Installation
• Choose a well ventilated area with temperatures above 50ºF and below 100ºF. This unit MUST be installed
in an area protected from the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.
• Ice maker should not be located next to ovens, grills or other high heat resources.
• Installation of the ice maker requires a cold water supply inlet of 3/4”. soft copper tubing with a shut-off
valve and a gravity-drain system.
• The ice maker requires a continuous water supply with a minimum pressure of 15psi and a static pressure
not to exceed 80psi. The temperature of the water feeding into the ice maker should be between 41ºF and
90ºF for proper operation.
• In general, it is always a good idea to lter the water. A water lter, if it is of the proper type, can remove
taste and odors as well as particles. Where water is very hard, softened water may result in white, mushy
cubes that stick together. Deionized water is not recommend.
• The ice maker must be installed with all electrical, water and drain connections 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.
• The plug must be accessible after installation.
• A standard electrical supply (115VAC, 60Hz, 15A), properly grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, required.
IMPORTANT: Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the ice maker and wall.
LEVELING THE ICE MAKER
It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to work properly. It can be raised or lowered by rotating
the plastic sheaths around each of the four rolling casters on the bottom of the machine. If you nd that the
surface is not level, rotate the casters until 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. You will nd that the
casters make it easy for one person to move the machine. This is useful for cleaning and sanitizing 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 AND DRAIN CONNECTION
The water supply and drain should be roughed in and ready at the point of installation. A wall outlet directly
behind the ice machine will make installation easier.
IMPORTANT:
1. All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
2. Make certain that the pipes are not pinched or kinked or damaged during installation.
3. Check for leaks after connection.
Tools required:
• Open-end wrenches.
• Phillips screwdriver.
Connecting the water line:
1. Find a 1/2 in. to 3/4 in. vertical cold water pipe near the installation location. The distance should be less
than 6 feet. The water supply pipe provided with the ice maker is about 6 feet.
2. A shut-off valve must be installed to the main water supply.
3. Connect the water supply pipe to the tap, the other end connect with the water inlet valve tight. Tightly with
hand.
4. Turn on main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connections leaks. Tighten any connections
(including connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
Connecting the drain line:
A gravity drain system is used in this type ice maker, drain water to the drain line through the provided drain
water pipe with ice maker.
1. Find the oor drain near the ice maker. The distance should be less than 5 feet as the length of the long
drain water pipe provided with the ice maker is about 5 feet.
2. Find the drain outlet on the back of ice maker. Connect one end of the long drain pipe to the drain out let of
the machine, the other end to the oor drain.

15
HOW THE MACHINE MAKES ICE
There are two distinct cycles: freeze and harvest. The freeze cycle happens when water is ow to the
evaporator surface. The harvest cycle is when the ice is released and water enters the machine. A complete
cycle takes about 20 minutes.
Freeze: During the freeze cycle the compressor is pumping refrigerant, the fan motor is blowing air, and the
water pump is circulating water. When the evaporator surface gets setting temperature, the ice maker will stop
the freeze cycle and begin the harvest.
Harvest: During the harvest cycle the compressor is still operating, but the water pump have stopped. The hot
gas valve have been energized; The valve open and warm up the freezing surface, allowing the cubes to fall
into the bin. The freeze cycle will restart.
HOW ADJUST THE SIZE OF ICE CUBES
1. Press and hold the “Adjust” button for at least 3 seconds. The unit
will enter the Ice Size Adjustment mode. The “ICE Making” LED
(green) will be blinking continuously during the ice size adjustment.
Release the button when the LED blinks continuously to adjust the
ice size.
2. While in the Ice Size Adjustment mode, press the “Clean” button or
the “Mode” button for the desired ice size.
Smaller ice setting:
By pressing the “Clean” button, you can decrease the size of the ice
cubes. The “ICE FULL” LED (red) will ash as you lower the ice size
and will nally be blinking at the setting of smallest ice size.
Larger ice setting:
By pressing the “Mode” button, you can increase the size of the ice
cubes. The “ICE HARVEST” LED (yellow) will ash as the larger size is
set and will blink when the setting of largest ice size has been reached.
After 10 seconds without any operation, the unit will automatically memorize the current state and return to the
previous mode.
NOTE:
• If during the ice size adjustment mode the “ICE FULL”, “ICE MAKING” and “ICE HARVEST” LEDS blink all
at once, this indicates that the unit is in the regular (middle) setting of the ice size.
• When the machine is in the cleaning stage or ice full stage, the ice size adjustment mode cannot be
accessed.

