SIDE VIEW
Unpacking
Remove packaging materials
IMPORTANT: Do not remove any permanent instruction labels or the data label on
your icemaker.
Remove tape and glue from your icemaker before using.
l 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.
l 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 icemaker.
Cleaning before use
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of your icemaker
before using it. See the "Interior cleaning" in the Cleaning and Maintenance section.
Location Requirements

l To ensure proper ventilation for your icemaker, the front of the unit must be
Normal operating ambient temperature should be between 50ºF to 100ºF.
Normal operating water temperature should be between 41ºF and 90ºF.
Operation of the icemaker for extended periods out side of these normal
temperature ranges may affect production capacity.
completely unobstructed. Allow more than 4” clearance at rear, 0.6” at top and sides
for proper air circulation. The installation should allow the ice maker to be pulled
forward for servicing if necessary.
l Choose a well ventilated area with temperatures above 50ºF and below 100ºF. This
unit MUST be installed in an area protected from the elements, such as wind, rain,
water spray or drips.
l Icemaker should not be located next to ovens, grills or other high heat resources.
l Installation of the ice maker requires a cold water supply inlet of 1/4 in. soft copper
tubing with a shut-off valve and a gravity-drain system.
l The ice maker requires a continuous water supply with a minimum pressure of
15psig and a static pressure not to exceed 80psig. The temperature of the water
feeding into the ice maker should be between 41ºF and 90ºF for proper operation.
l In general, it is always a good idea to filter the water. A water filter, if it is of the
proper type, can remove taste and odors as well as particles. Where water is very
hard, softened water may result in white, mushy cubes that stick together. Deionized
water is not recommend.
l The icemaker must be installed with all electrical, water and drain connections in
accordance with all state and local codes.
l The unit should be located on a firm and level surface. It is important for the
icemaker to be leveled in order to work properly.
l The plug must be accessible after installation.
l A standard electrical supply (115VAC, 60Hz, 15A), properly grounded in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, required.
l IMPORTANT: Do not kink or pinch the power supply cord between the icemaker
and wall.
Leveling the Ice Maker
It is important for the ice maker to be leveled in order to work properly. It can be raised
or lowered by rotating the plastic sheaths around each of the four rolling casters on the
bottom of the machine. If you find that the surface is not level, rotate the casters until the
ice maker becomes level. You may need to make several adjustments to level it. We
7
recommend using a carpenter’s level to check the machine.
Electrical hock Hazard
Never remove the ground line.
Never use an adapter.
Never use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or
electrical shock.
up
down
You will find that the casters make it easy for one person to move the machine. This is
useful for cleaning and sanitizing the surface on which the ice maker is installed because
it allows you to move the unit and have easy access to the surface to be cleaned.
IMPORTANT: Once you are ready to install it in a cabinet or directly on the floor, you
must adjust the feet to level the ice maker and lock the rollers. If the floor is level, just
revolve the two front feet to touch the floor. (See illustration.)
Electrical Requirements
Before you move your icemaker into its final location, it is important to make sure you
have the proper electrical connection:
A standard electrical supply (115VAC, 60Hz), properly grounded in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances, required.
It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your icemaker, be provided. Use a
receptacle which cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

Water Supply and Drain Connection
Wate r tap
Water inlet valve
Nut of water
draining hole
Drain pipe
Water inlet pipe
Floor drain
The water supply and drain should be roughed in and ready at the point of installation. A
wall outlet directly behind the ice machine will make installation easier.
IMPORTANT:
1. All installations must be in accordance with local plumbing code requirements.
2. Make certain that the pipes are not pinched or kinked or damaged during
installation.
3. Check for leaks after connection.
Tools required:
Open-end wrenches.
Phillips screwdriver
Connecting the water line:
1. Find a 1/2 in. to 3/4 in. vertical cold water pipe near the installation location. The
distance should be less than 6 feet. The water supply pipe provided with the icemaker
is about 6 feet.
2. A shut-off valve must be installed to the main water supply.
3. Connect the water supply pipe to the tap, the other end connect with the water inlet
valve tight. Tightly with hand.
4. Turn on main water supply and tap. Check for water supply connections leaks. Tighten
any connections (including connections at the valve) or nuts that leak.
Connecting the drain line:
A gravity drain system is used in this type icemaker, drain water to the drain line through
the provided drain water pipe with icemaker.
9
1. Find the floor drain near the icemaker. The distance should be less than 5 feet as the
length of the long drain water pipe provided with the icemaker is about 5 feet.
2. Find the drain outlet on the back of icemaker. Connect one end of the long drain pipe
to the drain out let of the machine, the other end to the floor drain.
