HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
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 which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall
outlet to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your personal responsibility
and obligation to have it replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The icemaker should always be plugged into
its own individual electrical outlet which has a
voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits
which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires.
Never unplug your icemaker by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip 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 icemaker, be careful not to
roll over or damage the power cord.

RACCORDEMENT ÉLECTRIQUE
Ne coupez ni retirez en aucun cas la troisième
broche (mise à la terre) de la fiche du cordon
d’alimentation. Pour votre sécurité, cet
appareil doit être correctement mis à la terre.
Le cordon d’alimentation de cet appareil est
muni d’une fiche à 3 broches (mise à la terre)
qui se branche dans une prise mural ordinaire
à 3 alvéoles (mise à la terre) pour réduire au
minimum les risques du chocs électriques.
Faites examiner la prise de courant et le circuit
par un électricien qualifié pour vous assurer
que la prise est correctement mise à la terre.
Si la prise murale est du type standard à 2
alvéoles, il vous incombe de la faire remplacer
par une prise à 3 alvéoles correctement mise à
la terre.
La machine à glaçons doit toujours être
branché dans sa propre prise de courant, dont
la tension nominale est identique à celle
indiquée sur la plaque signalétique.
Cette précaution est recommandée pour
garantir un rendement optimum et éviter une
surcharge des circuits électriques de la
résidence, ce qui pourrait créer un risque
d’incendie par surschauffe des fils.
Ne débranchez jamais la machine à glaçons en
tirant le cordon d’alimentation. Saisissez
fermement la fiche du cordon et tirez droit
pour la retirer de la prise.
Réparez ou remplacez immédiatement tout
cordon effiloché ou endommagé. N’utilisez
pas un cordon fendillé ou présentant des
signes d’usure.
Lorsque vous déplacez votre machine à glaçons
du mur, faites attention de ne pas la faire
rouler sur le cordon d’alimentation afin de ne
pas l’endommager.

CFC DISPOSAL
Old refrigeration products have cooling
systems that used CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons).
CFCs are believed to harm stratospheric ozone.
If you are throwing away an old refrigeration
product, make sure the CFC refrigerant is
removed for proper disposal by a qualified
servicer. If you intentionally release this CFC
refrigerant you can be subject to fines and
imprisonment under provisions of
environmental legislation.
DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
Child entrapment and suffocation are not
problems of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigeration products are still dangerous…
even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you
are getting rid of your old appliance, please
follow these instructions to help prevent
accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old
Refrigeration Product:
• Take off the doors.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children
may not easily climb inside.
DANGER! RISQUES POUR LES ENFANTS
Les enfants pris au piège ou morts d’asphyxie
sont toujours d’actualité. Les appareils de
réfrigération abandonés sont toujours
aussi dangereux, même si on n’attend que
“quelque jours” pour s’en débarasser. Si vous
ne gardez pas votre ancien appareil, veuillez
suivre les directives ci-dessous afin de
prévenir les accidents.
Avant de vous débarasser de votre vieux
appareil de réfrigération:
• Démontez les portes.
• Laissez les clayettes en place afin d’empêcher
les enfants de grimper à l’intérieur.
SE DÉBARRASSER DU CFC
Les vieux appareils de réfrigération ont un
système de refroidissement qui a utilisé les
CFC (chlorofluorocarbones). Les CFCs sont
jugés nocifs pour l’ozone stratosphérique.
Si vous débarrassez de votre viel appareil de
réfrigération, assurez-vous que le frigorigène
avec CFC soit enlevé correctement par un
technicien qualifié. Si vous libérez
intentionnellement ce frigogène avec CFC
vouz pouvez être soumis aux contraventions et
à l’emprisonnement après les stipulations des
lois sur l’environment.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it
is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed (in
the United States) or a CSA-listed (in Canada),
3-wire grounding type appliance extension
cord having a grounding type plug and outlet
and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15
amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.
8
CORDONS PROLONGATEURS
Nous vous recommandons fortement de ne pas
utíliser de cordons prolongateurs à cause des
risques potentiels qu’ils présentent dans
certaines conditions.
Toutefois si vous décidez d’utiliser tout de
même un cordon prolongateur, il est
absolument nécessaire qu’il s’agisse d’un
cordon à 3 fils avec mise à la terre pour
appareils électroménagers homologué UL
(aux États-Unis) ou homologué CSA (au
Canada), pourvu d’une fiche et d’une prise
mises à la terre de 15 ampères (minimum)
et de 120 volts.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS (Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)
However, if you must use an adapter, where
local codes permit, a temporary connection
may be made to a properly grounded 2-prong
wall outlet by use of a UL-listed adapter
available at most local hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned
with the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide
proper polarity in the connection of the power
cord.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, always hold the adapter in place with
one hand while pulling the power cord plug
with the other hand. If this is not done, the
adapter ground terminal is very likely to break
with repeated use.
If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DO
NOT USE the refrigerator until a proper
ground has been established.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a
wall outlet cover screw does not ground the
appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and
not insulated, and the wall outlet is grounded
through the house wiring. You should have the
circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an adapter plug.

