IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Before the ice maker is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as
described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. SUMMIT® APPLIANCE
strongly recommends that you have a professional install your new machine. The
warranty may be affected or voided by an incorrect installation. To reduce the risk
of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the ice maker, follow basic precautions, including
the following:
Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet; do not remove grounding prong, do not use an adapter,
and do not use an extension cord.
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your ice maker, be provided. Use
receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.
Never unplug the ice maker by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull
straight out from the outlet.
Never clean ice maker parts with flammable fluids. Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can
create a fire hazard or explosion.
Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the
unit is disconnected and the water line is shut off.
Before operating, put all panels back into place.
Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the ice maker.
Do not touch the evaporator with your hand when the machine is operating.
Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do
so can result in electrical shock or death.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your ice maker unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual.All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Use two or more people to move and install the ice maker. Failure to do so can result in back
or other injury.
Never install or operate the unit in an enclosed area, such as a closed cabinet. To ensure
proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front of the unit must be completely unobstructed.
Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 50°F (10°C) and below 100°F (38°C).
The optimum supplied water temperature would be below 50°F. This unit MUST be installed in
an area protected from the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.
The ice maker should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.
The ice maker must be installed with all electrical and water connections in accordance with
state and local codes.Astandard electrical supply (115 V AC, 60 Hz, 15 A), properly grounded
in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the ice maker and cabinet.
The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes.

4
It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to work properly. Otherwise water may
not flow properly through the evaporator (ice mold). The ice production will be less than normal.
You may need to make several adjustments to level it.
All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
Make certain that hoses are not pinched, kinked or damaged during installation.
Check for leaks after water line is connected.
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.
Remove the packing materials and clean the ice maker before using.
Turn on the water supply tap before switching on the ice maker. Never turn the water supply
tap off when the ice maker is working.
Except to take ice from the unit, keep the door closed in order to reduce ice melting and to
promote proper ice formation.
If the ice maker will not be used 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 ice maker after cleaning.
Do not touch the condenser fins. They 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.
The ice machine cleaner contains acids. Do not use or mix with any other solvent-based
cleaning products. Use rubber gloves to protect hands. Carefully read the safety instructions on
the container of the ice machine cleaner.
Do not use the apparatus other than for its intended purpose.
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators and freezers are still dangerous, even if they will “just sit in the garage afew
days.”
Before you throw away your old refrigerator, ice maker or freezer: Take off the
doors. Leave the shelves or drawers in place so that children may not easily climb
inside.
Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the refrigerator/freezer.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical Connection
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

5
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.
Extension Cord
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended that
you do not use an extension cord with this ice maker.
Unpacking, etc.
After removing the packing materials, check the appearance of the ice maker for
possible defects or irregularity.If the product shows any irregularity in its appearance,
contact the distributor.
All the packing materials (straps, box, Styrofoam, wood, etc.) should never be left within
the reach of children and should be disposed of according to local regulations.
For safety, the product should be installed and used with caution in accordance with the
User’s manual.
Incorrect installation or careless use of the product may damage or injure the
environment, humans, animals, and/or materials and property. The manufacturer does
not bear any responsibility for the aforesaid damage or injury.
The automatic ice maker performs best at room temperature of 50~75°F and a supply of
water at 50°F.
The ice maker may be installed in either an indoor or outdoor environment, but it should
NOT be installed near heat generators such as heaters, stoves, or dish washers.
Outside air
The ice maker sucks air through the left section of the kickplate/grill using a fan and
expels hot air through the right section of the kickplate/grill. If anything is placed in front
of the kickplate/grill, the flow of air flow is disrupted, resulting in reduced performance
and, in the worst case, malfunction. The ice maker can be operated within a
temperature range of 50°F to 100°F.
Water supply
The ice maker requires a continuous supply of drinking water at 20psi or higher
pressure. The hydrostatic pressure should not exceed 80 psi.
Water quality
There is no such thing as “perfectly pure” water. All kinds of water including tap water
contain some impurities. Rainwater absorbs impurities from the atmosphere or when it
passes through soil. Some impurities consist of solid particles called suspended solids
and are filtered through micro filters. Any remaining impurities cannot be filtered
because they are chemically combined with water molecules. These impurities are
called dissolved solids.

