PLEASE READ all instructions completely before attempting to install or operate the
unit.

All ice makers require a connection to both a water supply and an electrical power
source. Improper hook-up can result in substantial property damage! Proper
installation, in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications and all local codes, is
the sole responsibility of the consumer. The manufacturer is not responsible for any
installation expenses or damages incurred due to improper installation. If you are
unsure of your ability to safely make electric power, water supply, and water drain
connections to the unit, consult licensed and insured professionals to perform all
electrical and plumbing work.

Once you have your unit installed, we suggest you keep this manual in a safe
place for future reference. Should any problems occur, refer to the
Troubleshooting section of this manual. This information will help you quickly
identify a problem and get it remedied. In the event you require assistance, please

Drain Pump Connection

CONNECTING A DRAIN PUMP

If a gravity drain connection is not available, and you have not purchased the
E15IM60E with factory installed pump, we strongly recommend the use of the
Electrolux EIMP60 drain pump. The Electrolux EIMP60 drain pump is available
through your Dealer, or direct from Electrolux with complete installation instructions.
If a pump other than the Electrolux EIMP60 drain pump is to be used, it must meet
the following specifications:

• It must be UL listed and have a UL listed, 120 VAC, 3-wire grounded power

cord.

• It must have overall maximum outside dimensions of 8-3/4" wide x 5-3/4"

deep x 7-3/4" high.

• It must have a minimum flow rate of 15 gallons per hour at 10 feet of lift.

• It must have a sealed sump which does not allow water leakage in the case

of a power outage, restricted drain or pump failure.

• It must have a check valve in the discharge line to prevent waste water return

to the pump.

• It must have an overflow protection control which will shut off power to the ice

maker in the event of a pump failure.

• It must have an operating temperature range of 50°F to 110°F (10°C to 43°C).

It is extremely important that the unit is level. If it is not level, the ice mold will not fill
evenly. This can cause a reduction in ice rate, uneven sized cubes or water spilling into
the storage area which will cause the ice in the bin to melt pre-maturely. Remember that
floors near drains have a tendency to slope towards the drain.

1 Position the unit on a flat, level surface, capable of supporting the entire

weight of the unit. Remember that the unit will be significantly heavier once it
is fully loaded.

2 The surrounding air temperature must be at least 50°F (10°C) but must not

exceed 110°F (43°C).

It is possible that dirt or scale will dislodge in the water line. Always throw away all ice
cubes made during the first two to three hours of operation.

Operation

NORMAL OPERATION

The ice maker is designed to make clear ice from most water sources on a
consistent basis. Water is constantly circulated over the evaporator assembly. As
the water freezes, gravity causes any sediment to drop into the water trough and
not become imbedded in the ice. This gives a clearer ice cube with a low mineral
content. When the ice reaches the desired thickness, it falls off the evaporator and
into the storage bin. The cycle is then repeated. When the level of ice reaches the
top of the storage bin the unit shuts off. As the ice level in the bin drops the unit will
automatically restart to keep the bin full. Your unit’s ice production rate may vary
depending on many considerations. Ambient air temperatures, water
temperatures, condenser cleanliness and ice-maker cleanliness are all
contributing factors to how quickly the unit produces ice. Certain sounds are
normal during the unit’s operation. You may hear the compressor or fan motor, the
water valve, the water circulation pump or ice dropping into the ice storage bin.

Ice Cube Thickness

Your Electrolux ice maker uses advanced technology to make ice that is crystal
clear. This technology cascades a flow of water over a chilled ice mold that is
mounted vertically so no water sits in it. Because of this ice making technology,
clear ice cubes differ significantly from regular ice cubes. Differences are
illustrated in Figure 27:

• Dimples. Electrolux clear ice cubes

Figure 27

DIMPLES

ICE BRIDGE

ICE001

have “dimples” on one side from the
cascading water process.

• Cube Variations. Cubes made from

different batches, or even cubes
within the same batch may have
varying dimples, thickness and/or
sizes due to the cascading water
process.

• Cube “slabbing”. Electrolux clear

ice makers produce a “slab” of ice
that falls from the vertical mold,
relying on gravity to break the ice
bridges. Depending on the control
setting, and the fullness of the ice
bucket, it maybe necessary to tap the
ice slab with the ice scoop to break it
apart.

ICE DISPENSER OPERATION & CARE

The ice cube thickness control is factory set for best overall performance. The
factory setting is designed to
maintain an ice bridge of
approximately 1/16" to 1/8" under
normal conditions resulting in a
dimple of approximately 1/4" to 1/2"
in depth (see Figure 28). A fuller
cube with less of a dimple results in
a thicker ice bridge. As the ice bridge
becomes thicker, the tendency for
the cubes to stay together as a slab
increases. A bridge thicker than 1/8"
may cause cubes to over-fill the ice
bucket.

Maintenance

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

• For best performance, keep the unit out of direct sunlight.

• Turn the unit OFF and dispose of any ice cubes if the unit will not be used for
5 days or more. Prop door open to allow for air circulation and prevent mold
and mildew.

• If the ambient temperature is expected to drop below 45°F (7°C), drain all
water from the unit to prevent freezing damage not covered by the warranty.

• High ambient temperatures, 110°F (43°C) or higher, may reduce the unit’s
ability to reach low temperatures and may also reduce the ice production
rate.

MAINTAINING AND CLEANING YOUR ICEMAKER

25

Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance,
and long life. The maintenance intervals listed are based on normal conditions. You
may want to shorten the intervals if you have pets or other special considerations.

Exterior Cleaning - As Required

The door, grille and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water
solution. Do not use solvent based or abrasive cleaners.

Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft, clean towel to
prevent water spotting.

Stainless Steel Models

• Stainless steel models may discolor when exposed to chlorine gas, pool
chemicals, salt water or cleaners with bleach.

• Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a high quality, all-in-one
stainless steel cleaner/polish on a monthly basis. Frequent cleaning will
remove surface contamination that could lead to rust. Some installations will
require cleaning on a weekly basis.

• DO NOT CLEAN WITH STEEL WOOL PADS.

• DO NOT USE CLEANERS THAT ARE NOT SPECIFICALLY INTENDED FOR
STAINLESS STEEL (this includes glass, tile and counter cleansers).

• If any surface discolors or rusting appears, clean it quickly with Bon-Ami or
Barkeepers Friend Cleanser and a non-abrasive cloth. Always clean in the
direction of the grain. Always finish this process with a high quality, all-in-one
stainless steel cleaner/polish to prevent further problems.

• USE OF ABRASIVE PADS SUCH AS SCOTCHBRITE WILL CAUSE THE
GRAINING IN THE STAINLESS TO BECOME BLURRED.

• Rust that is allowed to linger can penetrate into the surface of the stainless
steel and become impossible to remove.
