A.Recommended location for electrical

andplumbing fixtures

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 position of the rear wheels. See "Leveling."

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 3 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 1/4"(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 100°F (38°C). Best results are obtained between 70°F (21 °C) and 90°F (320C).

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.

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 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.

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 required

• Carpenter's level

• Adjustable wrench NOTE: 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 ifthe ice maker is level from front to back and side to side.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Follow the instructions in Step 3 to change the height of the legs.

6. Use a carpenter's level to recheck 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 2-5. If the ice maker is level, go to the "Water Supply Connection" section.

Tools required

• Flat-blade screwdriver

• 7/16"and 1/2"open-end wrenches or 2 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"

(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 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and clogs more easily.

Connecting the water line

Turn off main water supply. Turn on nearest faucet long enough to clear line of water.

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 grounded 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 in the 1/4"(6.35 mm) 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 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.

....................A

H ..............................B

Read all directions carefully 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.

Connecting the drain

Gravity drain system

Connect the ice maker drain to your drain in accordance with all state and local codes and ordinances. Ifthe 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 %" (15,88 mm) inside diameter.

• Drain lines must have a 1" drop per 48" (2.54 cm drop per 122 cm) of run or 1/4"drop per 12" (6.35 mm per 30.48 cm) 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"(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 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. Recheck the ice maker to be sure that it is level. See "Leveling."

3. Push the ice maker into position so that the ice maker drain tube is positioned over the PVC drain reducer.

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.

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

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.

ICE MAKER USE

ow Axr )ce ker

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 OFE

• 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

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.

1. To start ice production, press ON. Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice, and discard the first 3 batches of ice produced.

• To start the normal ice making cycle, press ON. Press the

NORM ICE switch. Normal ice production should produce approximately 25 Ibs (11.4 kg) of ice in a 24-hour period.

• To start the maximum ice production cycle, press ON.

Press the TWICE ICE switch. The ice maker will then produce approximately 50 Ibs (22.7 kg) 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, press OFE

2 LEVEL iCE CAPACITY ' 3 CYCLE . SELF CLEANING

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.

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.

The water containing the rejected minerals is drained after each freezing cycle.

Fresh water enters the machine for the next ice making cycle.

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.

@®@

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 "Cleaning."

ICE MAKER CARE

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 prevent 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.

_¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢_

Ice Maker System

Condenser

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 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.

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 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.

5. Read and follow all handling information on the cleaner bottle before completing the steps below. Use one 16 oz (473 mL)

bottle of NU-CALGON* Nickel Safe Ice Machine Cleaner.

6. Pour one bottle of solution into the water pan. Fill the bottle twice with tap water and pour it into the water pan.

A dirty or clogged condenser:

• Prevents proper airflow.

• Reduces ice making capacity.

• Causes higher than recommended operating temperatures which may lead to component failure.
