Wafer Supply Connections
The wafer supply should be ready af the point of installation. The wafer
supply pressure should be a minimum of 15 psig with a static pressure
not more than 80 psig. (A wall outlet directly behind the ice maker will
make installation easier.)
IMPORTANT:
1. All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code
requiremen ts.
2. Make certain that the pipes are not pinched or kinked or
damaged during installation.
3. Check for leaks after connection.
Tools required: 1/2in. open-end wrench, Phillips screwdriver
Connecting the wafer line:
1. Turn off main wafer supply. Turn on nearest faucet long enough fo
clear line of wafer.2. Find a 1/2in. fo _Ain. vertical cold wafer pipe near
the installation location. The distance should be Jessthan 9 feet. The
wafer supply hose provided with the ice maker is about 9 feet long.
3. A shut-off valve must be installed fo the main wafer supply. If the
wafer pipe has a plain piece of copper tubing, attach a 1/,, O.D.
compression union fo the tubing and remove the nut.
4. Connect nuts of the wafer supply hose fo tap and wafer inlet valve.
Tighten firmly by hand, then one-half turn with wrench.
5. Turn on main wafer supply and tap. Check for wafer supply
connection leaks. Tighten every connection (including connections af
the wafer inlet).
IMPORTANT: When you connecf fhe wafer supply hose, pay affenfion
fo fhe indicafions of "Wafer inlef" on fhe machine.
* In general, if is always a good idea fo filter the wafer. A wafer filter
can remove taste and odors as well as particles. Where wafer isvery
hard, softened wafer may result in white, mushy cubes fhaf stick
together. Deionized wafer is not recommended.
Drain
NOTE: There is a drain line on the ice maker. Please drain wafer fo your
drain fhrough fhe drain line provided with ice maker.
1. Locate the floor drain near the ice maker. The distance should be
less than 4.5 feet since the length of the long drain hose provided with
the ice maker is about 4.5 feet.
2. Find the drain hose on the back of ice maker, then insert the other
side of the hose into the drain line.
All horizontal runs of drain lines must have a fall of 1/4" per foot. An air
gap will likely be required between the ice maker drain hose and the
drain/waste receptacle. A stand pipe with a trap below if would be
acceptable for the drain/waste receptacle. A floor drain is also
acceptable.
4. Pour 1 gallon of wafer into the ice storage bin fo check for proper
drainage.
Note: a condensate pump can allow for installation further from your
drain. Consult your plumber for advice.

2. After three minutes, the machine wJJJautomatically go to the ice
making stage, and the sound of flowing water wiJJbe heard.
3. When the batch of ice has been fully formed, ice will automatically
be harvested fo the ice storage bin.
4. When the ice storage bin is fuji, the sheet of cubes wiJJnot faJJ
completely and will hold the ice-full probe open. The machine stops
making ice and automatically.
5. The unit will start making ice again after the ice cubes are
removed. At that time, the ice-full probe swings back to operating
position.
IMPORTANT:
,, Although the unit has been tested and cleaned at the factory, due
to long-term transit and storage, the first batch of cubes must be
discarded.
• Never turn the water supply tap off when the ice maker is working.
Never touch the evaporator when the machine is running.
Except to fake ice from the unit, keep the door closed to reduce
melting and insure proper ice formation.
How fhe machine Makes ice
Turn the ICE/OFF/WASH switch fo the ICE position. The machine will
automatically start the ice making stage. There are two distinct cycles:
freeze and harvest. During the freeze cycle, wafer flows fo the
evaporator surface. In the harvest cycle, the ice is released and wafer
enters the machine. A complete cycle can fake 15 fo 40 minutes,
depending on temperature and operating conditions.
Freeze: During the freeze cycle the compressor is pumping refrigerant,
the fan motor is blowing air, and the wafer pump is circulating wafer.
When the batch of ice has been fully formed, the ice maker stops the
freeze cycle and begins the harvest cycle.
Harvest: During the harvest cycle the compressor is still operating, but
the wafer pump has stopped. The hot gas valve opens, diverting hot
refrigerant gas into the evaporator. The gas warms the evaporator,
causing the cubes fo slide, as a unit, off the evaporator and into the
storage bin. The freeze cycle will restart when all the cubes have been
harvested.
Evaporator
Water Inlet
How fhe machine uses fhe wafer
The ice maker begins with a fixed charge of wafer fhaf is contained in
the wafer trough. As the wafer flows fo the freezing evaporator
surface, the portion of wafer fhaf does not contain mineral impurities
wiJJfreeze and stick fo the ice cube molds. The wafer containing
impurities falls back into the trough. During the ice-making process,
fresh wafer enters the wafer trough continuously as the wafer from the
trough freezes continuously on the evaporator.

