Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
ice maker.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Removing packaging materials
IMPORTANT: Do not remove any permanent instruction
labels inside your ice maker or the Tech Sheet that is
fastened behind the lower access panel.
• Remove tape and any labels from your ice maker before
using (except the model and serial number label).
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. For more information, see the "Important
Safety Instructions" 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 V4"(6mm) OD soft copper tubing with a
shut-off 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 100°F (38°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.

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 position of the rear
wheels. See the "Leveling the Ice Maker" section.
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,
Tools required
• Carpenter's level
• Adjustable wrench
• V4" socket wrench
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 ampere 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.
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.
Undercounter installation
If you are installing the ice maker under a countertop, then
you may need to adjust the height of the ice maker. The
adjustable rear wheels are preset to position 1 for a
cabinet opening height of 34" (86.4 cm).

3. For cutout height of 34_" (87.2 cm)
4. For cutout height of 34 ½" (87.6 cm)
To adjust the rear wheel height
1. Using a W' socket wrench, remove the five screws from
the rear access panel and carefully pull the panel away
from the drain hose.
2. Using a %" or adjustable wrench, remove the screw
that holds the rear wheel.
NOTE: Pushing up against the top back of the ice
maker takes some of the weight off of the wheels. This
makes it easier to remove the screws.
3,
Move the rear wheel and screw to a new position as
needed for your cabinet opening height. Tighten the
screw completely.
4,
Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to change the position of the
wheel on the other side.
5,
Replace the rear panel and screws. Be sure that the
drain tube is positioned in the opening provided.
6.
Use the front leveling legs to make sure the product is
level.
6
To adjust the front leveling legs
Your ice maker has two adjustable leveling legs to help you
steady the product and make sure it is level.
SUGGESTION: It is easier to adjust the leveling legs if you
have another person to assist you.
1. Place a carpenter's level on top of the product to see if
the ice maker is level from front to back and side to
side.
Push up on the top front of the ice maker, and then
locate the leveling screws that are on the bottom front
of the product.
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.
i,= I
Read all directions carefully before you begin.
IMPORTANT:
• All installations must be in accordance with local
plumbing codes requirements.
• Use copper tubing and check for leaks.
• Install copper tubing only in areas where temperatures
will remain above freezing.
Tools required:
• Standard screwdriver
• %6" and 1/2"open-end wrenches or two adjustable
wrenches
• 1/4"nut driver
• 1/4"drill bit
• Hand drill or electric drill properly grounded
NOTE: Your ice maker dealer has a kit available with a 1/4"
saddle-type shut-off 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 3Ad'(6mm) saddle valve which reduces
water flow and clogs more easily.
Use a carpenter's level to re-check the ice maker to
see that it is even from front to back and side to side. If
the ice maker is not level, repeat Steps 2 & 3. If the ice
maker is level, go to the "Connecting the Ice Maker to
a Water Source" section.
Freestanding installation
If you are not installing your ice maker under a countertop,
you will probably not need to adjust the rear wheel height.
Follow the steps outlined in "To adjust the front leveling
legs" earlier in this section.
NOTE: The ice maker should not wobble. Use shims to
add stability when needed.
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"to 1W' 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 grounded drill, drill a 1/4"(6 mm) hole in the
cold water pipe you have selected.
4.
Fasten shut-off valve to cold water pipe with pipe
clamp. Be sure outlet end is solidly in the 1/4-inch
drilled hole in the water pipe and that washer is under
the pipe clamp. Tighten packing nut. Tighten the pipe
clamp screws carefully 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 3A6"saddle-type
valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.
5.
Now you are ready to connect the copper tubing. Use
1A"(6mm) OD soft copper tubing for the cold water
supply.
Measure from the connection at the front of the ice
maker to the cold water pipe. Add 3 feet to ensure
that you have the proper length. This is the length of
W' (6mm) OD soft copper tubing you need 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.

NOTE: Always drain the water line before making the
final connection to the inlet of the water valve to
prevent possible water valve malfunction.
7.
Remove the two screws in the lower access panel and
the two screws in the base grille area of the front panel
support. Pull forward to remove the lower access
panel.
8.
Position the tubing so it can enter one of the two
access holes located at the right-hand rear of the

Connecting the drain
Gravity drain system
Connect the drain pump hose (provided with the product)
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 prevent 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 %" (1.6 cm) inside
diameter.
Drain lines must have a 1" (2.5 cm) drop per 48" (122
cm) of run (1/4"per foot [6mm per 30.5cm]) 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 11/2'' to 2"
PVC drain reducer installed directly below the outlet of
the drain tube as shown. You must maintain a 1" air
gap between the drain pump hose and the standpipe.
It may be desirable to insulate the drain line thoroughly
up to the drain inlet.
After ensuring that the drain system is adequate, follow
these steps to properly place the ice maker:
1. Plug in ice maker or reconnect power.
2. Re-check the ice maker to be sure that it is level. See
the "Leveling the Ice Maker" section.
3. Push the ice maker into position so that the ice maker
drain tube is positioned over the PVC drain reducer.

USING YOUR
ICE MAKER
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 like the floor, 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.
1. To start ice production, select ON. Allow 24 hours to
produce the first batch of ice, and discard the first three
batches of ice produced.
To start the normal ice making cycle, select ON.
Press the NORM ICE switch. Normal ice production
should produce approximately 25 Ibs. of ice in a 24-
hour period.
To start the maximum ice production cycle, select
ON. Press the TWICE ICE switch. The ice maker will
then produce approximately 50 Ibs. of ice in a 24-
hour period. This cycle should be selected when
you have an upcoming need for a lot of clear, clean
ice and the ice bin is low to empty.
2. To stop ice maker operation, select OFF.

@®0
NOTE: The CLEAN CYCLE setting is used whenever
solutions are circulated through the ice maker for cleaning.
Only the water pump and compressor operate at this
setting. See the "Cleaning the Ice Maker System" section.
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.
11
CARING FOR YOUR
ICE MAKER
Periodically inspect and clean the ice maker to keep it
operating at peak efficiency and to prevent premature
failure of system components.
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.
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.
6. Pour one bottle of solution into the water pan. Fill the
bottle twice with tap water and pour it into the water
pan,
7.
Push the selector switch to CLEAN. (See the "Setting
the Controls" section.) The light will turn on, indicating
that the cleaning cycle is in process. 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.
Note: Use one 16 oz. (473 ml) bottle of NU-CALGON _
Nickel Safe Ice Machine Cleaner.
1. Push the selector switch to OFE
2.
Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the ice to fall into the storage
bin. Remove all ice from the storage bin.
