IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
WARNING
FOLLOW THESE BASIC PRECAUTIONS TO REDUCE
THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, OR
INJURY WHEN USING YOUR ICE MAKER.
• READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE ICE MAKER.
• DANGER: RISK OF CHILDENTRAPMENT:
CHILD ENTRAPMENT AND SUFFOCATION ARE NOT PROBLEMS OF THE PAST.
JUNKED OR ABANDONED APPLIANCES ARE STILL DANGEROUS.
BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR ICE MAKER: TAKE OFF THE DOOR.
• NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN TO OPERATE, PLAY WITH, OR CRAWL INSIDETHE
APPLIANCE.
• NEVER CLEAN ICE MAKER PARTS WITH FLAMMABLE FLUIDS. THE FUMES CAN
CREATE A FIRE HAZARD OR EXPLOSION.
• DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR ANY OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND
LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE. THE FUMES CAN
CREATE A FIRE HAZARD OR EXPLOSION.
●This appliance is CFC- and HFC-free and contains small quantities of Isobutane (R600a) which
is environmentally friendly, but flammable. It does not damage the ozone layer, nor does it
increase the greenhouse effect. Care must be taken during transportation and setting up of the
appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can ignite and may
damage the eyes.
●In the event of any damage:
-Avoid open flames and anything that creates a spark,
-Disconnect from the electrical power line,
-Air the room in which the appliance is located for several minutes, and
-Contact the Service Department for advice.
●The more coolant there is in an appliance, the larger the room it should be installed in. In the
event of a leakage, if the appliance is in a small room, there is the danger of combustible gases
building up. For every ounce of coolant, at least 325 cubic feet of room space is required. The
amount of coolant in the appliance is stated on the data plate on the back of the appliance. It is
hazardous for anyone other than an authorized Service Person to carry out servicing or repairs
to this appliance.
●Take serious care when handling, moving, and using the appliance to avoid either damaging the
refrigerant tubing or increasing the risk of a leak.
●Replacing component parts and servicing shall be done by factory authorized service personnel

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Before Using your Ice Maker
•Remove the exterior and interior packaging.
•Verify that you have the following parts:
o1 Ice bucket
o1 Plastic scoop
o1 User manual
•Before installing and using your new ice maker, let it stand upright for a minimum of 4 hours.
This will reduce the possibility of a cooling system malfunction from improper handling during
transportation.
•Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.
Installing your Ice Maker
•This appliance is designed to exhaust hot air through the front vent. This allows for
installation in a recessed or built-in application, if desired.
•This appliance is designed to be either free-standing or built-in (fully recessed). If free-
standing, the unit should have at least 4” of clearance at both sides, at the top, and at the
back to allow for adequate ventilation. If it is built-in, leave at least 3/16” at both sides, 1/16”
at the top, and 2” at the back. Be sure that airflow under the appliance is not blocked.
•Place your ice maker on a level surface that is strong enough to support the ice maker
when it is fully loaded. Remember that the unit will be significantly heavier once it is
operational and fully loaded. Level your ice maker by adjusting the legs at the front of the
ice maker.
•Locate the ice maker away from direct sunlight and other heat sources (stove, heater,
radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the finish. Heat sources may increase electrical
consumption. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may cause the ice maker to
malfunction. This ice maker is designed for installation and use indoors in controlled
ambient conditions.
•Avoid locating the ice maker in moist/humid areas. Excess moisture in the air may cause
frost to form quickly on the evaporator and cabinet, requiring frequent defrosting. The ice
may also stick together.
•Plug the ice maker into a dedicated, properly installed grounded wall outlet. DO NOT, under
any circumstances, cut or remove the third (grounding) prong from the power plug. Any
questions concerning power and/or grounding should be directed toward a certified
electrician.