6
The mineral content of the ice produced by the ice maker is reduced compared to the
content in the water before conversion into ice. Water containing a low level of
impurities is rapidly frozen. The reason for this is that the impurities elevate the
temperature of the water. Through such action, most of the impurities condensed in the
water-tank of the ice maker form a hard precipitation called scale.
This icemaker reduces the mineral level by circulating water during the harvest cycle
(the excessive quantity is removed through the outlet tube). Each cycle requires about
0.64 quart (0.6ℓ) of water. For each quart, about 0.5 quart is used in rinsing the water
tank and the remaining quantity is removed through the outlet pipe. In this process,
some impurities unavoidably remain and may accumulate on the internal parts of the ice
maker, forming abnormally-shaped ice cubes. If a large quantity of mineral scale
accumulates, the lifespan of the ice maker may be reduced.
For best operation of the ice maker, impurities and minerals should be decomposed by
washing periodically. The method of cleaning the ice maker is described on pages 18 -
21.
In general, it is best to use filtered water. Filters may remove not only bad odor but also
particles. Neutral water is not recommended.
Water softener is not recommended because it exchanges minerals. If the hardness of
the water is very high, softening may lead to the formation of opaque pieces of ice.
If you have any questions about the purity of your water, address your inquiry about
water treatment to an expert in water quality.
This product was thoroughly washed at the factory. However, check the cleanness of
the inside before use and keep it clean during use.

excess water to a drainage point such as a neighboring sink.
Refer to the specifications shown on pages 10 and 11.
Important Information: Be aware that if the ice maker is
installed ina corner, you must leave enough space so that
the opening of the door is not obstructed. Adjust the legs at
the bottom of the ice maker to be sure it is level.
When moving the ice maker using a hand truck or dolly, place
the dolly at the side of the unit and shut or fix the door tightly
to avoid possible opening during transport. Cover the ice
maker with a blanket or other suitable material to avoid
possible damage when moving the product.
Requirements for power supply
120VAC, 60Hz, 15-amp circuit breaker and electric power are
required. A separate circuit is required for grounding.
The power cord of the product should be inserted into a
suitable 3-prong grounding-type socket.
Important Information: A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) is not recommended because it could cause the
operation of the product to stop.
Important Information: The provisions of the National Electric
Code as well as any local laws and instructions should be
observed when installing the product.
Warning!
Do not use extension cords or 2-prong adapters. The product must be grounded.
Never cut off the grounding terminal of the 3-prong grounding plug.

Requirements for plumbing
Plan the arrangement of the water supply pipes.
Connect a 1/4" diameter copper cable with the tap water pipe.
Install a shutoff valve between the tap water pipe and the product so that the user can
operate the valve. Do not install the shutoff valve at the back of the product. Do not use
a self-piercing valve. If the tap water has a high level of minerals, a pipeline filter will be
required.
The pressure of the tap water should be maintained at a level between 20psi (1.4bar)
and 80psi (5.5bar). The tap water and drain pipeline should be planned and prepared at
the place of installation. If an electric outlet is available just at the back of the icemaker,
installation may be easier. The electric power, tap water pipeline and drain pipeline
should satisfy all the provisions under local laws and regulations. For the position of the
tap water, refer to the installation specifications and drawings on pages 10, 11 and 12.
Important Information: The icemaker is designed for use in a fixed position but itmay be
necessary to pull the unit forward for service. Therefore, do not install any material at
the front, upper or lower end of the product which may act as an obstacle when
moving the ice maker.
When preparing the bottom after installing the ice maker, place shims equivalent to the
thickness of the bottom under the product to keep the ice maker and bottom horizontal.
The lateral side should have at least 1/6" (4 mm) of space to allow for the projection of
the screw head.
Installation on a slab: Draw up the water to the drain position using the model with a
built-in drain pump (BIM68OSPUMP). The drain pump model may raise the water up to
about 8ft (2.4m) in height. The more bends in the pipeline, the lower the raising height.
Installation in a narrow or underground space: Either the gravity drain model
(BIM68OSGDR) or the drain pump model (BIM68OSPUMP) may be used. If there is no
space for drainage/sewage at the back of the ice maker, the drain tube should be
placed under the bottom.
Important Information: Pipe installation should be carried out in accordance with all the
provisions laid out by local laws and regulations.