Normal Sounds
Your new icemaker may make sounds fhaf are not familiar fo you.
Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls
can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The
following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and
what may be making them.
• Rafting noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the
water line, Items stored on fop of the icemaker can also make
noises.
The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-
pitched sound.
Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make
a splashing sound.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the
refrigerant flowing in your icemaker.
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the
condenser fan.
During the harvest cycle, you may hear the of ice cubes falling
into the ice storing bin.
Preparing the Icemaker for Long Storage
If the ice maker will not be used for a long time, or is to be moved
to another place, if will be necessary to drain the system of water.
1. Shut off the water supply at the main water source.
2. Disconnect the water supply line from the water inlet.
3. Shut off the electric supply at the main electrical power source.
4. Take out the ice storage bin to remove ice and water. Dry it.
6. PulJ off the drainage tube of the water trough to drain off all water.
7. Leave the door open to allow for circulation and to prevent mold
and mildew.
8. Leave the water supply line and power cord disconnected until
ready to reuse.
11
IMPORTANT:
* Do not touch the power plug when your hands are wet.
* Never unplug the unit by pulling on the plug.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The icemaker must be thoroughly cleaned if it has been
left unused for a long time. Follow carefully any
instructions provided for cleaning or use of sanitizing
solution. Do not leave any solution inside the icemaker
after cleaning.
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, fop
performance, and long life. The maintenance intervals listed are
based on normal conditions. You may want fo shorten the intervals if
you have pets, or there are other special considerations.
Note: Never keep anything in the ice storage bin fhaf is not ice:
objects like wine or beer bottles are not only unsanitary, but the labels
may slip off and plug up the drain.
What should be kept clean
There are 5 things fo keep clean:
1. The exterior.
2. The inferior.
3. The condenser
4. Wafer distribution tube
5. The ice-making system
Before with cleaning and
n_ake sure the power 1Hieof the: unit is discomlected and tile water
line is sN_t off. (EXCEPTION: Cleamng of ic:e-makmg system)
Exterior Cleaning
The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and
warm wafer solution such as ] oz of dishwashing liquid mixed with 2
gallons of warm wafer. Do not use solvent based or abrasive
cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean wafer. Wipe with a
soft clean towel fo prevent wafer spotting. If the door panel is
stainless finish, if can discolor when exposed fo chlorine gas and
moisture. Clean stainless finish with a cloth dampened with a mild
detergent and warm wafer solution. Never use an abrasive
cleaning agent.
EdgeStar Built-in Ice Maker 12
interior Cleaning
The ice storage bin should be sanitized occasionally. Clean the water
trough before the ice maker is used for the first time and reused after
stopping for an extended period of time. It isusually convenient to sanitize
the trough after the ice making system has been cleaned and the ice
storage bin is empty.
1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Open the door and fake out the removable storage bin. With a clean
cloth, wipe down the interior of the unit with a sanitizing solution made of
1 ounce of household bleach and 2 gallons of hot water (95° to 115°F).
3. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
4. Put the cleaned and empty ice storage bin back inside the unit.
5. Reconnect power to the unit.
The ice scoop should be washed regularly. Wash it just like any other
utensil.
DO NOT use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on
the interior. These cleaners may transmit taste to the ice
cubes, or damage or discolor the interior.
Condenser Cleaning
A dirty or clogged condenser prevents proper airflow, reduces ice making
capacity, and causes higher than recommended operating temperatures
fhaf may lead fo component failure. Have the condenser cleaned af
least once every six months.
1. Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power.
2. Remove the 2 screws at the bottom of the front cover and gently pull it
off.

and a mild defergenf such as dishwashing liquid. Affer removing fhe
dirf and linf from fhe surface, rinse fhe fube wifh clean wafer.
5. Replace fhe disfribufion fube.
6. Reconnecf fhe wafer supply
Ice-making system Cleaning
Minerals fhaf are removed from wafer during the freezing cycle will
eventually form a hard scaly deposit in the wafer system. Cleaning the
system regularly helps remove the mineral scale buildup. How often
you need fo clean the system depends upon how hard your wafer is
or how effective your filtration may be . With hard wafer of 15 fo 20
grains/gak (4 fo 5 grains/liter), you may need fo clean the system as
often as every 6 months.
1. Make sure fhaf all the ice is off of the evaporator. If ice is being
made, waif for cycle completion, then turn the machine "OFF" af
the ICE/OFF/WASH selector switch.
2. Remove all ice from the storage bin.
3. Keep the ice maker connected fo the wafer supply, Pour 200g. of
Nickel-Safe Ice Maker Cleaner Solution into the water trough. After
about 5 minutes, initiate the wash cycle at the ICE/OFF/WASH
selector switch by the switch in the "WASH "position. The machine
will run the Automatic Clean Mode.
4. Allow 30 minutes for proper cleaning. After cleaning, turn fine
machine "OFF" af the ICE/OFF/WASH selector switch, Drain off the
waste water fo some container by drain pipe in the left of the
water trough.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 (without Ice Maker Cleaning Solution) fo rinse
the ice making system 3 times.
[] Note: The use of the Ice Maker Cleaner Solution in the
water bin during the rinse is not needed.
6. Prepare a sanitizing solution made of 1 ounce of household bleach
and 2 gallons of hot water (95° fo 115° F). Wipe fine entire bin inside
and out, covering every wall surface.
7. Fill a spray bottle with fine sanitizing solution and spray all corners
and edges making sure fo cover all surfaces with the solution.
8. Allow the solution fo be in contact for at least 3 minutes, then dry.
9. Repeat step 5 fo rinse the ice making system one more time.
10. Place the ICE/OFF/WASH selector switch fo the "ICE " position. The
