INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE
Select Location
The proper location will ensure peak performance of your appliance. We recommend a location where the unit will be out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. To ensure your product performs to specications, the recom­mended installation location temperature range is from 55 to 115°F (13 to 46°C).
Cabinet Clearance
Ventilation is required from the bottom front of the appli­ance. Keep this area open and clear of any obstructions. Adjacent cabinets and counter top can be installed around the appliance as long as the front grille remains unobstruct­ed.
Front Grille, keep this area open.
Front Leveling Legs
Figure 2
Rear
Leveling
Legs
Leveling Legs
Adjustable legs at the front and rear corners of the appli-
ance should be set so the unit is rmly positioned on the oor and level from side to side and front to back. The
overall height of your appliance may be adjusted between the minimum, 333⁄4" (85.7 cm), by turning the leveling leg in (CW ) and the maximum, 343⁄4" (88.3 cm) by turning the leveling leg out (CCW ↶).
!
Front Grille
Do not obstruct the front grille. The openings within the
front grille allow air to ow through the condenser heat ex­changer. Restrictions to this air ow will result in increased
energy usage and loss of cooling capacity. For this reason it is important this area not be obstructed and the grille openings kept clean. Lynx Grills does not recommend the
use of a custom made grille as air ow may be restricted.
(See Figure 2).
To adjust the leveling legs, place the appliance on a solid
surface and protect the oor beneath the legs to avoid scratching the oor. With the assistance of another person,
lean the appliance back to access the front leveling legs. Raise or lower the legs to the required dimension by turning the legs. Repeat this process for the rear by tilting the appli­ance forward using caution. On a level surface check the appliance for levelness and adjust accordingly.
The front grille screws may be loosened and the grille ad­justed to the desired height. When adjustment is complete tighten the two front grille screws. (See Figure 5).

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
• Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. They can be hazardous and can degrade product performance.
• This appliance should not, under any circumstanc­es, be installed to an un-grounded electrical supply.
• Do not remove the grounding prong from the power cord. (See Figure 3).
• Do not use an adapter. (See Figure 4 ).
• Do not splash or spray water from a hose on the appliance. Doing so may cause an electrical shock, which may result in severe injury or death.
Electrical Connection
A grounded 115 volt, 15 amp dedicated circuit is required.
Figure 4
This product is factory equipped with a power supply cord that has a three-pronged, grounded plug. It must be plugged into a mating grounding type receptacle in accor­dance with the National Electrical Code and applicable lo­cal codes and ordinances (see Figure 6). If the circuit does not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility and obligation of the customer to provide the proper power supply. The third ground prong should not, under any cir­cumstances, be cut or removed.

INSTALLING THE WATER SUPPLY MODEL LM24RFEFC WITH OPTIONAL ICE-MAKER KIT
NOTE
An optional ice-maker kit (part number S42418151) is avail­able for model LM24REFC which includes all of the neces­sary parts for installation. The kit can be obtained from Lynx Grills customer service by calling (888)-289-5969.
Water Supply
Water line from water valve to ice-maker
!
Observe and follow all local building codes when installing this appliance.
Use 1⁄4" copper tubing for your water supply which is avail- able at any local hardware or plumbing supply store. Bend the 1⁄4" copper tubing to suit your installation being sure not to kink the tubing. Purchase enough copper tubing length and coil it behind the unit to form a "service loop" which will allow the appliance to be pulled out from the installation for servicing or cleaning. Connect the copper tubing to the "top side" of a cold water pipe to prevent the ice-maker from plugging with sediment.
A shutoff valve is recommended on the water supply line to ease servicing the appliance. NOTE: A SELF-PIERCING TYPE VALVE IS NOT RECOMMENDED as they are prone to clogging with sediment which will create pressure drop reducing the water supply to the unit.
Connect the copper tubing water supply to the brass union
with the compression nut tting provided. (See Figure 7).
Water pressure must be at a minimum of 20 psi for proper operation and a maximum of 120 psi.

