EdgeStar IP300P Ice Maker User Manual


 
USING YOUR ICE MAKER
1. Select the size of the ice cube by pressing the “Size” button. If the room temperature is
lower than 60°F, it is best to select the small or medium ice size, otherwise the ice cubes
might stick together.
2. Open the cover, remove the ice basket and pour water into tank.
Keep water level below the “Fill Line”.
3. Press “On” on the control panel to begin the ice making cycle.
4. The ice making cycle lasts 7 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the ice cubes
selected.
5. While the ice maker is on, verify the water level periodically. If the water level is too low,
the ice maker will stop automatically, and the “Add Water” indicator will turn on.
Press the “Off” button, fill the unit with water, and then press the “On” button.
Allow the refrigerant inside the compressor at least 3 minutes to settle before restarting.
6. The ice maker automatically stops working when the ice basket is full.
7. If you fill the unit with water, but the ice maker still does not function, empty some water
out through the drain, then recap the drain. The machine should start automatically.
8. Change the water in the water reservoir periodically to ensure cleanliness and hygiene.
9. It is best to use tap water or bottled drinking water in the ice maker. Distilled water may not
work. If you do use distilled water and the ice maker will not function, try adding a little salt
into the water (a small amount of salt added to the water should be imperceptible).
10. If the ice does not taste good, or the unit develops a musty odor, try running a few cycles
of the ice maker with a mild white vinegar solution. Then empty out all the vinegar solution
and run a few cycles with plain water to eliminate all traces of the vinegar.
If the ice maker will not be used for an extended period of time, you should drain the water
from the reservoir.
