ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
EXTENSION CORD
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal
safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong grounding plug that mates with a standard 3-prong grounding wall outlet to minimize the possibility
of electric shock hazard from the appliance. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your
responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. The ice maker
should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the
rating label on the appliance. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring
circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires. Never unplug your ice maker by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet. Repair or replace immediately all
power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion
damage along its length or at either end. When moving the ice maker, be careful not to damage the power cord.

WARNING
• This ice maker should be properly installed by qualified personnel.
• To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed.
• When installing the ice maker under a counter, follow the recommended spacing dimensions shown. Allow
at least 4” (102 mm) of clearance at rear, and 1” (25 mm) at sides for proper air circulation. The installation
should allow the ice maker to be pulled forward for servicing if necessary.
• Choose a well ventilated area with temperatures above 45°F (7°C) and below 110°F (43°C).
• Placing the unit at least 24 from high heat sources (fireplaces, grills, ovens, etc.) will ensure minimal energy
consumption.
• Installation of the ice maker requires a cold water supply inlet of ¼-in. (6.35mm) soft copper tubing with a
shut-o valve.
• The ice maker requires a continuous water supply with a minimum pressure of 15 psig and a static pressure
not to exceed 80 psig. The temperature of the water feeding into the ice maker should be between 41°F
(5°C) and 90°F (32°C) for proper operation.
• It is strongly recommended that a water filter be used. A filter, if it is of the proper type, can remove taste
and odors as well as particles. Some water is very hard, and softened water may result in white, mushy
cubes that stick together. Deionized water is not recommended.
• The ice maker must be installed with electrical and water connections in accordance with all state and local
codes.
• The unit should be located on a firm and level surface. It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order
to work properly. If needed, you can adjust the height of the ice maker by revolving the caster. See the
Leveling the Ice Maker section.
• A standard electrical supply (115V AC only, 60Hz, 15A), properly grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
IMPORTANT: Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the icemaker and wall or cabinet.
Normal operating ambient temperature should be between 45°F (7°C) to 110°F (43°C). Normal operating
water temperature should be between 41°F (5°C) and 90°F (32°C). Operation of the ice maker for
extended periods outside of these normal temperature ranges may aect production capacity.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
Before you move your ice maker into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper
electrical connection:
A standard electrical supply (115V AC only, 60Hz, 15A), properly grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required. The ice maker should always be plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet. It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your ice maker, be
provided. Use a receptacle that cannot be turned o by a switch or pull chain.
The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes.
For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power supply
cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged
into a mating 3-pronged and grounding-type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the
personal responsibility of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong wall receptacle installed by
a qualified electrician.

TO REMOVE DOOR FROM HINGES:
TO REPLACE DOOR ON HINGES:
REVERSING THE DOOR SWING
It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in
order to work properly. Otherwise water will not
flow properly through the evaporator (ice mold). The
ice production will be less than normal, and may be
noisy. The unit 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 find
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.
1. Remove top hinge cover by pushing it toward the back of the unit, then lifting it off.
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws, then remove the top hinge mat and top hinge. Keep the
parts together and set them aside.
3. Lift the door off of the bottom hinge and set the door aside.
1. Using a flathead screwdriver, remove the plug buttons from the screw holes opposite the door hinges,
top and bottom. Set aside.
2. Remove the front louver. Set aside.
3. Remove the bottom hinge and place it on the opposite side at the bottom of the door.
4. Position the door on the bottom hinge.
5. Align the door on the bottom hinge and replace the top hinge and top hinge mat.
6. Replace top hinge cover by pressing it down over the hinge mat and then pushing it forward.
7. Push the plug buttons into the original screw holes.
See Figure below.
Tools needed: flathead screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver
1. Place a carpenter’s level on top of the unit to see if the ice maker is level from front to back and side to side.
2. Adjust the height of the casters as follows:
Turn the leveling casters to the right to lower that side of the ice maker.
Turn the leveling casters to the left to raise that side of the ice maker.
You will find 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.
IMPORTANT: When the ice maker is ready to be installed in a cabinet or directly on the floor, you must
adjust the feet to level the ice maker and lock the rollers. If the floor is level, just revolve the two front
feet to touch the floor.
IMPORTANT: Before you begin, unplug the ice maker or disconnect power.