HOW THE MACHINE USES THE WATER
The ice maker begins with a xed charge of water that is
contained in the water bin. As the water is ow to the freezing
evaporator surface, the part of water that does not contain mineral
impurities will freeze and stick to the ice cube molds. The water
containing impurities falls back into the water bin. Gradually,
during the freezing portion of the ice making cycle, the water in the
water bin will become highly concentrated with mineral impurities.
During the ice making process, fresh water enter into the water
trough continuously as the water in water trough is freeze
continuously 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, walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes
the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them.
• You will hear a swooshing sound when the water valve opens to ll the water bin for each cycle.
• Ratting noises may come from the ow of the refrigerant or the water line, Items stored on top of the ice
maker can also make noises.
• The high efciency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
• Water running from the water bin to the evaporator plate may make a splashing sound.
• Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a splashing sound.
• As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant owing in your ice maker.
• You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
• During the harvest cycle, you may hear the of ice cubes falling into the ice storing bin.
• When your rst start the ice maker, you may hear water running continuously. The ice maker is
programmed to run a rinse cycle before it begins to make ice.
PREPARING THE ICE MAKER FOR LONG STORAGE
If the ice maker is not used for a long time, or is to be moved to another place, it will be necessary to drain the
system of water.
1. Shut off the water supply at the main water source.
2. Disconnect the water supply line from the water inlet valve.
3. Disconnect the drain pipe with the drain line of oor drain.
4. Allow the ice maker to run for an hour or more until all remaining ice cubes have been ejected from the ice
maker assembly.
5. Shut off the electric supply at main electrical power source.
6. Screw off the nut of the water drain hole at the back of the machine, drain out water residue completely.
(Do not loosen or screw off the nut at other times), then tighten the nut after nishing.
7. Drop the door open to allow for circulation and prevent mold and mildew.
8. Leave water supply line and power cord disconnected until ready to reuse.

17
Maintenance
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efciency, top performance, and long life. The
maintenance intervals listed are based on normal conditions. You may want to shorten the intervals if you have
pets, the unit is used outdoors, or other special considerations.
What shouldn’t be done
Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is notice: objects like wine or beer bottles are not only
unsanitary, but the labels may slip off and plug up the drain.
What should be kept clean
There are 4 things to keep clean:
1. The exterior.
2. The condenser.
3. The interior.
4. Water distribution tube.
EXTERIOR CLEANING
The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water solution such as 1 ounce of dish
washing liquid mixed with 2 gallons of warm water. Do not use solvent based or abrasive cleaners. Use a
soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft clean towel to prevent water spotting. Stainless steel
models can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas and should be cleaned. Clean stainless steel models with a
mild detergent and warm water solution and a damp cloth. Never use abrasive cleaning agents.
NOTICE: Stainless steel models exposed to chlorine gas and moisture, such as areas with spas or swimming
pools, may have some discoloration of the stainless steel. Discoloration from chlorine gas is normal.
If the icemaker is left unused for a long time, before the
next use it must be thoroughly cleaned. Follow carefully
any instructions provided for cleaning or use of sanitizing
solution. Do not leave any solution inside the icemaker
after cleaning.
Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance
operations, make sure the power line of the unit is
disconnected and the water line is shut off (EXCEPTION:
icemaker system’s cleaning)

