IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Before the ice maker is used, it must be properly positioned and
installed as described in this manual, so read the manual carefully.
Franklin Industries strongly recommends that you have a
professional install your new machine. The warranty may be
affected or voided by an incorrect installation. To reduce the risk of
fire, electrical shock or injury when using the ice maker, follow
basic precautions, including the following:
2
? Plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet. Do not remove grounding prong, do not use an
adapter, and do not use an extension cord.
? It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your ice maker, be provided.
Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
? Do not connect or disconnect the electric plug when your hands are wet.
? Never unplug the ice maker by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly
and pull straight out from the outlet.
? Never clean ice maker parts with flammable fluids. Do not store or use gasoline or
other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The
fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
? Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power
line of the unit is disconnected and the water line is shut off. (EXCEPTION: When
cleaning the machine’s ice making and water systems, see pages 18 – 19.)
? Before operating, put all the enclosure panels back into their original places.
? Do not touch the evaporator with your hand when the machine is operating.
? Unplug the ice maker or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do
so can result in electrical shock or death.
? Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your ice maker unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
? Use two or more people to move and install ice maker. Failure to do so can result in
back or other injury.
? To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front of the unit must be
completely unobstructed. Choose a well-ventilated area with temperatures above 50ºF
(10ºC) and below 100ºF (38ºC). This unit MUST be installed in an area protected from
the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.
? The ice maker should not be located next to ovens, grills or other sources of high heat.
? The ice maker must be installed with all electrical and water connections in accordance
with state and local codes. A standard electrical supply (115 VAC only, 60 Hz, 15 A),
properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances, is required.
? Do not kink or pinch power supply cord or drain lines between ice maker and cabinet.
? The fuse (or circuit breaker) size should be 15 amperes.
? It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to work properly. You may need
to make several adjustments to level it.
? All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
? Make certain that the hoses are not pinched or kinked or damaged during installation.
? Check for leaks after connection.
? Remove the packing materials and clean the ice maker before using.
? Turn on the water supply tap before switching on the ice maker. Never turn the water
supply tap off when the ice maker is working.
? Except to take ice from the unit, keep the door closed in order to reduce ice melting and
to promote proper ice formation.
? Although the unit has been tested at the factory, due to long-term transit and storage,
the first batch of cubes must be discarded.
3
? If the ice maker will not be used for a long time, before the next use it must be
thoroughly cleaned. Follow carefully any instructions provided for cleaning or use of
sanitizing solution. Do not leave any solution inside the ice maker after cleaning.
? DO NOT touch the condenser fins. The condenser fins are sharp and can be easily
damaged.
? 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.
? The ice machine cleaner contains acids. DO NOT use or mix with any other
solvent-based cleaner products. Use rubber gloves to protect hands. Carefully read the
material safety instructions on the container of the ice machine cleaner.
? Do not use this apparatus for other than its intended purpose.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical Connection
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power
cord. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. The power cord of
this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug that mates with a standard
3-prong grounding wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from
the appliance. Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the outlet is properly grounded. When a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
The ice maker should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which
has a voltage rating that matches the rating label on the appliance. This provides the best
performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a
fire hazard from overheated wires. Never unplug your ice maker by pulling on the power
cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet. Repair or replace
immediately all power cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use
a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either end. When
moving the ice maker, be careful not to damage the power cord.
Extension Cord
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, it is strongly recommended
that you do not use an extension cord with this ice maker.
Major Features
1. Completely automatic operation.
2. The different colors of the LED display indicate various work modes.
3. The fan motor responds to the ambient temperature. If room temperature is low, the
motor will stop working to keep the cooling system in good working condition.
4. Ice cube size is adjustable.
5. A sensitive probe and accurate timer enhance the performance of the ice maker.

Unpacking
Remove packaging materials
IMPORTANT: Do not remove any permanent instruction labels or the data label on your
ice maker.
Remove tape and glue from your ice maker before using,
? To remove any remaining tape or glue, rub the area briskly with your thumb. Tape
or glue residue can also be easily removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid
dish soap over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry.
? Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or abrasive
cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage the surface of your ice
maker.
? Leave lowermost foam panel in place until after the adjustable feet are attached.
Cleaning before use
After you remove all tape and glue from the machine, clean the inside of your ice maker
before using it. See “Interior Cleaning” in the Cleaning and Maintenance section.
Installing the adjustable feet
At least two persons are required to install the adjustable feet.
You will find four adjustable feet packed in the ice storage bin. To install, tilt one side of
the unit and screw in two adjustable feet, as illustrated. (IMPORTANT: Do not tilt the
unit more than 45º.) Then tilt the other side and screw in the remaining two feet.