ICE MAKER INSTALLATION ICE MAKER INSTALLATION
CONNECTING THE WATER LINE:
CONNECTING THE DRAIN LINE:
WATER SUPPLY DRAIN
1. Turn off main water supply. Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.
2. Find a ½-in. to ¾-in. vertical cold water pipe near the installation location. The distance should be less
than 9 feet. The water supply hose provided with the ice maker is about 9 feet long.
3. A shut-off valve must be installed to the main water supply. If the water pipe has a plain piece of copper
tubing, attach a ¼” O.D. compression union to the tubing and remove the nut.
4. Connect the nut of the water supply hose to the tap, and connect the other end with the water inlet.
Tighten firmly by hand, then one-half turn with wrench.
5. Turn on main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connection leaks. Tighten every connection
(including connection at the water inlet).
1. Locate the floor drain near the ice maker. The distance should be less than 5 feet since the length of the
long drain water hose provided with the ice maker is about 5 feet.
2. Find the drain outlet on the back of ice maker. Connect the drain outlet to the water draining hose, and
insert the other end of the hose into the drain line.
NOTE: Never allow the drain hose to hang or loop higher than the floor of the ice storage bin.
3. All horizontal runs of drain lines must have a fall of ¼” per foot. An air gap will likely be required
between the ice maker drain tube and the drain/waste receptacle. A standpipe with a trap below
it would be acceptable for the drain/waste receptacle. A floor drain is also acceptable. If this is not
possible, the use of a condensate pump is recommended.
4. Pour 1 gallon of water into the ice storage bin to check for leaks in the drainage system. Tighten any
connections that leak.
The water supply should be ready at the point of installation. The water supply pressure should be a
minimum of 15 psig with a static pressure not more than 80 psig. (A wall outlet directly behind the ice
machine will make installation easier.)
You must connect the drain line before using the ice maker. (The Dual Drainage feature of earlier models
has been modified to simplify the drainage procedure.) Follow the steps outlined below.
NOTE: If there is a drain line near the ice maker, the best choice is to drain water to the drain line
through the drain water hose provided with ice maker.
Tools needed: ½-in. open-end wrench, Phillips screwdriver
IMPORTANT:
1. All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
Professional installation is recommended.
2. Make certain the hoses are not pinched or kinked or damaged during installation.
3. Check for leaks after connection.
IMPORTANT:
This ice maker is not a freezer.
Infrequent drainage will cause a high rate of melting in the ice storage bin.
IMPORTANT:
When you connect the water supply hose and the drain hose, pay attention to the indications of “Water
inlet” and “Drain outlet” on the machine.

A mobile installation will allow you to install the ice maker free-standing in any place you desire provided
you have access to a water supply. You must follow the stated instructions for:
a. Electrical requirements
b. Water supply
c. Leveling the ice maker.
An enclosed installation will allow you to install the ice maker under a cabinet or in a kitchen cabinet
provided the required clearance space around the ice maker is respected. This installation has the same
requirements as a mobile installation.
If this method of installation is chosen, it will still be necessary to allow adequate ventilation space around
the unit. The following additional items must be observed.
1. Place ice maker in front of installation location. Remove the feet and place the unit flat on the floor or on
a platform depending on your installation requirements.
2. The water supply line must be plumbed before connecting to the ice maker.

10. Have you turned on the main water supply and tap?
11. Have you checked for leaks at all water supply connections?
1. Turn on the water tap, let the water trough fill, then press the ON/OFF button on the front panel. The ice
maker will start working automatically.
2. After 3 minutes, the machine will automatically go to the ice-making stage, and the sound of water
flowing will be heard.
3. When the batch of ice has been fully formed, ice will automatically be harvested to the ice storage bin.
4. When the ice storage bin is full, the sheet of cubes will not fall completely and will hold the bin-full probe
open. The machine stops making ice automatically.
5. The unit will start making ice again after the ice cubes are removed. Then the bin-full probe swings back
to operating position.
This ice maker has been designed for Mobile (free-standing) installation. However, it can also be Enclosed
(as under a cabinet) or Built-in (sealed to the floor). In any case, there must be adequate air space around
the unit for ventilation.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure the drain hose is connected and fed into the drain line before the ice maker
is moved into its final position.
IMPORTANT:
• Although the unit has been tested and cleaned at the factory, due to long-term transit and storage, the
first batch of cubes must be discarded.
• Never turn the water supply tap off when the ice maker is working.
• Never touch evaporator when unit is running!
• Except to take ice from the unit, keep the door closed to reduce melting and insure proper ice
formation.

OPERATION OPERATION
HOW THE MACHINE MAKES ICE
NORMAL SOUNDS
PREPARING THE ICE MAKER FOR LONG STORAGE
HOW THE MACHINE USES THE WATER
Set the ON/OFF button to the ON position. The machine will automatically go to the ice making stage.
There are two distinct cycles: ice freeze and harvest.
The freeze cycle happens when water flows 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, but it depends on
temperature and operating conditions.
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 batch of ice has been fully formed, the ice maker stops the
freeze cycle and the harvest cycle begins.
Harvest: During the harvest cycle the compressor is still operating, but the water pump has stopped. The
hot gas valve opens, diverting hot refrigerant gas into the evaporator. The hot refrigerant gas warms the
evaporator, causing the cubes to slide as a unit off the evaporator and into the storage bin. The freeze
cycle will restart when all the cubes have been harvested.
Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new sounds are normal.
Hard surfaces like the floor and walls can make the sounds louder than they actually are. The following list
describes the sounds that might be new to you and what may be causing them.
• Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on top of the
ice maker can also make noises.
• The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
• Water running may make a splashing sound.
• You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
• During the harvest cycle, you may hear the sound of ice cubes falling into the ice storage bin.
If the ice maker will not be 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.
3. Shut off the electric supply at the main electrical power source.
4. Take out the ice storage bin to remove any remaining ice and water. Dry the bin.
5. Pull off the drainage tube of the water trough to drain off all water.
6. Leave the door open to allow for circulation and to prevent mold and mildew.
7. Leave water supply line and power cord disconnected until ready to reuse.
The ice maker begins with a fixed charge of water that is contained in the water trough. As the water flows
to the freezing evaporator surface, the portion of water that does not contain mineral impurities freezes
and sticks to the ice cube molds. The water containing impurities falls back into the water trough. During
the ice making process, fresh water enters into the water trough continuously as the water in the trough
freezes continuously in the evaporator.

WHAT SHOULDN’T BE DONE
EXTERIOR CLEANING
INTERIOR CLEANING
WHAT PARTS SHOULD BE KEPT CLEAN
Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is not ice: objects like wine and beer bottles are not only
unsanitary, but the labels may slip off and plug up the drain.
The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water solution such as 1 oz. of
dishwashing 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 can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas and moisture. Clean stainless steel with a mild detergent
and warm water solution and a damp cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaning agent.
The ice storage bin should be sanitized occasionally. Clean the water trough before the ice maker is used
first time and reused after stopping for an extended period of time. It is usually convenient to sanitize the
trough after the ice making system has been cleaned, and the ice storage bin is empty.
1. Disconnect the power to the unit.
2. Open the door and take out the removable ice storage bin. With a clean cloth, wipe down the interior of
unit and ice bin with a sanitizing solution made of 1 ounce of household bleach or chlorine and 2 gallons
of hot (95ºF – 115ºF) water.
3. Pull off the drain hose of the water trough to drain off all water.
4. Rinse thoroughly with clear water.
5. After draining off all water, put back the drain hose of the water
trough into the original location.
6. Put the ice storage bin inside the unit.
7. Reconnect power to the unit.
The ice scoop should be washed regularly.
Wash it just like any other food container.
There are 5 things to keep clean:
1. The exterior
2. The interior
3. The condenser
4. Water distribution tube
5. The ice-making system
WARNING
WARNING
Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit is

