Cleaning Before Use
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your ice maker before using it. See the cleaning instructions in
the "Ice Maker Care" section.
To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front side must be completely unobstructed. The unit may be closed-in on the top and three sides, but the installation should allow the ice maker to be pulled forward for servicing if necessary.
Installation of the ice maker requires a cold water supply inlet of W' (6.35 mm) OD soft copper tubing with a shutoff valve and either a gravity-drain system or condensate pump to carry the water to an existing drain.
Choose a well ventilated area with temperatures above 55°F (13°C) and below 110°F (43°C). Best results are obtained between 70°F (21°C) and 90°F (32°C).
This unit must be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind, rain, water spray, or drip.
When installing the ice maker under a counter, follow the recommended opening dimensions shown. Place electrical and plumbing fixtures in the recommended location as
shown.
NOTES:
Be sure the power supply cord is not pinched between the ice maker and the cabinet.
Be sure the water supply line is not pinched between the ice maker and the cabinet.
Be sure the drain line (on some models) is not pinched between the ice maker and the cabinet.

B.Floor level
You should choose a location where the floor is even. It is important for the ice maker to be level in order to work
properly. If needed, you can adjust the height of the ice maker by changing the height of the leveling legs. See "Leveling."
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):
Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.
If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Before you move your ice maker into its final location, it is important to make sure you have the proper electrical
connection: A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp electrical supply,
properly grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, is required.
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your ice maker, be provided. Use a receptacle which cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.
IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected outlet, nuisance tripping of the power supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Ice quality may be affected. If nuisance tripping has occurred, and if the condition of the ice appears poor, dispose of it.
Recommended grounding method
For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating, 3 prong, grounding-type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility of the customer to have a properly grounded, 3 prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
It is important for the ice maker to be level in order to work properly. Depending upon where you install the ice maker, you may need to make several adjustments to level it. You may also use the leveling legs to lower the height of the ice maker for
undercounter installations.
Tools needed:
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
9" level
Adjustable wrench
NOTE: It is easier to adjust the leveling legs if you have another person to assist you.
1. Move the ice maker to its final location. NOTE: If this is a built-in installation, move the ice maker as
close as possible to the final location.
2. Place the level on top of the product to see if the ice maker is level from front to back and side to side.
3. Push up on the top front of the ice maker, and then locate the leveling screws that are on the bottom front of the ice maker.
4. Using an adjustable wrench, change the height of the legs as follows:
Turn the leveling leg to the right to lower that side of the
ice maker.
Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of the ice
maker.
NOTE: The ice maker should not wobble. Use shims to add stability when needed.
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the ice maksn If you hays questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a
reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the ice maker needs to be between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa). The reverse osmosis system must provide 1 gal. (3.79 L) of water per hour to the ice maker for proper ice maker operation.
5. Push up on the top rear of the ice maker and locate the leveling legs that are on the bottom rear of the ice maker.
6. Follow the instructions in Step 4 to change the height of the legs.
7. Use the level to recheck the ice maker to see that it is even from front to back and side to side. Ifthe ice maker is not
level, repeat steps 2 to 5. If the ice maker is level, go to the "Connect Water Supply" section.
Read all directions thoroughly before you begin. IMPORTANT:
Plumbing shall be installed in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and any local codes and
ordinances.
Use copper tubing and check for leaks.
Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures will remain above freezing.
Tools needed:
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation. Read and follow the instructions provided with any tools listed
here.
Flat-blade screwdriver
7A6"and 1/2"open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches
1/4"nut driver
¼" drill bit
Cordless drill
NOTE: Your ice maker dealer has a kit available with a 1/4" (6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing.
Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes. Do not use a piercing-type or s/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
Connecting the water line
1.
Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.
2.
Find a 1/2"(12.70 mm) to 11/4'' (3.18 cm) vertical cold water pipe near the ice maker.
NOTE: Horizontal pipe will work, but the following procedure must be followed: Drill on the top side of the pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from the drill. This also keeps normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
3. Using a cordless drill, drill a 1/4"(6.35 mm) hole in the cold water pipe you have selected.
4. Fasten shutoff valve to cold water pipe with pipe clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly inthe 1/4"(6.35 mm) drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp screws slowly and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal. Do not overtighten the pipe clamp or you may crush cold water pipe if it is soft copper tubing. Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle-type valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
5. Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing. Use 1/4" (6.35 mm) OD soft copper tubing for the cold water supply.
Ensure that you have the proper length needed for the
job. Be sure both ends of the copper tubing are cut square.
Slip compression sleeve and compression nut on copper
tubing as shown. Insert end of tubing into outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.