10
Gravity Drain Pipe Model (BIM68OSGDR)
Before connecting the drain tube and the water supply pipe
with the ice maker, pipes should be arranged as follows.
The horizontal distance of the drain tube should be 1/4" for
every 12" (305 mm) distance.
An air gap is required between the drainage tube of the ice
maker and the drain pipe or sewage container. A stand
pipe fitted with a trap at the lower part may be used as a
drain pipe or sewage container.
Important Information:Installation of an incorrect drainage
pipe causes the ice in the ice container to melt rapidly.
1) Arrange the ice maker at the front of the opening of the
installation area.
2) Adjust the leveling legs to the correct height.
3) Install the inlet pipe (1/4" diameter copper pipe) on the
wall and connect the water supply valve.
4) Connect the drain pipe from the wall to the ice maker.
If the horizontal distance is 5' (1.5m) or longer, the drain
pipe should be arranged by drilling the wall at the rear of
the ice maker.

Installation Checklist
Important Information: The installation engineer should check whether any installation
part has been omitted and follow the check list below to ensure safe and proper
installation.
If you have any questions or problems regarding installation, address your queries to
the distributor or dealer. You may also seek information on the company’s website.
 Does the ice maker work properly?
If the ice maker does not work, check whether the plug has been inserted properly.
 Did you remove all the packing materials and tapes from inside the ice maker?
 Did you follow the installation instructions?
 Did you level the unit?
 Is the front of the kickplate/grill adequately ventilated?
 Does the user sufficiently understand the operation of the ice maker?
 Be sure to follow any safety instruction for storing or disposing of an old ice
maker. Remove the door or fix the door firmly if the door is closed. If a child
gets inside the ice maker, and the door is closed, he/she may get injured.
 Be sure to observe the following:
- Since the ice maker makes use of water, proper water supply and draining
facilities are required.
- Be sure to use the product with properly functioning drainage, since water
may leak due to various causes during installation or usage. Leaks may
cause electric shock due to moisture, so make sure that the following are
always observed:
1. When installing the product indoors, be sure to have a natural drainage
facility and make the floor waterproof, especially if the floor gets
damaged due to leaks.
2. A draining outlet must be available at the installation site; be sure to
connect the drain hose.
3. It is preferable that the floor be sloped so that the leaking water may get
drained away even if the drain hose gets dislodged or damaged. Install a
water overflow prevention wall to prevent damage.
The manufacturer will not be liable for any issue arising from failure to comply
with the above-mentioned warnings, dislodged/damaged water supply hose,
or inappropriate drain facility.