18
DO NOT touch the condenser fins. The condenser fins are sharp and
can be easily damaged.
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.
Maintenance
CONDENSER CLEANING
A dirty or clogged condenser prevents proper airow, reduces ice making capacity, and causes higher than
recommended operating temperatures that may lead to component failure. Have the condenser cleaned at
least once every three mouths.
1. Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power.
2. Remove the 3 screws at the bottom of the front cover. Grasp the lower edge of the front cover at the right
and left sides, raise it a little then pull down.
Note: Do not use too much force, as the wire leads connected to the power switch can be
inadvertently disconnected.
3. Locate the condenser surface. Remove dirt and lint from the condenser ns and the unit compartment with
a brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner.
4. Reassembly the front cover.
5. Plug in the ice maker or reconnect power.
INTERIOR CLEANING
The ice storage bin should be sanitized occasionally. Clean the bin before the ice maker is used rst time and
reused after stopping some period. It is usually convenient to sanitize the bin after the ice making system has
been cleaned, and the storage bin is empty.
1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Open the door and with a clean cloth, wipe down the interior with a sanitizing solution made of 1 ounce of
household bleach or chlorine and 2 gallons of hot water (95ºF to 115 ºF).
3. Rinse thoroughly with clear water. The waste water will be drained off through the drain pipe.
4. Reconnect power to the unit.
The ice scoop should be washed regularly, wash it just like any other food container.

19
Maintenance
WATER DISTRIBUTION TUBE CLEANING
When you nd that the ice cubes are incompletely formed or the output of ice cubes is low, the water
distribution tube may be blocked. Set the power switch to OFF. Unscrew the six screws holding the top panel
and remove the panel. You will see the water distribution tube. Rotate the water distribution tube so that the
holes in it are facing up. Using a toothpick or similar tool, dredge the holes, then rotate the water distribution
tube back to its original position. If the tube is badly blocked, clean it as follows:
1. Shut off the water and power supplies.
2. Disconnect the water hose from the distribution tube.
3. Lift one side, remove the distribution tube.
4. With a brush, clean the tube with a dilute solution of warm water and a mild detergent such as dish washing
liquid. After removing the dirt and lint from the surface, rinse the tube with clean water.
5. Replace the distribution tube.
6. Reconnect the water supply and power supply lines.
7. Re-attach the top panel.
ICE-MAKING SYSTEM CLEANING
Minerals that are removed from 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 often you need to
clean the system depends on how hard your water is or how effective your ltration may be. With hard water of
15 to 20 grains/ gallon (4 to 5 grains/liter), you may need to clean the system as often as every 3 months.
1. Set the power switch to OFF.
2. Remove all ice cubes from the storage bin.
3. Remove the screws in the front cover, push forward to remove the front cover. Locate the control box.
4. Keep the ice maker connected to the water supply. Pour 8 oz. of Nickel-Safe Ice Maker Cleaner Solution
into the water tank.
5. Turn the power switch ON. Within 3 minutes, press the CLEAN button. The machine will run the Automatic
Clean mode. The green Ice Making and the yellow Ice harvest LEDs will blink.
6. The cleaning cycle will continue for 30 minutes unless you press the power switch (you can press the
power switch to stop the cleaning cycle any time during the 30 minutes). After cleaning, the green Ice
Making and yellow Ice Harvest LEDs go on steady and the machine returns to Stand-by mode.
7. The dirty water must be drained out completely. Perform steps 2 and 3 in the Interior Cleaning section.
8. Repeat steps 4 to 6 above three times to rinse the ice-making system completely.
NOTE: Do not add Ice Maker Cleaner Solution to the water trough during the rinses.
9. Reassemble the front cover.
10. If you want to make ice cubes after cleaning, turn off the power switch, drain off the waste water, then turn
on the power switch. The next ice-making cycle will begin.