CONSERVEZ CES DIRECTIVES
FICHE D’ADAPTATION (Fiches d’adaptation non permises au Canada)
Toutefois, si vous décidez d’utiliser tout de
même une fiche d’adaptation, vous pouvez
effectuer un raccordement temporaire, si les
codes locaux le permettent, dans une prise de
courant à 2 alvéoles adéquatement mise à la
terre en utilisant une fiche d’adaptation
homologuée UL, en vente dans la plupart des
quincailleries.
La fente la plus longue de la fiche doit être
alignée avec la fente la plus longue de la prise
murale afin d’assurer la polarité appropriée
pour le branchement du cordon
d’alimentation.
Lorsque vous débranchez le cordon
d’alimentation de la fiche d’adaptation,
saisissez toujours la fiche d’une main pendant
que vous tirez sur la fiche du cordon
d’alimentation de l’autre. Sinon, la borne de
mise à la terre de la fiche d’adaptation risque
de casser avec le temps.
Si la borne de mise à la terre de la fiche casse,
N’UTILISEZ PAS l’appareil tant qu’une mise
à la terre adéquate n’aura pas été rétablie.
Le fait de fixer la borne de mise à la terre de la
fiche d’adaptation à la plaque de la prise de
courant n’assure pas automatiquement la mise
à la terre de l’appareil. Il faut que la vis soit en
métal, non isolée, et que la prise de courant
soit mise à la terre par l’entremise du câblage
de résidence. Faites vérifier le circuit par un
électricien qualifié pour vous assurer que la
prise est adéquatement mise à la terre.
Nous vous recommandons fortement de ne pas utiliser une fiche d’adaptation à cause des risques potentiels
qu’elle présente dans certaines circonstances.

Operating Instructions
Icemaker
How your
icemaker
works
When you first start your icemaker, the water
pan will fill and the system will rinse itself
before starting to make ice. The rinsing
process takes about five minutes.
Under normal operating conditions, the icemaker will cycle at preset temperatures. The
ice level sensor located in the ice storage bin
will monitor the ice levels.
IMPORTANT
• If the water supply to the icemaker is
turned off, be sure to set the icemaker
control to OFF.
• The icemaker is designed to make clear ice
from the majority of water sources on a daily
basis. If your results are unsatisfactory, your
water may need to be filtered or treated.
Making Ice
1. Water is constantly circulated over a freezing
plate. As the water freezes into ice, the
minerals in the water are rejected. This
produces a clear sheet of ice with a low
mineral content.
2. When the desired thickness is reached, the
ice sheet is released and slides onto a cutter
grid. The grid divides the sheet into
individual cubes.
3. The water containing the rejected minerals
is drained after each freezing cycle.
4. Fresh water enters the machine for the next
ice making cycle.
5. Cubes fall into the storage bin. When
the bin is full, the icemaker shuts off
automatically and restarts when more ice
is needed. The ice bin is not refrigerated
and some melting will occur. The amount
of melting varies with room temperature.
NOTE: As the room and water temperatures
vary, so will the amount of ice produced and
stored. This means that higher operating
temperatures result in reduced ice production.
Icemaker
system
1. Push the selector switch to OFF.
2. Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the ice to fall into
the storage bin. Remove all ice from the
storage bin.
3. Unscrew the drain cap from the bottom of
the water pan located inside the storage bin
as shown. Allow the water to drain
completely.
4. Replace the drain cap.
5. Use one 16 oz. bottle of Nickel Safe Ice
Machine Cleaner by Nu Calgon. Read and
follow all safety precautions on the bottle.
Pour one bottle of solution into the water
reservoir. Fill the bottle twice with tap water
and pour it into the water reservoir.
Nickel Safe Ice Machine Cleaner by Nu Calgon
is available at appliance repair shops.
6. Push the selector switch to CLEAN. The
light will turn on indicating that the cleaning
cycle is in process.
7. When the indicator light turns off
(approximately 45 minutes), the cleaning
cycle is complete. During the cleaning cycle,
the system will both clean and rinse itself.
8. After the cleaning cycle is complete, remove
the drain cap from the water pan to see if
any cleaning solution is left in the water pan.
If cleaning solution drains from the water
pan, you should run the clean cycle again.
NOTE: Severe scale buildup may require
repeated cleaning with a fresh quantity of
cleaning solution.
9. Push the selector switch to ON to resume
ice production.

Care and Cleaning
Icemaker
Caring
for your
icemaker
Periodically inspect and clean the icemaker
to keep it operating at peak efficiency.
Both the ice making system and the air cooled
condenser need to be cleaned regularly. The
minerals rejected from the circulating water
during the freezing cycle will eventually form a
hard scaly deposit in the water system which
prevents a rapid release of the ice from the
freezing plate.
Clean the ice and water system periodically to
remove mineral scale buildup. Frequency of
cleaning depends on water hardness. With
hard water (15 to 20 grains/gal. [4 to 5
grains/liter]), cleaning may be required as
frequently as every 6 months.
For best performance, brush or vacuum lint
and dirt from the condenser once a year.
Unscrew the grille on the bottom front of the
cabinet to access the condenser.
Unplug the icemaker before cleaning.
Exterior
surfaces
Wash the exterior enamel surfaces and gaskets
with warm water and mild soap or detergent.
Wipe and dry. Regular use of a good
household appliance cleaner and wax will
help protect the finish.
Do not use abrasive cleaners on enamel
surfaces as they may scratch the finish.
Models with a stainless steel exterior can be
cleaned with a commercially available stainless
steel cleaner using a clean, soft cloth. Do not
use appliance wax or polish on the stainless
steel.

Care and Cleaning
Icemaker
Condenser
A dirty or clogged condenser:
• Prevents proper airflow.
• Reduces ice making capacity.
• Causes higher than recommended operating
temperatures which may lead to component
failure.
1. Unplug the icemaker or disconnect power.
2. Remove the 2 screws in the lower access
panel and the 2 screws from the base grille
area of the front panel support. Pull forward
to remove the lower access panel.
3. Pull the bottom forward and then pull down
to remove the lower access panel.
4. Remove dirt and lint from the condenser
fins and the unit compartment with a brush
attachment attached to a vacuum cleaner.
5. Replace the lower access panel using the
4 screws.
6. Plug in the icemaker or reconnect power.