Operation
Initial operation
①Open the water supply valve connected with the ice maker.
②Insert the plug of the ice maker into the electric outlet.
③Open the door and turn the switch at the lower end of the
product to the “ICE” position.”
④Discard the first batch of ice.
⑤Good-quality ice is produced 1-2 hours later.
Using the ice maker
Use of the ice maker is very simple. Simply turn the switch at the
lower end of the product to the “ICE” position.
The product automatically starts ice production, which continues
until the ice container has been filled with ice. Remove the ice using
the ice scoop and insert the scoop into the holder on the inside of
the container (If you place the container in the ice, it may be
submerged in the ice).
The ice maker produces 24 ice cubes every 30 minutes. Also, the
produced ice drops down into the ice container; water is supplied to
the ice maker and the water is also drained.
Important Information: Do not put anything other than ice in the ice
container. Wine or beer bottles are unsanitary and a detached
label may block the drain pipe.
Ice shape
The ice has a rectangular bell shape (refer to Fig. 11).
Newly produced ice is clear and transparent. The inside of the ice is
sometimes cracked; however, such cracks commonly occur in the
production process and disappear with time.
Ice stored in the container for a long time may gather frost on the
outside and look muddy. This is normal and, once water is poured
on the ice, such frosting disappears.
Ice container
The product continues making ice until the level of ice reaches the
temperature sensing tube(right side). It then ceases operation. The
model with a drain pump drains away melted ice when the ice
maker is turned off. The pump works for only a few seconds.

17
Operation time
It takes about 20-35 minutes to produce a batch of 24 ice cubes. The length of one
cycle of the ice maker (ice production and ice removal) differs depending upon the
cleanness of the ice maker, the surrounding temperature, and the temperature of the
water supplied to the ice maker. It takes about 10-12 hours to fill the empty ice
container with ice.
Ice production
The ice production process largely consists of two cycles: ice production and ice
removal. 24 pieces of ice are produced with each cycle of ice production and ice
removal.
When water is sprayed on to the surface of the frozen ice-forming mold, the ice
production cycle is started. When ice is removed and water is supplied to the ice
maker, the ice removal cycle is started. The time taken for both cycles together is
about 20-35 minutes.
Ice production cycle
As the ice production cycle progresses, the compressor exhausts the refrigerant, the
fan motor circulates the air, and the pump motor circulates water. When the surface of
the ice-forming mold absorbs the heat from the water, the heat moves to the part to
which the fan supplies water. The heat is transferred to the air and the heated air is
removed from the ice maker. At the same time, ice is produced on the surface of the
ice-forming mold (at the upper end of the ice maker). When the surface of the ice-
forming mold has sufficiently cooled, the ice production cycle stops and ice removal is
started by the program installed in the ice maker.
Ice removal cycle
The compressor works during the progression of the ice removal cycle, but the pump
motor and fan motor are stopped. The hot gas valve and water supply valve work.
When the two valves are opened and the frozen surfaces are heated, ice drops down
into the container.
Then the ice removal cycle is stopped and the ice production cycle is started again by
the program installed in the ice maker.
How the ice maker uses water
The ice maker starts its work with the fixed quantity that has been fed into the water
container. When water is sprayed on to the surface of the ice-forming mold, the water
not containing mineral impurities freezes and attaches to the ice-forming mold. The
water containing impurities drops down into the water container. During the
progression of the ice production cycle, the mineral impurity level in the water in the
water container rises.
During the progression of the ice removal cycle, water is fed to the ice maker, thereby
diluting the water in the container, and washes a part of the concentrated minerals
through the drain pipe.

18
Cleaning
Cleaning the nozzle / ice slide / water tank
1. Open the door and
remove two front
injection bolts on the top
cover.
2. Pull the top cover to remove it.
3. Slightly lift the ice slide to remove it.
4. Clean the slide with a soft
plastic brush or sponge.

19
5. Clean the gap of the nozzle
frame fixed on the vessel
sheet (water tank).
6. Lift the drain projectile inside
the vessel sheet (water
tank), clean it, and drain the
water.
• Make sure the drain projectile
is assembled back in the
correct position after
cleaning; otherwise, draining
will not stop, with the product
rendered unable to make ice
cubes.
Cleaning the filters of the water tank and ice tank
1. Empty the ice tank and prepare a
cleaning solution by mixing 1 oz
of neutral dishwashing detergent
with 2 gallons of warm water (95
to 113°F). Soak a clean cloth in
the solution and clean the inside
