Grounding Instructions
WARNING:
• Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock causing
serious injury, even death.
• This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current.
• This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug and must be connected into a properly grounded polarized outlet.
Consult a qualied electrician if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
If the wall outlet is a standard 2 prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
• Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord plug.
• Do not use an adapter plug with this appliance.
• Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short,
have a qualied electrician install an electrical outlet near the appliance.
IMPORTANT: The electrical wires in the main power cord are colored coordinated in
accordance with the following code:
• Green or Green with Yellow Stripe = Ground
• White = Neutral (N)
• Black = Live (L)

Setting-up Your Ice Maker
1. Remove the exterior and interior packaging materials. Check the ice basket, ice
basket bafe and ice cube scoop are included with the unit. If any parts are missing,
please contact our customer service department. 1-866-253-0447 or support@
greenwayhp.com
2. Select a location for your ice maker that is protected from direct sunlight and other
sources of heat (i.e. stove, furnace, radiator). Place the ice maker on a solid level
surface. A minimum clearance of 2” is required between the back and sides of
your ice maker and any adjacent walls.
3. Allow one hour for refrigerant (cooling) uids to settle before connecting
(operating) your ice maker.
4. The appliance must be positioned for easy access to an electrical outlet.
5. This appliance requires a standard 120volt, 60Hz three-prong (grounded) electrical
outlet.
6. This ice maker is not designed for “direct plumbing” installation and must be
manually lled.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Before using your ice maker it is strongly recommended to clean it thoroughly.
1. The exterior cabinet of the ice maker should be cleaned using a mild detergent
solution and warm water.
2. Remove the ice basket and bafe, wash and rinse with lukewarm water only. (Not
dishwasher safe) Thoroughly clean and rinse the interior of the cabinet with
lukewarm water and a soft cloth.
3. Drain out any remaining water by positioning the unit next to a sink, remove the
drain cap and plug located on the left side of the cabinet. Replace the drain cap and
plug when the unit is empty.
6

4. Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
5. When the machine is not being used for long time periods, drain water completely
from water reservoir.
6. Like most appliances, your ice maker requires periodic maintenance for maximum
efciency and performance and must be cleaned on a regular basis. (i.e. every
4 months) To maintain a hygienic environment within your ice maker and prevent
potential formation (growth) of bacteria, we strongly recommend regular cleaning
of your ice maker using a Cleaning Kit. These kits are available through our
customer Service Department at 1-866-253-0447 or can be ordered on line at
www.greenwayhp.com
Operating Instructions
1. Connect the ice maker to a standard 120Volt, 60Hz three-prong (grounded)
electrical outlet. The green indicator light (above the power on/off button) will start
ashing indicating the unit is in “standby” mode.
2. Open the lid cover and remove the ice basket and ice basket bafe.
3. Add water to the “MAX” ll line indicated on the rear wall of the reservoir
compartment. (Do not overll)
4. Install (slide) the ice basket bafe onto the top rear side of the ice basket making
sure the notched side of the bafe is positioned on the right side of the basket.
(sensor side) To promote maximum ice storage capacity, we recommend the ice
basket bafe always be installed when the ice maker is operational.
5. Reinstall the ice basket into the storage compartment.
6. Press the power “A” (on/off) button, the “green” indicator light will change from
a ashing (standby) condition to a steady state (on) condition, indicating the unit is
now operational.
7. Press the selector “B” button to select between the 3 desired ice cube sizes. (small,
medium, large) The corresponding (green) light will illuminate directly above the
selection made.
8. While the ice maker is operational, periodically check the reservoir water level. If
the water reservoir is empty, the pump cannot inject water and the ice maker will
stop automatically causing the “Add Water” (D) indicator light to illuminate. Fill
the reservoir to the “MAX” ll water level and re-start the machine by pressing the
“power” (on/off) button again. Failure to re-start the machine will result in
continuous “standby” mode.
7

9. Wait at least 3 minutes before attempting to re-start the unit if the compressor cycle
has been interrupted .
10. The ice maker automatically stops working when the ice basket is full and the ice
full (red) indicator light illuminates. The ice maker re-starts automatically when the
ice cube level drops and the (ice bucket full) indicator light turns off.
