This appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. This is a safety
feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock. Using an extension cord is not
recommended with this appliance. The plug should be attached to the appliance
before connecting to an electrical outlet. It is recommended that an electrical out-
let serving ONLY this appliance be used. This outlet must be properly installed and
grounded. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical
instructions, contact a qualied electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in
any way. Montgomery Ward cannot accept any liability for damage or injury
resulting from failure to observe these safety procedures.

Before First Use How to Operate
1. The incline angle of the ice maker should not exceed 45˚ during
transportation or use. Do not turn the ice maker upside down. Doing so
could cause the compressor or refrigerating system to malfunction.
2. After it is moved or transported, please allow 2 hours for the ice maker to
rest in place so uids in the compressor can settle.
3. Ensure the ice maker is level and on a stable table or platform. The surface
must be dry with sufcient ventilation, far from heat sources such as
ovens, heaters and corrosive gases. Leave an 8-inch clearance on all sides
of the ice maker for proper ventilation.
4. Allow the unit to come to room temperature before operating.
5. Wipe down the interior of the ice machine with a damp cloth and allow to air
dry.
6. Do not ll the water reservoir with hot water. This may damage the
ice maker. It is best to ll the water reservoir with water of room
temperature or lower.
7. When rst turning on the unit or during ice-making cycles, the compressor
will stay idle for 3 minutes, while energizing.
8. We recommend that you discard the rst batch of ice.
1. Ensure the drain plug underneath the front of the unit is closed and the
water tube screen (at the bottom of the water reservoir) is in place.
2. Plug the ice maker into an outlet and the green power indicator light will
blink (approximately every 5 seconds).
3. Open the cover and remove the ice basket.
4. Fill the water reservoir. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE MAX WATER LEVEL
MARK AT THE BACK OF THE WATER RESERVOIR.
5. Replace the ice basket and close the cover.
6. Press the power button and the green indicator light will remain on. To
change between either the small or large ice size, press the select button
until the light is lit up beside the desired ice size.
7. The rst ice cycle will last approximately 8–13 minutes, depending on
the ice size selected. The ice-making cycle starts with water being
pumped into the water tray below the evaporator ngers. Ice will form
on the evaporator ngers. When ice is ready, the ice tray will tilt
backward and the remaining water in the ice tray will drain back into the
reservoir. The ice will be dropped from the evaporator ngers and
pushed forward into the ice basket by the ice shovel. The ice tray will
automatically move back into position under the evaporator ngers and
start the next cycle.
8. ICE FULL will light up when the ice basket is full and the ice maker will
stop the ice-making cycle automatically. Remove the ice from the basket
with the scoop. Wait 3 minutes, then press POWER to restart the ice-
making function.
WARNING: To avoid burns, DO NOT touch the evaporator ngers
when the ice maker is making ice.
9. The ADD WATER light will light up when there is no more water in
the reservoir and the cycle will stop automatically. Press POWER once
(the power button will ash every 5 seconds). Remove the basket and
add water to the reservoir. DO NOT ll above the MAX water level mark.
Replace the ice basket and close the cover. Wait 3 minutes then press
POWER to restart the ice-making function.
Note: When you have nished making ice, transfer the ice to a freezer.
The ice will last in the ice maker for up to 18 hours, depending on
room temperature.
Note: To keep your ice fresh, change the water in the reservoir every
24 hours. When not in use, drain the water from the ice maker.

9. The ADD WATER light will light up when there is no more water in
the reservoir and the cycle will stop automatically. Press POWER once
(the power button will ash every 5 seconds). Remove the basket and
add water to the reservoir. DO NOT ll above the MAX water level mark.

POWER to restart the ice-making function.
1. Stop the ice maker by pressing POWER (the POWER light will go out).
Unplug the ice maker from the outlet and allow the unit to warm up to
room temperature.
2. If the water tray is not in the vertical position behind the evaporator
ngers, gently push the water tray back so that all water drains into
the water reservoir.
3. Open the drain plug to drain out excess water.
4. Remove the basket. Wash the ice basket and scoop in warm soapy
water, rinse and dry.
5. Remove the water tube screen (at the bottom of the reservoir) and
rinse under running water.
6. Clean the inside of the reservoir with a soft cloth dampened with
warm water and vinegar. Rinse with a clean damp cloth.
7. Replace the drain plug and the water tube screen.
8. Clean the exterior of the ice maker with a soft damp cloth. Use a mild
dishwashing soap, if necessary.
9. DO NOT CLEAN THE EVAPORATOR FINGERS.
10. Do not immerse any electrical appliance, its cord, or its plug, into
water.
11. Ensure all parts are dried thoroughly before reassembling and using
this appliance.
12. When the ice maker is not in use, or is being stored, ensure the
reservoir is completely dry to keep mold from forming. Store with the
drain plug open.
Problem Cause Solution
There is no indication on
the control panel.
Disconnection of plug. Check that the plug is
plugged into the electrical
outlet.
ICE FULL and ADD WA-
TER indicators light up
simultaneously.
Electrical power surge
or there may be air in
the lines or the lines are
blocked. The water tank
cannot detect water level.
Turn off the ice maker,
pull out the drain plug,
ll reservoir with water if
needed, replace the plug
and then restart the unit.
OR
Inspect relative parts;
remove the drain plug and
drain out a small amount
of water. Replace the
drain plug and attempt to
use the unit again.
OR
Check if ice is blocking
the ice shovel. Turn off the
unit; let the ice melt and
restart.
The unit does not oper-
ate.
Power is not being sup-
plied to the unit. The
ambient temperature or
the water temperature is
too high
Plug the unit into a
standard 110/120 Volt, 60
Hertz power source. Run
the ice maker in tempera-
tures below 90°F and/or
pour colder water into the
water reservoir.
Ice blockage. No ice is
being made.
Making ice takes too much
time.
Turn off the machine. Start
the machine after the ice
block melts.
OR change the size selec-
tor to small ice cubes.
The ice-making cycle
seems normal, but no ice
is produced.
There is refrigerant leak-
age. A pipe in the cooling
system is blocked.
