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

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.