NOTE
Do not use any thread sealers on these water line t­tings.
Reverse osmosis, softened water, and de-ionized water are not recommended as they will adversely affect the quality of the ice.
OPTIONAL ICE-MAKER OPERATION
!
The water supply to the ice-maker must be turned on prior to turning the ice-maker on. Failure to do so will cause rapid dry cycling of the ice-maker mold heater resulting in temperature control issues in the freezer compartment.
Ice-maker operation
The unit must be installed level for proper ice-maker operation.
The shutoff arm wire must be down in its lowest posi­tion for the ice-maker to operate. (See Figure 8).
When the freezer section and ice-maker unit has suf-
ciently cooled, the ice-maker will harvest ice cubes
automatically.
When the ice bucket is full, the ice-maker will automati­cally shut off.
You may manually stop the ice-maker by raising the shut off arm to the locking position at the up most posi­tion. (See Figure 8).
NOTE
It is recommended the ice-maker is shut off when remov­ing the bucket, or ice may be dispensed onto the freezer
compartment oor.
Figure 8
Arm down, ice-maker
will operate
Arm up, stops operation
If the ice is not used regularly, it will clump together with time. For best ice results, discard ice in the bin as required and allow the ice-maker to make a new fresh batch of ice. Shut-off the ice-maker by raising the shut-off arm before removing the bucket.

If necessary to gain clearance inside the rough-in opening a hole can be cut through the adjacent cabi­net and the power cord routed through this hole to a power outlet. Another way to increase the available opening depth is to recess the power outlet into the rear wall to gain the thickness of the power cord plug. Not all recessed outlet boxes will work for this applica­tion as they are too narrow, but a recessed outlet box equivalent to Arlington #DVFR1W is recommended for this application, (see Figure 10).

CARE AND CLEANING AND ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Start-Up After Long-Term Storage
1. If stored outside, it is recommended that the unit again be thoroughly inspected per the storage instructions above to address any dirt or debris from the weather and/or animals/insects.
2. Connect the unit to electrical power and the water sup­ply.
3. Turn unit on and conrm your desired control settings.
4. Allow 24-hrs for the unit to stabilize before loading contents.
Soak up water from plastic drain pan if necessary
Solenoid cover and 3 screws

Remove screws around perimeter of access cover.
!
The water supply to the ice-maker must be turned on prior to turning the ice-maker on. Failure to do so will cause rapid dry cycling of the ice-maker mold heater resulting in temperature control issues in the freezer compartment.

Energy saving tips
The following suggestions will minimize the cost of operating your refrigeration appliance.
1. Do not install your appliance next to a hot appliance (cooker, dishwasher, etc.), heating air duct, or other heat sources.
2. Install product out of direct sunlight.
3. Ensure the front grille vents at front of appliance be­neath door are not obstructed and kept clean to allow ventilation for the refrigeration system to expel heat.
4. Plug your appliance into a dedicated power circuit. (Not shared with other appliances).
5. When initially loading your new product, or whenever large quantities of warm contents are placed within refrigerated storage compartment, minimize door openings for the next 12 hours to allow contents to pull down to compartment set temperature.
White collar
Figure 21a
To disconnect the water outlet line: Push up on the white collar and pull the plastic water line from the bottom of the water valve.
To reconnect the water outlet line: Simply insert the plas­tic tubing into the white collar and push until it stops (about
1
2", 12 mm, of water line will enter the valve).
6. Maintaining a relatively full storage compartment will require less appliance run time than an empty compart­ment.
7. Ensure door closing is not obstructed by contents stored in your appliance.
8. Allow hot items to reach room temperature before plac­ing in product.
9. Minimize door openings and duration of door openings.
10. Use the warmest temperature control set temperature that meets your personal preference and provides the proper storage for your stored contents.
11. When on vacation or away from home for extended pe-
riods, set the appliance to warmest acceptable tem­ perature for the stored contents.
12. Set the control to the “off” position if cleaning the
appliance requires the door to be open for an extended period of time.

