IMPORTANT INFORMATION

UNPACKING

After removing the packing materials, check the appearance of the ice maker for possible defects or irregularity.

If the product shows any irregularity in its appearance, contact the dealer to inquire about it.

All the packing materials (strings, box, styrofoam, and wood, etc.) should not be left within reach of children and
should be disposed of responsibly.

For safety, the product should be installed and used with caution in accordance with this manual. Incorrect
installation or careless use of the product may cause damage or injury to the environment, humans, animals,
and/or materials and property. The manufacturer does not bear any responsibility for any damage or injury.

The automatic ice maker performs best at an ambient temperature of 50°~75° F, and with a supply of water at
50° F.

The ice maker should NOT be installed near heat generators such as heaters, stoves, dish washers, or grills.

VENTILATION

The ice maker sucks air through the left part of the kick plate/grill using a fan and expels hot air through the
right parts of the kick plate/grill. If any material is placed in front of the kick plate/grill, the fl ow of air fl ow will be
disrupted, and can result in reduced performance and/or malfunction. The ice maker should be operated within
a temperature range of 50° F to 100° F.

CAUTION: Do not cover the kick plate/grill parts.

Note: A decoration door may be installed at the front but the ventilation holes of the kick plate/grill should not

be blocked.

WATER SUPPLY

The ice maker requires a continuous supply of drinking water at 20psi or higher pressure. The hydrostatic
pressure should not exceed 80psi.

WATER QUALITY

There is no such thing as “perfectly pure” water. All kinds of water including tap water contain some impurities.
Rainwater absorbs impurities from the atmosphere or when it passes through soil. Some impurities consist of
solid particles called suspended solids and are fi ltered through micro fi lters. Any remaining impurities cannot be
fi ltered because they are chemically combined with water molecules. These impurities are called dissolved solids.

The mineral content of the ice produced by the product is reduced compared to the content in the water before
conversion into ice. Water containing a low level of impurities is rapidly frozen. The reason for this is that the
impurities elevate the temperature of water. Through such an action, most of the impurities condensed in the
water-tank of the ice maker form a hard precipitation called scale.

If a large quantity of mineral scale accumulates, the lifespan of the ice maker may be reduced.

For best operation of the ice maker, impurities and minerals should be decomposed by washing with vinegar
periodically. See the SERVICING AND CLEANING section for details.

In general, it is best to use fi ltered water. Filters may remove not only bad odor but also particles. Dissolved
solids may be treated with a reverse osmosis system. Neutral water is not recommended.

Water softener is not recommended because it exchanges minerals. If the hardness of the water is very high,
softening may lead to the attachment of opaque pieces of ice.

If you have any questions about the purity of your water, contact your local water department.

INTERIOR OF UNIT

This product was thoroughly washed at the factory. However, check the cleanness of the inside before use and
keep it clean during use.

WARNING: Used refrigerators and freezers should be safely stored or disposed of. Ensure that the product’s

door has been removed or permanently closed. If children are able to enter the ice maker, a serious
accident may occur.

SPECIFICATIONS AND DIMENSIONS (cont.)

When moving the ice maker, ensure the cut-out dimensions, electric power, and piping position requirements
are met. Refer to the INSTALLATION section for complete details.

This product is a gravity drain model that requires a drain tube to run from the back of the product to an appropriate
drain pipe. The optional drain pump routes water to a drainage point such as a neighboring sink.

Important: The ice maker should be leveled.

Important: When moving the product using a hand truck or dolly, place the dolly at the side of the product and
