For The Plumber
connect to water (observe local codes)
1. Use VI” (6 mm) OD soft copper tubing for
the cold water supply.
2. Provide a convenient manual shut-off valve
in the water line.
3. Position the tubing so it can enter the
access hole located in the right hand rear of
the cabinet. The tubing should extend
beyond the cabinet front when the
cabinet is pushed back into position.
NOTES:
Always purge the water line before making the
final connection to the inlet of the water valve
to prevent possible water valve malfunction.
After the cabinet is in place, bend the tubing to
meet the connection at the water valve. The
garden hose-threaded compression fitting is
found in the parts bag. This joint provides a
convenient disconnect for service. Be sure the
tubing is clear of compressor to prevent rattle.

1. The unit is provided with a gravity drain.
2. The ideal installation has a standpipe (1-l/4”
[32 mm] minimum) installed directly below
the outlet of the drain tube. Refer to figures
for the proper location of the standpipe.
3. It may be desirable to insulate drain line
thoroughly up to drain inlet.
Connect drain pump
If a drain connection directly below the drain
tube outlet is not available, install a drain pump
in the rear compartment of the ice maker. The
drain pump must meet these specifications:
l It must be U.L.-listed and have a U.L.-
listed, 120 VAC, 3-wire, grounded power
supply cord.
l Overall maximum outside dimensions: 15”
(381 mm) wide x 6” (152 mm) deep x 9-l/2”
(241 mm) high.

For The Electrician
Electrical1 requirements
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15 or 20 ampere
electrical supply circuit, properly grounded in
accordance with the National Electrical Code
and local codes and ordinances is required.
It is recommended that a separate circuit,
serving only this appliance, be provided. Use a
receptacle which cannot be turned off with a
switch of pull chain. DO NOT use an extension
cord.
Grounding method
! A-
A *
Electrical Shock Hazard
Electrical ground is required on this
ice maker.
Do Not ground to a gas pipe.
Do Not change the power supply cord
plug. If it does not fit the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
Do Not have a fuse in the neutral or
grounding circuit. A fuse in the
neutral or grounding circuit could
result in an electrical shock.
Do Not use an extension cord with
this ice maker.
Check with a qualified electrician if
you are in doubt as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded.
Failure to follow these instructions
could result in death or serious
injury.
3-prong grounding-type
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-prong 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 responsibil-
ity and obligation of the customer to have
a properly grounded 3-prong wall recep-
tacle installed by a qualified electrician.

How The Ice Maker Works
l Compressor runs
. Condenser fan runs
l Water pump runs (circulates water)
l Cutter grid is warm to touch
WHEN THE DESIRED ICE SLAB THICK-
NESS IS REACHED, THE HARVEST CYCLE
BEGINS AND THE FOLLOWING HAPPENS:
l Evaporator thermostat is satisfied
. Compressor keeps running
l Condenser fan stops or turns very slowly
l Water pump stops
l Hot gas solenoid opens
l Water inlet valve opens
l Excess water is flushed out of the drain pan
l Cutter grid is warm to the touch
NOTE: Normal harvest cycle takes 1 to
2 minutes.
MACHINE RESUMES FREEZING AFTER
SLAB IS RELEASED FROM EVAPORATOR
AND THE CUlTING PROCESS BEGINS.
WHEN THE STORAGE BIN IS FILLED, BIN
THERMOSTAT OPENS.
l Cutter grid remains on
Things To Remember
l Water enters only during the defrost cycle
Therefore the first cycle will be completed
without water in the system.
l As the room and water temperatures vary, so
will the amount of ice produced. This means
that higher operating temperatures will result
in reduced ice production.
l The unit will shut off when ice in the storage
bin touches the bin thermostat well and will
automatically cycle to keep the bin full.
l The storage bin is not refrigerated and some
melting will occur. This also varies with the
room temperature.
l The unit needs good air circulation to
perform efficiently. Keep the front grille and
the condenser clean.
l The water system, including filter screen in
the water inlet solenoid valve, needs to be
cleaned periodically for good circulation.
Instructions are located on the inner door
panel.

Operating Instructions
l For complete operation information, refer to
the Use and Care Guide.
l Before starting, wash out interior of cabinet
with a Baking Soda solution (2 tablespoons
[26 grams] soda to 1 quart [l liter] of warm
water). Rinse thoroughly.
l Make certain the water is turned on.
l Turn switch to the “ON” position.
IMPORTANT: Allow unit to run for 3 hours
before expecting ice and for 24 hours before
trying to set the thickness control.
If installed above 2,000 feet (600 m) above
sea level, see page 2 for thermostat
adjustments.
CUBELET GRID
3/4” x 3/i” (19 mm x 19 mm)
Unit Wiring Diagrams
This model operates at 115 volts except for the
cutter grid circuit which operates at 8.5 volts at
1 amp.
The compressor runs at all times except when
the Bin Thermostat becomes satisfied and
opens the circuit. This de-energizes the system
except for the transformer and cutter grid.
Under normal operating conditions, when the
evaporator reaches the preset temperature
(+lO” to -3°F [-12” to -19%], depending on
thickness of ice) the evaporator thermostat
opens, terminating operation of the fan motor
and pump motor. The hot gas solenoid and the
water valve solenoid are energized at this time
and remain so until the evaporator reaches
38” + 2°F (3” + 1“C).
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing
unit.
Failure to do so could result in
electrical shock.
NOTE: A 15 or 20-ampere time-delay fuse
or circuit breaker is recommended.

Check Operation
Start the unit by turning the service
switch to “ON” and opening the line d
water valve.
NOTE: Left is “OFF” - Middle is “ON” -
Right is “CLEAN.” In “CLEAN” position,
only the pump operates.
Check condenser fan to make sure it is
revolving. Check for airflow. Do not
insert hand into fan area. d
Water will not enter pump pan until
freezing plate gets cold and machine
goes into a harvest cycle.
Check for even water flow over freezing
plate. Unit must be level for proper
operation.
Check for desired cube thickness and
after 24 hours adjust if necessary. Max-
imum ice yield will be obtained with ice
thickness at %” (13 mm) to %” (16 mm).
Replace grille.
