AUTOMATIC ICE CUBE MAKER
Use and Care Guide

Size of Ice Cubes
The ice maker will make ice cubes approximately V2 thick with the ice thickness control knob set at
normal . If you prefer them a little thinner or thicker, adjust the ice thickness cycle control
counterclockwise for thinner cubes or clockwise for thicker cubes.
No defrosting needed
Unlike most refrigeration systems, your ice maker will n v r have to be defrosted.
Shut Down of Ice Maker
It is not necessary to turn your ice maker off if the ice machine is not to be used for a 3 to 4 week
period. The switch in the ice bin automatically shuts the unit off whenever the bin is fuH of ice. If you.r
ice maker is to be shut off for several months then the ice should be removed from the bin and the Unit
should be cleaned and sanitized. Cleaning and sanitizing instructions are on the back of the inside door
cover. Arrange to have the water line disconnected, and the water removed from the water pan and
drain line. Unplug the machine or disconnect the electricity to the machine.

AUTOMATIC ICE MAKER
MAKING ICE
Water continuously circulates over a freezing plate. As the water
freezes into ice, minerals in the water are constantly being rejected
and a clear sheet of ice is formed.
The ice maker will make the ice sheet approximately V2 thick with
the ice thickness control (left control knob) set at normal .
Adjustment of the thickness control will cause the machine to make
thinner or thicker sheets of ice.
When the desired ice thickness is reached the ice sheet
automatically slides onto a cutter grid where it is divided into
individual cubelets.
At the end of each freezing cycle, the water containing the rejected
minerals is discharged to the drain. Fresh water then enters the
machine for the next ice making cycle.

maker turns off automatically, then starts up again when the ice
supply needs replenishing.

Things to Remember
• Water enters only during the defrost cycle. Therefore the first cycle will be completed without water
in the system.
• As the room and water temperatures vary, so will the amount of ice produced. This means that high
operating temperatures will result in reduced ice production .
• The unit will shut off when ice in the storage bin touches the bin thermostat well and will
automatically cycle to keep the bin full.
• The storage bin is not refrigerated and some meltage will occur. This, too, varies with the room
temperature.
Oiling
All components of the ice maker are lubricated at the factory and should not require any additional
oiling for the normal life of the machine.
Filtering and Treating Water
n some areas it may be beneficial to filter or treat the water being supplied to the ice machine to
reduce water system maintenance (cleaning and removal of scale deposits) and to produce the best
type of ice.
For information on filtering and treating the water see your local plumber or Authorized Service
Agency.
Light Replacement
To replace the light bulb (G.E. #912, 12.8V) remove the grid cover at top of ice bin by removing thumb
screws. Bulb is located behind grid cover. Replace bulb and grid cover.
Cleaning Exterior Surfaces
Cabinets may be cleaned simply by wiping with a damp cloth.
Door Gasket
The vinyl gasket strip around the inside of the door keeps the door sealed. Wash it regularly with a
solution of warm water and detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Toe Space Plate
Do not block the toe space plate at bottom of unit. Obstruction of airflow could result in malfunction. t
is recommended this toe plate be vacuumed periodically.