STAINLESS STEEL MAINTENANCE OBTAINING SERVICE
Background
Stainless steel does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel, but it is not stain or corrosion proof. Stain­less steels can discolor or corrode if not maintained prop­erly.
Stainless steels differ from ordinary carbon steels by the amount of chromium present. It is this chromium that
provides an invisible protective lm on the surface called chrome-oxide. This protective chrome-oxide lm on the
surface can be damaged or contaminated, which may result in discoloration, staining, or corrosion of the base metal.
Care & Cleaning
Routine cleaning of the stainless steel surfaces will serve to greatly extend the life of your product by removing contami­nants. This is especially important in coastal areas which can expose the stainless to severe contaminants such as halide salts, (sodium chloride).
It is strongly recommended to periodically inspect and thor­oughly clean crevices, weld points, under gaskets, rivets, bolt heads, and any locations where small amounts of liquid could collect, become stagnant, and concentrate contami­nates. Additionally, any mounting hardware that is showing signs of corrosion should be replaced.
Frequency of cleaning will depend upon the installation location, environmental, and usage conditions.
Choosing a Cleaning Product
The choice of a proper cleaning product is ultimately that of the consumer, and there are many products from which to choose. Depending upon the type of cleaning and the degree of contamination, some products are better than others.
After the stainless surfaces have been thoroughly cleaned, a good quality car wax may be applied to help maintain the
nish.
NOTE
Stainless steel products should never be installed, or stored in close proximity to chlorine chemicals.
Whichever cleaning product you chose, it should be used in strict accordance with the instructions of the cleaner manufacturer.
If Service is Required
If the product is within the rst year warranty period please contact your dealer or call Lynx Grills Customer Service at 888.289.5969 for directions on how to obtain warranty coverage in your area.
If the product is outside the rst year warranty period, Lynx Grills Customer Service can provide recommen­dations of service centers in your area.
In all correspondence regarding service, be sure to give the service/model number, serial number, and proof of purchase.
Try to have information or description of nature of the problem, how long the appliance has been running, the room temperature, and any additional information that may be helpful in quickly solving the problem.
Table "A" is provided for recording pertinent information regarding your product for future reference.
Typically the most effective and efcient means for routine
cleaning of most stainless steel products is to give the sur­faces a brisk rubbing with a soft cloth soaked in warm water and a gentle detergent, or mild mixture of ammonia. Rub­bing should, to the extent possible, follow the polish lines of the steel, and always insure thorough rinsing after cleaning.
Although some products are called "stainless steel clean­ers," some may contain abrasives which could scratch the
surface, (compromising the protective chrome-oxide lm),
and some many contain chlorine bleach which will dull, tarnish or discolor the surface if not completely removed.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Before You Call for Service
If the appliance appears to be malfunctioning, read through this manual rst. If the problem persists, check the trouble­shooting guide below. Locate the problem in the guide and refer to the cause and its remedy before calling for service. The problem may be something very simple that can be solved without a service call. However, it may be required
to contact your dealer or a qualied service technician.
!
In the unlikely event you lose cooling in your unit, do not unplug the product from the electric supply, but do call
a qualied service technician immediately. It is possible
that the loss of cooling capacity is a result of excessive frost build-up on the evaporator cooling coil. In this case, removing power to the unit will result in the melting of this excessive quantity of ice, which could generate melt water that exceeds the capacity of the defrost drain system and could result in water damage to your home. The end-user will be ultimately responsible for any water damage caused by prematurely turning the unit off without appropriately managing the excess water run-off.
NOTE
Your product has an automatic defrost feature that utilizes an electric heater element. Periodically during defrost you may observe the following:
Water dripping and running sounds as a result of the frost melt.
Sizzling and popping sounds from water dripping on the heater element.
A faint reddish glow in the freezer compartment from the electric heater element.
These are all “normal” operating characteristics related to refrigeration product incorporating automatic defrost. They do not represent any product fault or safety issue.