3. All horizontal run of drain lines must have a fall of ¼” per foot. An air gap will
likely be required between the icemaker drain tube and the drain/waste receptacle. A
stand pipe with a tap below it would be acceptable for the drain/waste receptacle.
4. Pour 1 gallon of water into the ice storage bin to check leaks at all drain connections
and at the nut of the drain water hole. Tighten any connections or nuts that leak.
IMPORTANT: poor drainage will cause a high rate of ice melting in the ice storage bin.
Installation Types
This ice maker has been designed to be enclosed (as under a cabinet). It can also be
free-standing or built-in (sealed to the floor). In every case, there must be adequate air
space around the unit for ventilation purposes (see diagrams on page 6).

Ice harvest stage
Ice full stage
4. When ice collected in the bin more quantity to cover the ice-full sensor. The
icemaker will stop working. When you take away some ice make the sensor free, it
will restart to make ice.
IMPORTANT:
-Although the unit has been tested at factory, due to long-time transit and storage, the
first batch of cubes must be discarded.
-Never turn the water supply tap off when the icemaker is working.
How the machine Makes Ice
There are two distinct cycles: freeze and harvest.
The freeze cycle happens when water is flow to the evaporator surface. The harvest cycle
is when the ice is released and water enters the machine. A complete cycle takes about 20
minutes.
Freeze: During the freeze cycle the compressor is pumping refrigerant, the fan motor is
blowing air, and the water pump is circulating water. When the evaporator surface gets
setting temperature, the icemaker will stop the freeze cycle and begin the harvest.
Harvest: During the harvest cycle the compressor is still operating, but the water pump
have stopped. The hot gas valve have been energized; The valve open and warm up the
freezing surface, allowing the cubes to fall into the bin.
The freeze cycle will restart.

Larger ice setting:
1. Press and hold the “Adjust” button for at least
3 seconds. The unit will enter the Ice Size
Adjustment mode. The “ICE Making” LED
(green) will be blinking continuously during the
ice size adjustment. Release the button when the
LED blinks continuously to adjust the ice size.
2. While in the Ice Size Adjustment mode, press
the “Clean” button or the “Mode” button for the
desired ice size.
Smaller ice setting:
By pressing the “Clean” button, you can
decrease the size of the ice cubes. The “ICE
FULL” LED (red) will flash as you lower the ice
size and will finally be blinking at the setting of
smallest ice size.
By pressing the “Mode” button, you can increase the size of the ice cubes. The “ICE
HARVEST” LED (yellow) will flash as the larger size is set and will blink when the
setting of largest ice size has been reached.
After 10 seconds without any operation, the unit will automatically memorize the current
state and return to the previous mode.
NOTE:
• If during the ice size adjustment mode the “ICE FULL”, “ICE MAKING” and “ICE
HARVEST” LEDS blink all at once, this indicates that the unit is in the regular
(middle) setting of the ice size.
• When the machine is in the cleaning stage or ice full stage, the ice size adjustment
mode cannot be accessed.
How the machine uses the water
The icemaker begins with a fixed charge of
water that is contained in the water bin. As
the water is flow to the freezing evaporator
surface, the part of water that does not
contain mineral impurities will freeze and
stick to the ice cube molds. The water
containing impurities falls back into the
water bin. Gradually, during the freezing
portion of the ice making cycle, the water in
the water bin will become highly
13
concentrated with mineral impurities.
During the ice making process, fresh water enter into the water trough continuously as
the water in water trough is freeze continuously in the evaporator.
Normal Sounds
Your new icemaker may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new
sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor, walls 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.
l You will hear a swooshing sound when the water valve opens to fill the water bin for
each cycle.
l Ratting noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line, Items
stored on top of the icemaker can also make noises.
l The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
l Water running from the water bin to the evaporator plate may make a splashing
sound.
l Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a splashing sound.
l As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in
your icemaker.
l You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
l During the harvest cycle, you may hear the of ice cubes falling into the ice storing
bin.
l When your first start the icemaker, you may hear water running continuously. The
icemaker is programmed to run a rinse cycle before it begins to make ice.
Preparing the Icemaker for Long Storage
If the icemaker is not used for a long time, or is to be moved to another place, it will be
necessary to drain the system of water.
1. Shut off the water supply at the main water source.
2. Disconnect the water supply line from the water inlet valve.
3. Disconnect the drain pipe with the drain line of floor drain.
4. Allow the icemaker to run for an hour or more until all remaining ice cubes have been
ejected from the icemaker assembly.
