Using your ice maker
How the ice maker works
1. Water is constantly circulated over a freez-
ing plate. As the water freezes into ice the min-
erals in the water are rejected. This produces a
clear sheet
2
of ice with a
low mineral content.
2. When the desired thickness is reached, the
ice sheet is released and slides onto a
grid. The grid divides the sheet Into individual
cubes.
Cutler
3. The water containing the rejected minerals
is drained after each freezing cycle.
4. Fresh water enters the machine for the next
ice making cycle.
5. Cubes fall into the storage bin. When the
bin is full the ice maker shuts off automatically
and restarts when more ice is needed.

CYCLE
2. To start the normal ice making cycle, turn
the Cycle Control Knob to “ON:’
3. To stop ice maker operation, turn Cycle
Control Knob to “OFF.”
The “CLEAN” setting is used whenever solutions
are circulated through the ice maker for cleaning. Only the water pump operates at this
setting.
1. Select ice thickness. The ice maker has
been preset to produce ice approximately
thick, while operating in a room ambient of
70°F (21°C).
Operation in different ambient temperatures
may require readjusting the control toward
“THICK” or “THIN:’
Best operation will be obtained with ice
W’to
5/a” thick.
If operating in a warm room ambient (above
90°F [32”C]) DO NOT set control to maximum
thickness or the unit may malfunction.
Changing the bin door panel
You can make a decorative wood front to
match existing cabinets.
To change panel:
1. Open the storage bin door. Remove the
two screws on the top of the door which hold
the handle.
2. Loosen the screws in both of the side trim
pieces.
3. Remove the handle.

Cleaning and caring for your ice maker
Periodically inspect and clean the ice
maker to keep it operating at peak efficiency
and to prevent premature failure of system
components.
Both the ice making system and the air cooled
condenser need to be cleaned regularly.
The minerals rejected from the circulating
water during the freezing cycle will eventually
form a hard scaly deposit in the water system
which prevents a rapid release of the ice from
the freezing plate.
Cleaning exterior surfaces
Wash the exterior enamel surfaces and
gaskets wrth warm water and mild soap or
detergent. Rinse and dry. Regular use of
a good household appliance cleaner and
wax will help protect the finish.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners on
enamel surfaces as they may scratch the
ftnish.
Clean the ice and water system periodically
to remove mineral scale build-up. Frequency
of cleaning depends on water hardness.
With soft water, cleaning may not be required
for several years. With hard water (15 to 20
grains/gal.], cleaning may be required as
frequently as every six months.
A dirty or clogged condenser:
l
prevents proper air flow.
l
reduces ice making capacity
l
causes higher than recommended
operating temperatures which may lead
to component failure.
Cleaning the condenser
Personal Injury and Product Damage Hazarc
l
Be sure the ice maker is OFF and disconnected trom the main
power supply. Condenser tan rotation, sharp condenser fins
and hot tubing could cause personal injury.
l
Condenser fins can bend easily. Use care when vacuuming the
condenser to keep from bending fins. Product damage could
result.
1. Disconnect electrical power supply to the
machine and place the Cycle Control Knob in
the “OFF” position.
LOWER ACCESS PANEL
2. Remove the two screws from the bottom of
the grilled front panel.
3. Pull forward and down to remove the panel.

Cleaning the ice maker system
Most ice machine cleaners are citric or phosphoric acid which
can cause irritation even after dilution. In case of contact with
eyes, flush eyes thoroughty with fresh water and contact a
physician immediately. In case of contact with skin, rinse well
with water. If SMJ//OWI?C& give large amounts of water and
contact a physician immediately. Do not induce vomiting. KEEP
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
1. Place the Cycle Control Knob in the “OFF”
position.
Personal Injury Hazard
ly THUMB SCREWS
2. Remove the two thumb screws and slide the
ice cutter grid forward, out of the two slots near
the water pan,
3. Unplug the electrical harness.
Any ice on the grid
under running warm water. Attempting to
pick the ice slab off the grid may stretch
and damage grid wires.

6. Pour Yz gallon (1.9 L) of hot tap water into the
Water pan and turn the Cycle Control Knob to
“CLEAN:’ This warms up the system to make the
cleaning solution more effective. Let circulate
for five minutes. While tap water is circulating,
prepare cleaning solution. MIX:
6 oz. (170 g] powdered citric,
or phosphoric acid into
Yz gallon (1.9 I) hot water
(Citric and phosphoric acid crystals are
available from many pharmacies or scientific
supply houses.]
Commercial ice machine cleaners (liquid) are
also available from your dealer or refrigeration
parts supply stores. Mix according to instruc-
tions on label [total quantity YZ gallon [1.9 L]).
7. Turn Cycle Control Knob to “OFF” and drain
the water pan. (See step 5 ]
8. Turn the Cycle Control Knob to “CLEAN” and
slowly pour the hot cleaning solution into the
water pan. (If solution foams while pouring, wait
until foaming stops.) Then add the balance of
the solution.
Allow solution to circulate until the scale has
dissolved (15 to 20 minutes). Severe scale buildup may require repeated cleaning with a fresh
quantity of cleaning solution.
To clean scale off the side flanges of the freezing plate, use rubber gloves and scrub with a
plastic scrubbing pad or non-soap filled
stainless steel pad dipped in cleaning solution.
9. Keep rubber gloves on to dram the cleaning
solution. Turn the Cycle Control Knob to “OFF”
and drain the water pan. (See step 5.)
10. Replace the plug and add Y2 gallon (1.9 L)
of fresh water. Set Cycle Control Knob on
“CLEAN:’ circulate five minutes and drain.
Repeat rinsing process.
Cleaning the interior components
1. Turn the Cycle Control Knob to “OFF” and
disconnect the electrical power supply to the
machine. Open the storage bin door and
remove any ice that is in the bin.
2. Remove ice retainer baffle by flexing it
then slide it off the studs.
3. Remove the ice cutter grid by unscrewing
the two thumb screws, slidina the arid forward
and unplugging
the electrical wi;e harness
4. Remove the water pan by unscrewing the
two thumb screws.
5. Remove the hose from the water pump.
and
6. Remove the water distributor from the
freezing plate. It is held in place by rubber end
caps. Remove the inlet hose and clean all
water distributor holes and the small orifice in
the inlet side of the distributor. When replacing
the distributor, make sure the end caps are
located in the evaporator flange detents and
that the water distributor holes face down.
7. Wash the interior components (ice
retainer baffle, cutter grid, water pan, inlet
hose and water distributor) and the storage
bin, door gasket and ice scoop with mild
soap or detergent and warm water. Rinse in
clean water. These components should also
be cleaned in a solution of ‘/4 oz. (8 ml) of
chlorine bleach with 1 gallon (3.8 L) warm
water.
DO NOT WASH PLASTIC PARTS IN
DISHWASHER.
They cannot wlthstand temperatures above
l445”F (63°C).

Filtering and treating water
In most areas it will be beneficial to filter or
treat the water being supplied to the ice
machine. It can improve the reliability of the
machine, reduce water system maintenance
and produce the best quality of ice.
The installation of a polyphosphate feeder will
generally reduce scale build-up and the ice
machine will require less frequent cleaning.
-
Vacation and moving care
To shut down the ice maker:
Municipal water systems are generally treated
with chlorine to maintain a safe potable water
supply. Activated carbon filters will sufficiently
remove the residual chlorine from the water to
reduce surface staining of stainless steel mate-
rials in the ice machine.
For information on filtering and treating
the water, see the dealer from whom you
purchased your ice maker.
