WATER SUPPLY
Observe and follow all local building codes when installing
this appliance.
This ice machine must be connected to a potable cold
water supply line. delivering water pressure between a
minimum of 20 psi and a maximum of 120 psi.
Use 1⁄4” copper tubing for your water supply which is
available at any local hardware or plumbing supply store.
Route the 1⁄4” copper tubing to suit your installation being
sure not to kink the tubing. Purchase enough copper
tubing length to allow a coil to be formed behind the unit
for a “service loop” which will allow the appliance to be
pulled out from the installation for servicing or cleaning.
(See Figure 11). Connect the copper tubing to the “top
side” of a cold water pipe to prevent the ice-maker from
plugging with sediment.
A shuto valve is recommended on the water supply line
to ease servicing the appliance. NOTE: A SELF-PIERCING
TYPE VALVE IS NOT RECOMMENDED as they are prone
to clogging with sediment which will create pressure drop
reducing the water supply to the unit.
Connect the copper tubing water supply to the water valve
inlet with a 1⁄4” compression nut tting.
IMPORTANT: Secure the water supply line to the back of
the cabinet with the screw and strain relief clamp provided
in the corner of the back panel.
Make certain all connections are watertight after
installation. Form the tubing so that it will not vibrate
against the cabinet body or kink when your appliance is
moved in and out of position.
This ice machine is designed to make clear ice from the
majority of water sources on a daily basis. If your results
are unsatisfactory, your water may need to be ltered or
treated. A water specialist can recommend proper water
treatment.
To prevent water leaks:
•The water line tting is to be used with copper tubing
only. Do not use with plastic tubing.
• Do not use any thread sealers on this water line
tting.
NOTE:
Reverse osmosis (RO) water, softened water, and
de-ionized water are not recommended as they
can adversely affect the quality and quantity of
the ice.

Drain
The oor drain must be large enough to
accommodate drainage from all attached drains.
Follow these guidelines when installing drain
lines to prevent water from owing back into
the ice maker storage bin and/or potentially
owing onto the oor, which may result in
personal injury or property damage
Failure to connect water supply or drain line
connections properly can result in personal injury
and property damage. Gravity drain connections
must be routed downward from the rest of the
unit at the rate of 1/4” per foot (1 cm per 50 cm).
Drain can NOT be located directly below the
unit. Unit has a solid base that will not allow the
unit to drain below itself.
There is a possibility that hose connections may
have loosened during shipment.
Verify all connections and ttings are free from
leaks.
This equipment is to be installed with adequate
backow protection to comply with applicable
federal, state and local codes

USER GUIDE
First Use
ICE
Your ice machine is unique in how it forms ice with
fractional freezing to form a slab of ice that is clear and
has less dissolved solids than the water from which it is
produced. This is accomplished by running water over the
cold evaporator plate which gradually freezes the water to
produce the ice slab. Pure water freezes rst, leaving the
dissolved solids in the residual reservoir water.
When the ice slab reaches the correct thickness, the ice
sheet is released and slides onto the grid cutter. There,
the ice slab is cut into cubes by the grid cutter’s heated
wires. The water containing the dissolved minerals is
drained after each freezing cycle. Fresh water enters the
machine for the next ice making cycle.
The ice machine will keep producing ice until the ice
machine’s bin is full, resuming automatically as needed.
The ice bin is not refrigerated, and some melting will occur
by design to preserve the ice quality and clarity. Allow
your ice machine to run for 24-48 hours to accumulate ice.
The bin level
sensor is located
in the ice bin, it
senses when the
ice supply is low
or full and starts
or stops the ice-
making process
accordingly.
ICE PRODUCTION
In normal mode, the ice machine will produce up to 39
pounds (17.7 kg) of clear ice in a 24-hour period when
installed in a 72ºF ambient with a 55ºF water supply. In
“ECO” mode, the ice machine will produce up to 29 pounds
(13.2 kg) of clear ice in a 24-hour period.
Note:
“Initial” ice production and ice accumulated in the storage
bin will vary signicantly. This is normal. During the rst
24-hours of operation the unit will produce up to 39 lbs
of ice at the above ambient and water temperatures,
but when starting with an empty ice storage bin, ice
accumulation may only be 18 lbs. By design, the ice
storage bin is maintained at a temperature slightly above
freezing to allow the stored ice to slowly melt, to preserve
the ice quality and clarity and assure a constant supply
of fresh ice. As ice is accumulated in the bin, the ice
production rate will over come the ice melt and the storage
bin will ll to capacity.
NEW SOUNDS
The ice machine will make sounds that are dierent than
your household refrigerator. The ice production process
creates noises such as ice falling onto hard surfaces, water
cascading across the evaporator, and valves opening and
closing. Below are some of the sounds you may hear:
Buzzing - water valve opens to ll water reservoir.
Rattling - water owing through water line.
Splashing - water owing over evaporator plate and into
reservoir.
A “Thud” - ice slab sliding down onto the grid cutter.
Clicks - ice cubes falling into the ice storage bin.
Gurgling - refrigerant owing in the ice machine.
Air - the condenser fan.
