Before you Begin: Preparing the Ice Maker for Use
Before you plug the ice maker in to a power supply, be sure to let it stand upright
for at least 24 hours to allow the compressor’s oils to settle.
Unpacking the Ice Maker
Carefully remove the packaging materials. Remove any shipping tape and glue
from your ice maker before using. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,
flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products
can damage the surface of your icemaker. Check to make sure the ice basket
and ice scoop are included. If any parts are missing, please contact our customer
service. Put the ice maker on a level and flat surface away from direct sunlight
and other sources of heat such as a stove, furnace, radiator, etc. The appliance
must be positioned so that the power plug is accessible.
Cleaning the Ice Maker
Follow the Cleaning and Maintenance section to clean the ice maker.
Installation Requirements
The ice maker has been designed for free-standing installation which will allow
you to install the unit in almost any place you desire provided you level the unit
and follow the instructions for clearance, water and electrical requirements.
Clearance and Environment Requirements
• Choose a well ventilated area with temperatures above 50°F and below 90°F.
Operation outside these temperatures may result in lowered production or may
cause other adverse effects.
• This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the elements, e.g., wind,
rain, water spray or drips. The icemaker should not be located next to ovens,
grills or other high heat sources.
• The unit should be located on a firm and level surface that is able to support the
ice maker’s total weight with water.
• There must be at least 4 inches of space around the back and sides of the unit
for proper air circulation.
Water Requirements
• Only use potable water or water suitable for drinking.
• The temperature of the water should be between 51°F and 90°F.
• Change the water in the water reservoir every 24 hours to ensure a reasonable
hygiene level.
Note: The add water light uses an electronic sensor that may not detect purified,
filtered, reverse osmosis, or distilled water. You may need to add a pinch of salt
to the water to increase the mineral content.
Electrical Requirements
Read all safety precautions listed at the beginning of this manual. It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving only your ice maker be provided.
Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
The ice maker 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-pronged and grounding-type wall receptacle providing 110-120V, 60Hz,
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
responsibility of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3-prong wall
receptacle installed by a certified electrician.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove any
safety, warning, or product
information labels from your ice
maker.
WARNING! Do not, under any
circumstances, cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the
power cord.
Note: If the room temperature is
lower than 60°F, it is best to select
the small size setting; otherwise, the
ice cubes may stick together.
