READ BEFORE INSTALLING LEG LEVELERS
WARNING
Do not lay unit on top, side, back, or front. If unit is accidentally laid in any position other than right side up, then the
unit must remain in the right side up position for at least 24 hours before plugging the unit in.
1. Tip unit backwards so there is (1) foot of clearance on front of the unit. Have someone to assist you in tilting the
unit, to prevent it from falling on you while installing the leg levelers.
2. Screw front two leg levelers into the screw impressions. Leg levelers should be screwed in until snug.
3. Repeat steps 1 & 2, with the exception of tipping the unit forwards now, to screw in the back two leg levelers.
4. Your leg levelers are now installed.
5. The unit should be level from front to back and side to side. If floor conditions do not allow the unit to sit level,
adjust leg leveler(s) by turning the required leg leveler(s) counter-clockwise to increase their height and clockwise to
reduce their height.

For your personal safety, this refrigeration product must be grounded. This appliance is equipped with a 5’ power supply cord
having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong
grounding type wall receptacle grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If
the circuit does not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility and obligation of the customer to exchange the
existing receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes and ordinances. The third
ground plug SHOULD NOT, under any circumstances, be cut or removed. All UL listed refrigerated products are equipped
with this type of plug.

DRAIN PLUMBING
Your ice machine uses a gravity drain that requires 5/8” (.63 cm) ID tubing from the back of the
ice maker to a plumbed connection to a sanitary sewer (see Gravity Drain drawing below).
Remove the access panel, with a 5/16” (0.8 cm) wrench to plumb in drain connection. Gravity
drain location for built-in units can be within the area shown in illustration below. An optional
drain pump can be purchased for your ice machine if a gravity drain is not accessible.
Observe and follow all local codes when installing an ice machine.

ICE MACHINE FEATURES
HOW THE ICE MACHINE WORKS
Your ice machine is unique in forming ice. It uses fractional freezing to form a slab of ice that is clear and has less
mineral content than the water it is produced from. This is accomplished by running water over the cold evaporator
plate which gradually freezes the water to produce the ice slab. Mineral deposits are left in the reservoir.
When the ice slab reaches the correct thickness determined by the temperature of the evaporator plate, the electronic
control switches to the harvest cycle to harvest the ice slab. During the harvest cycle, the ice slab falls from the
evaporator to the ice grid cutter. Here, the ice slab is cut into 3/4” squares by the grid cutter’s low voltage heated
wires. During the harvest cycle, the drain valve will remain open for 45 seconds to drain the reservoir of remaining
deposits. After that, the water valve will open for 2 minutes providing 2 quarts of water to the reservoir for the next ice
production cycle.
The ice machine will keep producing ice until the ice machine’s storage bin is full and will restart automatically when ice
needs to be replenished in the storage bin.
To begin ice production, turn the switch to the “ON” position.
Ice Machine Safety and Operation Tips
•Avoid leaning on the cabinet door. You may bend the door hinge or tip the unit.
•Exercise caution when sweeping, vacuuming, or mopping near the front of the unit. Damage to the grill and/or switch
can occur.
•Periodically clean the inside of the ice machine components and inside of the unit.
•Periodically check and/or clean the front grill and condenser coils.

USING YOUR ICE MACHINE
1. Allow your ice machine to run for at least 48 hours to accumulate ice in the ice bin.
2. The unit will cycle off between ice production and ice harvest cycles.
3. Your ice machine will make unusual noises that you do not normally hear form your household refrigerator/freezer.
These noises do not mean your ice machine is not functioning properly. They occur as a normal part of the ice
machine’s operations.
4. The unit will automatically shut down when the ice bin is full.
5. Unplug the ice machine before working on the unit.
6. Keep the ice machine clean for proper ice quality, production, and unit life.
7. Room and water supply temperatures will greatly affect the output of ice in the unit. (See table below.) Ice will also
melt away, especially at the start of an empty bin, but will slow down as ice accumulates.

Outdoor Use
1. For best performance, install under a counter or shelter. Avoid direct sunlight.
2. If the ice machine is not used for an extended period of time or if temperatures are below 450F (7.20C), it is
necessary to remove remaining water in the ice making system. (See Preparing Ice Machine for Storage, p. 12).
3. Chlorine gas from swimming pools and spas may discolor stainless steel. (See Cleaning and Maintenance below for
instructions on cleaning).
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean.
CCoonnddeennsseerr
The condenser tubing inside the cabinet does not require frequent cleaning; however, satisfactory cooling depends on
adequate ventilation over the coils. Be sure that nothing obstructs the required air flow openings in front of the cabinet.
Spiders and insects can nest in and around the ice machine causing damage to the unit. Frequently brush or vacuum
(twice yearly) lint and dirt from the condenser for efficient performance by unscrewing the grill and kickplate on the
bottom front of cabinet.
CCaabbiinneett
The cabinet can be washed with mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed with clear water. Never use abrasive scouring
powders.
IInntteerriioorr//IIcceeSSccoooopp
Wash interior compartment and ice scoop with mild soap and water or a baking soda and water solution. Do not use
abrasive powder, solvent, polish cleaner or undiluted detergent.
