H Check that all parts have
been installed and that no’steps were
skipped. Check that you have all the
tools you started with.
16
n Take a few minutes to read
the ‘How your ice maker works” and
“Things to remember” sections, Panel C,
and the Use and Care Guide to fully
understand your new ice maker.
Preparing the ice maker for use:
17
n Open the ice maker door.
Wash out the jnterior bin with a solution
of two tablespoons baking soda and
one quart water. Rinse the bin
thoroughly with water.
18
n Turn the ice maker control
knob to the “CLEAN” posttion. Check that
the pump motor is operating correctly.
Note: Only the pump motor operates in
the “CLEAN” setting.
Check the operation:
Before running your ice maker for tne
first time, note the following:
l
Water enters only during the harvest
cycle so the first harvest cycle will be
completed without water in the system.
l
Water will not enter the pump pan
until the freezing plate gets cold and
the ice maker begins a harvest cycle.
l
Once the ice maker has been operating
for a while, a normal harvest cycle takes
between 1 to 2 minutes to complete.
However, the initial run takes approxi-
mately three hours to produce ice.
l
The evaporator thermostat opens
when the evaporator reaches the
preset temperature (+lo”F to -3”F,
depending on the thickness of the
ice). The hot gas solenoid and the
water valve solenoid are energized at
this time and the pump motor and fan
motor will shut down. The motors will
remain off and the solenoids will
remain charged until the evaporator
reaches 38°F (+ 2°F) again.
l
Ice maker must run at least 24 hours
before adjusting the thickness setting.
19
n Turn the control knob to
“ON” position. Check that the
condenser fan is revolving.
Ice maker must run for three hours
before ice will form.
three hours. When water flows over the
freezing plate, check that it is flowing
evenly. If it is not, the ice maker is not
level and Step 10 should be repeated.
Changing the
bin door and
lower panel
The bin door and lower panel can be
customized to match wood cabinets.
Check your type of ice maker (Model A
or B) to determine the height needed
for the bin door. Only those models with
a solid lower panel and toe space grille
can be fitted with a lower wood panel.
l
Cut panels using the specified
dimensions.
l
Make sure wood grain matches the
direction of cabinet wood grain.
l
The ice maker is subject to some
humidity. Cover both sides and edges
of wood panels with moisture-resistant
sealer.

Injury Hazard
Wear gloves and handle metal
panels carefully.
Cut metal panel edges are sharp
and may cause injury.
To change bin door panel:
1. Open bin door and remove two
screws attaching handle to top of
door. Remove handle.
2. Slide metal panel out of bin door.
3. Break off the ribs on the door
insulation.

4. Slide the wood door panel into the
bin door frame.
5. Reattach the handle with the two
screws.
To change lower panel:
1. Remove three screws attaching lower
panel assembly to ice maker.
Remove two screws at top of lower
panel assembly.
2. Slide metal panel and spacer panels
out of lower panel assembly. Set
spacer panels aside.
3. Slide metal panel back into the lower
panel assembly. Slide wood panel in
front of the metal panel.
4. Reinstall the two screws at the top of
the lower panel assembly. Reattach
the lower panel assembly to the ice
maker.
How your ice maker
works
When the ice maker is turned
to “ON”:
l
Compressor and condenser fan both
run.
l
Water pump circulates water.
l
Cutter grid becomes warm to touch.
When the ice slab reaches the
desired thickness:
l
Harvest cycle begins (normal harvest
takes 1 to 2 minutes).
l
Evaporator thermostat is satisfied.
l
Compressor keeps running but the
condenser fan will stop turning or turns
very slowly.
l
Water pump stops.
l
Hot gas solenoid and water inlet valve
open.
l
Excess water is flushed out of the drain
pan.
l
Cutter grid remains warm to touch.
After the ice slab is released:
l
Cycle begins again.
l
Cutting process begins.
When the storage bin is filled:
l
Bin thermostat opens.
l
Cutter grid remains on.
Things to remember
l
The ice maker will automatically
continue to harvest ice until the
storage bin is full.
l
The ice maker will shut down when the
ice in the storage bin touches the bin
thermostat well. It will begin harvesting
ice again when ice is removed from
the bin.
l
The storage bin is not refrigerated, so
there will be some melting. This will
vary with the temperature of the room
where the ice maker is located.
l
The ice maker must have good
ventilation to work properly. Do Not
block the front of the ice maker. Keep
the front air grille and condenser
clean.
l
The water system, including the filter
screen in the water solenoid valve,
needs to be cleaned periodically for
good circulation. Instructions for
cleaning the water system are located
on the inner door panel.
l
As the temperature of the room and
water varies, so will the amount of ice
produced. Higher operating
temperatures will result in less ice
made. To make the most ice, set the
thickness control to produce l/2” to
5/8” thick cubes.
21
n Continue to let the ice
maker run for 24 hours. Then check to
see if the cubes are the desired
thickness. If necessary, adjust the
thickness control.
