WARNING

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.

Location Requirements

■ To ensure proper ventilation for your ice maker, the front side

must be completely unobstructed. The ice maker 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

¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) OD soft copper tubing with a shutoff

valve or a supply line Part Number 8212547RB, and on ice makers that require the installation of a drain pump, an approved drain pump, Part Number 1901A only, 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 and 90°F (21ºC and 32°C).

■ The ice maker must be installed in an area sheltered 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:

■ Check that the power supply cord is not damaged, or

pinched or kinked between the ice maker and the cabinet.

■ Check that the water supply line is not damaged, or

pinched or kinked between the ice maker and the cabinet.

■ Check that the drain line (on some models) is not

damaged, or pinched or kinked between the ice maker and the cabinet.

■ 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.”

Electrical Requirements

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) equipped 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

The ice maker must be grounded. The ice maker is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3 prong grounding plug. 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.

B. Floor level

Water Supply Requirements

A B

Check that the water supply lines are insulated against freezing conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can increase water pressure and damage your ice maker or home. Damage from frozen supply lines is not covered by the warranty.

A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa) is required to operate the ice maker. If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Reverse Osmosis Water Supply

IMPORTANT:

■ A reverse osmosis water filtration system is not

recommended for ice makers that have a drain pump installed.

■ For gravity drain systems only.

■ 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).

NOTE: The reverse osmosis system must provide 1 gal. (3.8 L) of water per hour to the ice maker for proper ice maker operation. If a reverse osmosis system is desired, only a whole-house capacity reverse osmosis system, capable of maintaining the steady water supply required by the ice maker, is recommended. Faucet capacity reverse osmosis systems are not able to maintain the steady water supply required by the ice maker.

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.

■ ⁷⁄₁₆" and ¹⁄₂" open-end wrenches or two adjustable wrenches

■ ¹⁄₄" nut driver

Leveling

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

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 whether 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.

ICE MAKER USE

How Your Ice Maker Works

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 OFF.

To purchase a replacement water filter, see “Accessories.” Replace the disposable water filter when indicated on the water

filter status display or at least every 9 months. If the ice making rate decreases before the Replace Filter light illuminates, then replace the filter.

1. Locate the water filter compartment in the right-hand side of the control housing. See Step 3 in the “Install Water Filter” section.

2. Turn the water filter counterclockwise (to the left), and pull it straight out of the compartment.

NOTE: There may be some water in the filter. Some spilling may occur.

3. Install the replacement water filter by following steps 2 through 5 in the “Install the Water Filter” section.

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.

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.

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.

Using the Controls

1. To start ice production, press ON/OFF.

2. To stop ice maker operation, press ON/OFF.

NOTES:

■ Pressing the On/Off button does not shut off power to the

ice maker.

■ Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the

first 2 batches produced.

Acceler-Ice Mode

Select the Acceler-Ice feature when you have an upcoming need for a large amount of ice and the ice bin is low or empty. Acceler-Ice mode will produce a greater quantity of ice in a 24hour period.

■ Press ACCELER-ICE while the ice maker is on. The indicator

light will illuminate.

■ Press ACCELER-ICE again to turn off the Acceler-Ice feature.

The indicator light will turn off.

■ The Acceler-Ice mode will be on when you first turn on the

product. It will turn off after 24 hours. To turn Acceler-Ice back on, press ACCELER-ICE.

Clean

It is recommended that you clean the ice maker when the “Cleaning Needed” light is illuminated or 9 months has elapsed or ice production decreases significantly. To clean your ice maker, see “Ice Maker System” in the “Cleaning” section.

Door Ajar Alarm

The Door Ajar Alarm feature sounds an alarm when the ice maker door is open for 5 minutes. The alarm will repeat every 2 minutes. Close the door to turn off. The feature then resets and will reactivate when the door is left open again for 5 minutes.

Normal Sounds

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 pan 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 pan

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.

■ If the ice maker is connected to a water supply pressure in

excess of 60 psi, you may hear a loud sound during water filling associated with the flow of water through the inlet valve. Call a licensed, qualified plumber to determine the best method to reduce the supply water pressure (50 psi is recommended).

ICE MAKER CARE

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard Disconnect power before cleaning. Replace all parts and panels before operating. Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

Cleaning

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 maintain 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 9 months.

Ice Maker Operation

PROBLEM RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS

Ice Maker Will Not Operate Check that it is plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Check that the control is turned on. See “Using the Controls.” Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. NOTE: If problems continue, contact an electrician. Room temperature must be above 55°F (13°C). Otherwise, bin thermostat may sense cold room

temperature and shut off even though the bin is not full of ice. The ice maker may not restart once it does shut off.

If there was a large amount of water added to the ice maker, wait a few minutes for the drain pump to clear. If there is still water in the bin, check to see whether the drain hose is kinked.

For models with drain pumps, check that the drain hose is not damaged, or kinked or pinched between cabinet and ice maker. Use only approved drain pump kit, Part Number 1901A.

Ice Maker Seems Noisy Is the water in the reservoir overflowing? This is normal. This overflow helps to purge minerals that

were removed from the water during the ice making process. Is there a “whooshing” sound? Check the following things:

■ Make sure that the water supply is hooked up and turned on.

■ Make sure that the drain cap is tight and the water drain pan pump is securely attached to the

water pan.

Is there ice between the evaporator plate and the cutting grid? Check that the ice maker is level. See “Leveling.” If the ice maker is level, and the problem persists, run a cleaning cycle. See “Cleaning.”

If the ice maker is connected to a water supply pressure in excess of 60 psi, you may hear a loud sound during water filling associated with the flow of water through the inlet valve. Call a licensed, qualified plumber to determine the best method to reduce the supply water pressure (50 psi is recommended).

Ice Production

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard Disconnect power before servicing. Replace all parts and panels before operating. Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

PROBLEM RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS

Ice Maker Runs But Produces No Ice

Ice Maker Runs But Produces Very Little Ice

Check that the control is turned on. Check that the water supply is properly connected and turned on. If the drain cap is loose, water will empty from the water pan, and you will have either thin ice or no

ice. Tighten the drain cap. Clean the drain tube. Check that there are no kinks in the drain line.

Is the accelerated ice production feature turned on? This feature increases the ice production rate to provide you with more ice in the same amount of time. See “Using the Controls.”

Room temperatures of more than 90ºF (32ºC) will normally reduce ice production. Dirt or lint may be blocking the airflow through the condenser. See “Condenser” in the “Cleaning”

section. If there is white scale buildup in the ice maker’s water or freezing system, you should clean the ice

maker. See “Interior Components” in the “Cleaning” section. If the drain cap is loose, water will empty from the water pan, and you will have either thin ice or no

ice. Tighten the drain cap. Ensure that the cutter grid is securely in place and that its harness plug is connected. See “Interior
