!
CAUTION
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).

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
!
CAUTION
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
!
CAUTION
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

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.

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 efcient 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 qualied service technician.
!
CAUTION
In the unlikely event you lose cooling in your unit, do not
unplug the product from the electric supply, but do call
a qualied 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.
!