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CONDENSER CLEANING
WATER DISTRIBUTION TUBE CLEANING
ICEMAKING SYSTEM CLEANING
A dirty or clogged condenser prevents proper airflow, 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 six months.
When you find the ice cubes are incompletely formed or the output is low, the water distribution tube may
be blocked. Turn off the power button, gently take out the water distribution tube, locate the holes in the
distribution tube and use a pointed object such as a toothpick to dredge the holes. Then put the water
distribution tube back to its original position. If the tube is badly blocked, clean it as follows:
1. Shut off the water supply
2. Disconnect the water hose from the distribution tube.
3. Gently take out the distribution tube.
4. With a brush, clean the tube with a dilute solution of warm water and a mild detergent such as
dishwashing 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.
Minerals that are removed from the 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 to clean the system depends upon how hard your water is or how effective your filtration may be.
With hard water of 15 to 20 grains/gal. (4 to 5 grains/ liter), you may need to clean the system as often as
once every 6 months.
1. Make sure that all the ice is off the evaporator. If ice is being formed, wait until the cycle is completed,
then press the machine’s ON/OFF switch on the control panel.
2. Remove all ice from the storage bin.
3. Keep the ice maker connected to the water supply. Pour 8 oz. of Nickel-Safe Ice Maker Cleaner Solution
into the water trough. Then press the ON/OFF switch and the CLEAN button, initiating the wash cycle.
The machine will run in the Automatic Clean Mode.
4. Allow 30 minutes for proper cleaning. After cleaning, press the ON/OFF switch again. Use a drain hose
on the front of the water trough to drain off the waste water to a convenient container.
NOTE: Don’t drain off the waste water to the inside of the cabinet.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 (without Ice Maker Cleaning Solution) three times to rinse the ice making
system thoroughly.
NOTE: Ice Maker Cleaner Solution in the water bin during the rinse is not needed.
6. Prepare a sanitizing solution made of 1 ounce of household bleach and 2 gallons of hot water (95ºF to
115ºF). Wipe the entire bin inside and outside, covering the entire surface of the walls.
7. Fill a spray bottle with the sanitizing solution and spray all corners and edges, making sure to cover all
surfaces with the solution.
8. Allow the solution to be in contact for at least 3 minutes, then dry.
9. Repeat step 5 to rinse the ice making system one more time.
10. Press the ON/OFF button again. The machine will return to the regular ice making mode. Discard the
first batch of ice.
1. Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power.
2. Gently pull off the lower front louver.
3. Remove dirt and lint from the condenser and the
unit compartment with the brush attachment of a
vacuum cleaner.
4. Reassemble the lower front louver.
5. Plug in the ice maker or reconnect power.

Description of LEDs and buttons:
1. Bin Full (Red) LED: Bin full indicator light
When this is lit, the ice storage bin is full
of ice or there is something blocking the
bin-full probe. The unit will stop working.
When ice cubes are removed from the ice
storage bin, freeing the bin-full probe, the
red LED will remain flashing for 3 minutes,
then the unit will restart and return to the
ice making mode.
2. Ice Making (Green) LED: Ice making indicator light
When this is lit, the unit is working in the ice making mode controlled by a temperature probe on the
evaporator. When the green LED flashes, the unit is working in the ice making mode controlled by a
fixed timer.
3. Ice Harvest (Yellow) LED: Ice harvest indicator light
When this is lit, the unit is working in the ice harvest mode controlled by the ice-full probe.
4. Mode button: Mainly for service
When this is pressed, the ice making mode changes to the ice harvest mode or vice versa. The mode
can be judged from the status of the green and yellow LEDs.
5. Adjust button: Mainly for service.
When it is pressed over 3 seconds, the unit will enter the Ice Size Adjustment mode. The mode can be
judged from the status of the yellow LEDs.

ICE SIZE ADJUSTMENT GUIDE
1. Press and hold the “Adjust” button for at least 3 seconds. The unit will enter the Ice Size Adjustment
mode. The “HARVEST” LED (yellow) 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” LED (green) will
flash as you lower the ice size and will finally 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 “BIN FULL” LED (red) will
flash 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 return to the previous mode.
NOTE:
• If during the ice size adjustment mode the “BIN FULL”, “ICE” and “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.
1. The operating procedure is completely automatic.
2. When the ice storage bin is full of ice cubes, the machine stops making ice automatically. It starts
making ice again after ice cubes are removed.
3. The different colors of the LED display indicate various work modes.
4. A sensitive probe and accurate timer enhance the performance of the ice maker.
5. A compressor protection system is built in.
