL LICENSED PLUMBER TO COMPLETE THE INSTALLATION.
•CONNECT THE WATER SUPPLY TUBE TO THE NEAREST COLD WATER SOURCE. CONNECT SUFFICIENT
TUBING TO THE UNIT TO ALLOW THE APPLIANCE TO BE MOVED FREELY FOR CLEANING AND
SERVICE. ALSO MAKE SURE THAT THE TUBING IS NOT PINCHED OR DAMAGED DURING
TRANSPORTATION/INSTALLATION.

OPERATING
INITIAL START-UP OPERATION
1. PLUG THE APPLIANCE INTO A 115/120V POLARIZED AND GROUNDED WALL
ELECTRICAL OUTLET.
2. PLACE THE ON-OFF SWITCH IN THE “I” POSITION.
3. MAKE SURE THE WATER SUPPLY IS ON. AS SOON AS THE INNER MECHANISM
REACHES THE PROPER TEMPERATURE, THE ICEMAKER MECHANISM WILL FILL
THE MOLD WITH WATER.
4. THE FIRST CUBES MAY BE SMALL BECAUSE OF AIR IN THE WATER LINE.
LATER CUBES WILL BE OF STANDARD CRESCENT TYPE SIZE.
5. APPROXIMATE TIME FOR THE FIRST CYCLE IS BETWEEN 30-40 MINUTES.
6. EACH CYCLE APPROXIMATELY WILL TAKE 5 OZS OF WATER SO YOU SHOULD HAVE A FULL TRAY,
AFTER 11 HOURS.
IMPORTANT: THROW AWAYALL ICE CUBES MADE DURING THE FIRST 3 HOURS OF OPERATION.
•WHEN THE ICE BUCKET IS FULL, THE ICE MAKING MECHANISM WILLAUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF.
WHEN ICE CUBES ARE MELTED, THE ICE MAKING MECHANISM WILL START AGAIN .
•ICE DELIVERY MAY BE INTERRUPTED BY RAISING THE METALARM INTO AN UPRIGHT POSITION
•IF THE ICEMAKER IS NOT USED REGULARLY, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE ICE BUCKET BE
EMPTIED PERIODICALLY TO ENSURE FRESH ICE.
•SOMETIMES THE CUBES MAY APPEAR CLOUDY. THIS IS DUE TO THE RAPID FREEZING OF THE ICE
CUBE. THIS IS TRAPPED AIR IN THE WATER AND DOES NOT AFFECT THE TASTE AND QUALITY OF THE
ICE.
•THE FRONT GRILLE SHOULD BE KEPT FREE OF DUST AND LINT TOALLOW FREE AIRFLOW.
Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance!
IMPORTANT: THIS UNIT SHOULD BE DEFROSTED APPROXIMATELY EVERY 4-6 WEEKS OR WHEN
FROST ON THE ICE MAKER WALLS IS EXCESSIVE OR ¼” THICK. IF THE AMBIENT
TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 100℉ (38℃), DEFROSTING SHOULD BE MORE OFEN OR THE ICE
PRODUCTION WILL BE AFFECTED.TO DEFROST, TURN THE UNIT OFF, REMOVE CUBES AND
KEEP DOOR OPEN AT LEAST TWO INCHES.
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING YOUR ICEMAKER

BEEN EJECTED AND ALL WATER HAS CYCLED THROUGH THE SYSTEM AND HAS BEEN MADE
INTO ICE CUBES.
5. DISCONNECT THE UNIT FROM THE MAIN POWER SOURCE.
6. DRY OUT EXCESS WATER FROM THE ICE MAKER ASSEMBLY
7. LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN AT LEAST TWO INCHES.
MOVING YOUR ICE MAKER
•SECURELY TAPE DOWN ALL LOOSE ITEMS INSIDE YOUR ICE MAKER.