5
Electrical Connection
•This ice maker should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this ice maker is
equipped with a three-prong plug, which mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to
minimize the possibility of electrical shock.
•Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third grounding prong from the supplied
power cord.
•Do not use an extension cord to connect power to the unit.
•Do not use a two-prong grounding adapter.
•If you only have a two-prong wall receptacle, contact a qualified electrician to have it replaced
with a grounded three-prong receptacle in accordance with the applicable electrical codes.
•This ice maker requires a standard 115V AC, 60Hz grounded three-prong electrical outlet.
•The cord should be secured behind the ice maker and not left exposed or loose.
Extension Cord
Due to potential safety hazards, this appliance is not recommended for use with an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord, use only a UL/CL-listed, 3-wire grounding type
appliance extension cord with a grounding type plug and outlet. The electrical rating of the cord must
be 115V and at least 10 amps.
Connecting the Water Supply
WARNING
IMPROPER WATER LINE CONNECTION MAY RESULT IN FLOODING.
YOU MUST USE A LICENSED PLUMBER.
REVIEW STATE AND LOCAL PLUMBING CODES BEFORE INSTALLATION.
•All the necessary hardware is NOT PROVIDED (as the plumbing fixtures at the installation point
may differ) for installation so it is necessary to hire a professional licensed plumber to complete
the installation.
•Connect tubing (supplied with the unit) to the nearest cold water source. Have
sufficient tubing to allow the unit to be moved freely for cleaning and service.
•Make sure that the tubing is not pinched or damaged during transportation
and/or installation.
•Position the unit to allow airflow through the front grill (see figure 1). Figure 1
•Wipe the inside of the unit and ice bucket with a damp cloth.
Reversing the Door Swing of your Ice Maker
The ice maker is designed to allow the door to be opened from either the left or right side. The unit is
delivered to you with the door opening from the left side (hinged on the right). Please contact
customer service for instructions on reversing the door swing.
WARNING
IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDED PLUG CAN RESULT IN THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL
SHOCK. IF THE POWER CORD IS DAMAGED, HAVE IT REPLACED BY AN AUTHORIZED
TECHNICIAN.

OPERATING YOUR ICE MAKER
Initial Start-up Operation
1. A licensed plumber must properly install the unit.
2. Make sure the ON-OFF switch is in the OFF position.
3. Plug the appliance into a 115V polarized and grounded electrical outlet.
4. Turn the ON-OFF switch to the ON position.
5. Make sure the metal lever inside is pushed down into the ON position.
6. Make sure the water supply is on. As soon as the inner mechanism reaches the proper
temperature, the icemaker will begin to fill with water.
7. The first cubes make be small due to the air in the water line. Later cubes will be of standard
crescent moon shape and size.
8. The approximate time for the first cycle is between 50-60 minutes.
9. Each cycle will consume about 4 fluid ounces of water, so you should have a full tray after eight
hours.
NOTE: Discard all ice cubes made during the first THREE hours of operation.
•When the ice bucket is full, the ice making mechanism will automatically shut
off. The refrigeration system will continue to cool and maintain freezing
temperatures within the unit.
•The ice making function may be temporarily stopped by raising the metal arm
to the upright position (see figure 2).
•If the ice maker is not used regularly, we recommend that the ice bucket be
emptied periodically to ensure fresh ice.
•The cubes may appear white or cloudy. This is normal and should not be a
cause for concern. This will not affect the taste or smell of the ice.
•The front grill should be kept free of dust and lint to permit unrestricted airflow.
•This unit should be defrosted about every 4-6 weeks or when frost on the ice maker walls is
excessing (1/4” or thicker). To defrost, turn the unit off, remove/discard the existing cubes and
keep the door open at least two inches. You may want to place a towel underneath the open
door to soak up any water.
CAUTION: Do not scrape the frost with anything except a plastic scraper.
Thermostat
On the temperature knob:
•Min = Smallest gear
•Max = Largest gear
It is suggested to se the knob in the middle and adjust, if
needed. (If the ice cubes are not fully frozen, turn the knob
toward Max.)

Ice Cube Quantity and Cycle Time
Please use the information below to determine the cycle times for your ice maker prior to calling
customer service.
Your ice maker will make the first batch of ice in approximately 2 hours from the time you first turn it
on. It will start consistently making ice every 40-50 minutes after the first batch. The water pump
delay is to allow the machine to reach a low enough temperature to maintain ice structure.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Failure to unplug the ice maker prior to cleaning, moving, or servicing could result in
electrical shock or personal injury.
Cleaning your Ice Maker
•Turn the power switch to the OFF position, unplug the ice maker, and remove the bucket.
•Wash the inside with a warm water and baking soda solution. The solution should consist of
about 2 tablespoons or baking soda to a quart of water.
•Wash the bucket with a mild detergent solution.
•The outside of the ice maker should be cleaned with mild detergent and warm water.
•The stainless steel components of the door should be cleaned with stainless steel cleaner.
•The condenser coils should be vacuumed when they are dusty or dirty.
NOTE: Placing the ice bucket in the dishwasher may cause distortion of the ice bucket.
Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your
ice maker if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for
an extended period of time, you should take precautionary steps to ensure water from the defrosting
does not leak out.
Vacation Time/Storage
1. Shut off the water supply at the main water valve.
2. Disconnect the water supply line from the valve.
3. Allow the unit to run for an hour to two until all remaining ice cubes have been ejected and all
water has cycles through the system and has been made into ice cubes.
4. Disconnect the unit from the main power source.
5. Dry out excess water from the ice maker assembly.
6. Leave the door open at least two inches.
Moving your Ice Maker
•Securely tape down all loose items inside your ice maker.
•Turn the leveling screws up to the base to avoid damage.
•Tape the door shut.
•Make sure the ice maker stays in the upright position during transportation.