6.
Place the free end of the tubing into a container or sink, and turn on main water supply and flush out tubing until water is clear. Turn off shutoff valve on the water pipe.
NOTE: Always drain the water line before making the final connection to the inlet of the water valve to avoid possible
water valve malfunction.
7.
Bend the copper tubing to meet the water line inlet which is located on the back of the ice maker cabinet as shown.
Leave a coil of copper tubing to allow the ice maker to be pulled out of the cabinet or away from the wall for service.

Connecting the Drain
Gravity Drain System
Connect the ice maker drain to your drain in accordance with all state and local codes and ordinances. If the ice maker is
provided with a gravity drain system, follow these guidelines when installing drain lines. This will help keep water from flowing back into the ice maker storage bin and potentially flowing onto the floor causing water damage.
Drain lines must have a minimum of %" (15.88 mm) inside diameter.
Drain lines must have a 1" drop per 48" (2.54 cm drop per 122 cm) of run or _/4"drop per 12" (6.35 mm per 30.48 cm) of run and must not have low points where water can settle.
The floor drains must be large enough to accommodate drainage from all drains.
The ideal installation has a standpipe with a 1//2" (3.81 cm) to 2" (5.08 cm) PVC drain reducer installed directly below the
outlet of the drain tube as shown. You must maintain a 1" (2.54 cm) air gap between the drain hose and the
standpipe.
It may be desirable to insulate the drain line thoroughly up to the drain inlet.

Your new ice maker may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be
concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces such as floors, walls and cabinets can make the sounds
seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them.
You will hear a buzzing sound when the water valve opens to fill the water reservoir for each cycle.
Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on top of the ice maker can also
make noises.
The high-efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high pitched sound.
Water running over the evaporator plate may make a splashing sound.
Water running from the evaporator plate to the water reservoir may make a splashing sound.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your ice maker.
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
During the harvest cycle, you may hear a "thud" when the ice sheet slides from the evaporator onto the cutter grid.
When you first start the ice maker, you may hear water running continuously. The ice maker is programmed to run a rinse cycle before it begins to make ice.
ICEMAKERUSE
When you first start your ice maker, the water pan will fill and the system will rinse itself before starting to make ice. The rinsing process takes about 5 minutes.
Under normal operating conditions, the ice maker 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 ice maker is turned off, be sure to set the ice maker control to OFR
The ice maker 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.
The Ice Making Process
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 sheet of ice with a low mineral content.
1. To start the normal ice making cycle, press ON.
2. To stop ice maker operation, press and hold OFR On Control Clean
Off Lock Service Re s et
O-O-Q-O
NOTE:
Pressing the ON/OFF switch does not shut off power to the ice maker.
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the first batch produced.
Control Lock
The control panel can be turned off for easy cleaning or to avoid unintentional activation by children or small pets.
NOTE: The control lock feature does not shut off power to the ice maker or to the ice maker bin light. It simply deactivates the control panel.
1. To lock the control panel, press and hold the Control Lock button until the indicator appears.
2. To unlock the control panel, press and hold the Control Lock button until the indicator disappears.
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 ice maker 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.
Service
The service light indicates when service is needed. If the service light turns on, turn the ice maker off and back on. If the service light turns on again, call for service.
Clean/Reset
The Cleaning/Reset Status light will help you know when it is time to clean your ice maker. The light will change to yellow. This tells
you it is almost time to clean your ice maker. It is recommended that you clean the ice maker when the status light changes to red
OR ice production decreases significantly. To clean your ice maker, see "Ice Maker System."
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.

ICEMAKERCARE
The ice making system and the air cooled condenser need to be cleaned regularly for the ice maker to operate at peak efficiency and to avoid premature failure of system components. See the "Ice Maker System" and the "Condenser" sections.
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. For products with a stainless steel exterior, use a clean sponge or
soft cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners. Do not use chlorine bleach on the
stainless steel surfaces.
Ice Maker System
Minerals that are removed from 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 you need to clean the system depends upon how hard your water is. With hard water of 15 to 20 grains/gal. (4 to 5 grains/liter), you may need to clean the system as often as every 6 months.
NOTE: Use one 16 oz (473 mL) bottle of approved ice maker cleaner. To order, call f-800-JENNAIR and ask for Part Number
4396808. In Canada, call f-800-807-6777.

7. Press and hold the CLEAN button. See "Using the Controls." The light will blink, indicating that the cleaning cycle is in process. When the indicator light turns green (approximately 70 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. Look for any cleaning solution left in the water pan. If cleaning solution drains from the water pan, you should run the clean cycle again. Be sure to replace the drain cap securely on the water pan. If the drain cap is loose, water will empty from the water pan and you will have either thin ice
or no ice.
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.
Condenser
A dirty or clogged condenser:
