LEVELING THE ICE MACHINE
The rolling casters on the bottom of the ice machine allow it to be moved
easily to clean and sanitize the floor underneath.
The ice machine must be level to work properly. If the ice machine is not
level the water will not flow properly through the evaporator (ice mold). The
ice production will be less than normal, and may be noisy.
The ice machine can be raised or lowered by rotating the plastic feet around
each of the four rolling casters on the bottom of the ice machine.
If you find that the surface is not level, rotate the feet until the ice machine
becomes level. You may need to make several adjustments to level it.
Place a carpenter’s level on top of the ice machine to see if the ice machine
is level from front to back and side to side.
Adjust the height of the casters as follows:
To Lower - Turn the leveling feet to the right.
To Raise - Turn the leveling feet to the left.
IMPORTANT: When the ice machine is ready to be installed in a cabinet or
directly on the floor, you must lock the casters after leveling. If the floor is
level, just turn the two front feet to touch the floor.

ICE MACHINE USE
OPERATION
1. The operating procedure is completely automatic.
2. When the ice storage bin is full of ice cubes, the machine stops making ice
automatically. It starts making ice again after ice cubes are removed.
3. The different colors of the LED display indicate various work modes.
4. A sensitive probe and accurate timer enhance the performance of the ice
machine.
5. A compressor protection system is built in.
HOW THE ICE MACHINE USES THE WATER
The ice machine begins with a fixed charge of water that is contained in the
water trough. As the water flows to the freezing evaporator surface, the
portion of water that does not contain mineral impurities freezes and sticks
to the ice cube molds. The water containing impurities falls back into the
water trough. During the ice making process, fresh water enters into the
water trough continuously as the water in the trough freezes continuously
in the evaporator.

ICE MACHINE USE
OPERATION (Cont.)
1. Turn on the water tap, let the water trough fill.
2. Press the ON/ OFF button on the control panel. The ice machine will start
working automatically.
3. After 3 minutes, the machine will automatically go to the ice-making
stage, and the sound of water flowing will be heard.
4. When the batch of ice has been fully formed, ice will automatically be
harvested to the ice storage bin.
5. When the ice storage bin is full, the sheet of cubes will not fall completely
and will hold the bin-full probe open. The machine stops making ice
automatically.
6. The unit will start making ice again after the ice cubes are removed. Then
the bin-full probe swings back to operating position.
IMPORTANT:
• Although the ice machine has been tested and cleaned at the factory,
due to longterm transit and storage, discard the first few batches of ice
produced.
• Do not turn the water supply tap off when the ice machine is working.
• Do not touch evaporator when unit is running!
• Except to take ice from the unit, keep the door closed to reduce melting
and insure proper ice formation.
ENGLISH
ICE MAKING CYCLES
There are two distinct cycles: Ice Freeze and Harvest. The freeze cycle
happens when water flows to the evaporator surface. The harvest cycle is
when the ice is released and water enters the machine. A complete cycle
takes about 20 minutes, but it depends on temperature and operating
conditions.
Ice Freeze Cycle
During the freeze cycle the compressor is pumping refrigerant, the fan
motor is blowing air, and the water pump is circulating water. When the
batch of ice has been fully formed, the ice machine stops the freeze cycle
and the harvest cycle begins.
Harvest Cycle
During the harvest cycle the compressor is still operating, but the water
pump has stopped. The hot gas valve opens, diverting hot refrigerant gas
into the evaporator. The hot refrigerant gas warms the evaporator, causing
the cubes to slide as a unit off the evaporator and into the storage bin. The
freeze cycle will restart when all the cubes have been harvested.

CLEANING (Cont.)
ICE-MAKING SYSTEM CLEANING
Minerals that are removed from the water during the freezing cycle will
eventually form a hard, scaly deposit in the water system. Cleaning the
system regularly helps remove the mineral scale buildup. How often to clean
the system depends upon how hard your water is or how effective your
filtration may be. With hard water of 15 to 20 grains/gal. (4 to 5 grains/ liter),
you may need to clean the system as often as once every 6 months.
NOTE: Use a commercially available nickel-safe Ice Machine Cleaner
solution to remove scale deposits. Read and follow all handling information
on the cleaner bottle before completing the following steps:
1. Make sure that all the ice is off the evaporator. If ice is being formed,
wait until the cycle is completed, then press the machine’s ON/OFF
switch on the control panel.
2 Remove all ice from the storage bin.
3. Keep the ice machine connected to the water supply. Pour 8 oz. of a
nickel-safe Ice Machine Cleaner solution into the water trough. Then
press the ON/ OFF switch and the CLEAN button, initiating the wash
cycle. The machine will run in the Automatic Clean Mode.
4. Allow 30 minutes for proper cleaning. After cleaning, press the ON/OFF
switch again. Use a drainage tube on the front of the water trough to
drain off the waste water to a convenient container.
NOTE: Don’t drain off the waste water to the inside of the cabinet.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 (without Ice Machine Cleaning Solution) three
times to rinse the ice making system thoroughly.
NOTE: Ice Machine Cleaner Solution in the water bin during the rinse is
not needed.
6. Prepare a sanitizing solution made of 1 ounce of household bleach and
2 gallons of hot water (95ºF to 115ºF). Wipe the entire bin inside and
outside, covering the entire surface of the walls.
7. Fill a spray bottle with the sanitizing solution and spray all corners and
edges, making sure to cover all surfaces with the solution.
8. Allow the solution to be in contact for at least 3 minutes, then dry.
9 Repeat steps 1 to 5 with the sanitizing solution of step 6 replacing the
Nickel Safe ice machine cleaner solution and filling the water trough to
its maximum level.
10. Repeat step 5 to rinse the ice making system one more time
11. Press the ON/OFF button again. The machine will return to the regular
ice making mode. Discard the first batch of ice.

VACATION AND MOVING
If the ice machine will not be used for a long time, or is to be moved to
another place, it will be necessary to drain the system of water.
1. Unplug the ice machine or disconnect power.
2. Shut off the water supply at the main water source.
3. Disconnect the water supply line from the water inlet.
4. Take out the ice storage bin to remove any remaining ice and water. Dry
the bin.
5. Pull the drainage tube from the water trough
to drain off all water.
6. Leave the door open to allow for air
circulation and to prevent mold and mildew.
7. Leave water supply line and power cord
disconnected until ready to reuse.
8. If the ice machine location requires a drain
pump, disconnect drain pump power cord
and remove the remaining water (empty the tank).