5. Shut off the electric supply at main electrical power source.
6. Screw off the nut of the water drain hole at the back of the machine, drain out water
residue completely. (Do not loosen or screw off the nut at other times), then tighten the
nut after finishing.
14
7. Drop the door open to allow for circulation and prevent mold and mildew.
If the icemaker is left unused for a long time, before the
next use it must be thoroughly cleaned. Follow carefully
any instructions provided for cleaning or use of sanitizing
solution. Do not leave any solution inside the icemaker after
cleaning.
Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations,
make sure the power line of the unit is disconnected and the
water line is shut off (EXCEPTION: icemaker system’s
cleaning)
8. Leave water supply line and power cord disconnected until ready to reuse.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and
long life. The maintenance intervals listed are based on normal conditions. You may
want to shorten the intervals if you have pets, the unit is used outdoors, or other special
considerations.
What shouldn’t be done
Never keep anything in the ice storage bin that is notice: objects like wine or beer bottles
are not only unsanitary, but the labels may slip off and plug up the drain.
What should be kept clean
There are 4 things to keep clean:
1. The exterior. 2. The condenser.
3. The interior. 4. Water distribution tube.
Exterior Cleaning
The door and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water solution
such as 1 ounce of dishwashing liquid mixed with 2 gallons of warm water. Do not use
solvent based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe
with a soft clean towel to prevent water spotting.
15
Stainless steel models can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas and should be cleaned.
Condenser surface
DO NOT touch the condenser fins. The condenser fins are sharp and
can be easily damaged.
Clean stainless steel models with a mild detergent and warm water solution and a damp
cloth. Never use abrasive cleaning agents.
NOTICE: Stainless steel models exposed to chlorine gas and moisture, such as areas
with spas or swimming pools, may have some discoloration of the stainless steel.
Discoloration from chlorine gas is normal.
Condenser Cleaning
A dirty or clogged condenser prevents proper airflow,
reduces ice making capacity, and causes higher than
recommended operating temperatures that may lead to
component failure. Have the condenser cleaned at least
once every three mouths.
1. Unplug the icemaker or disconnect power.
2. Remove the 3 screws at the bottom of the front cover. Grasp the lower edge of the
front cover at the right and left sides, raise it a little then pull down.
Note: Do not use too much force, as the wire leads connected to the power switch
can be inadvertently disconnected.
3. Locate the condenser surface. Remove dirt and lint from the condenser fins and the
unit compartment with a brush attachment on a vacuum cleaner.
4. Reassembly the front cover.
5. Plug in the icemaker or reconnect power.
Interior Cleaning
The ice storage bin should be sanitized occasionally. Clean the bin before the icemaker is
used first time and reused after stopping some period. It is usually convenient to sanitize
the bin after the ice making system has been cleaned, and the storage bin is empty.
1. Disconnect power to the unit.
2. Open the door and with a clean cloth, wipe down the interior with a sanitizing solution
made of 1 ounce of household bleach or chlorine and 2 gallons of hot water (95ºF to
115 ºF).
16
3. Rinse thoroughly with clear water. The waste water will be drained off through the
DO NOT use solvent-based cleaning agents or abrasives on the
interior. These cleaners may transmit taste to the ice cubes, or
damage or discolor the interior.
drain pipe.
4. Reconnect power to the unit.
The ice scoop should be washed regularly, wash it just like any other food container.
Water Distribution Tube cleaning
When you find that the ice cubes are incompletely formed or the output of ice cubes is
low, the water distribution tube may be blocked. Set the power switch to OFF. Unscrew
the six screws holding the top panel and remove the panel. You will see the water
distribution tube. Rotate the water distribution tube so that the holes in it are facing up.
Using a toothpick or similar tool, dredge the holes, then rotate the water distribution tube
back to its original position. If the tube is badly blocked, clean it as follows:
1. Shut off the water and power supplies.
2. Disconnect the water hose from the distribution tube.
3. Lift one side, remove the distribution tube.
4. With a brush, clean the tube with a dilute solution of warm water and a mild
detergent such as dishwashing liquid. After removing the dirt and lint from the
surface, rinse the tube with clean water.
5. Replace the distribution tube.
6. Reconnect the water supply and power supply lines.
7. Re-attach the top panel.
Ice-Making System Cleaning
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 on how hard
your water is or how effective your filtration may be. With hard water of 15 to 20 grains/
gallon (4 to 5 grains/liter), you may need to clean the system as often as every 3 months.
1. Set the power switch to OFF.
2. Remove all ice cubes from the storage bin.
3. Remove the screws in the front cover, push forward to remove the front cover.
