WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK,

OR INJURY WHEN USING YOUR ICE MAKER, FOLLOW THESE BASIC PRECAUTIONS:

 READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE ICE MAKER.  NEVER CLEAN ICE MAKER PARTS WITH FLAMMABLE FLUIDS. THE FUMES CAN CREATE A FIRE HAZARD

OR EXPLOSION.

 DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR ANY OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF

THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE. THE FUMES CAN CREATE A FIRE HAZARD OR EXPLOSION.



DANGER: RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

CHILD ENTRAPMENT AND SUFFOCATION ARE NOT PROBLEMS OF THE PAST. JUNKED OR ABANDONED APPLIANCES ARE STILL DANGEROUS. . . EVEN IF THEY WILL “JUST SIT IN THE GARAGE A FEW DAYS.”

 BEFORE YOU THROW AWAY YOUR OLD ICE MAKER: TAKE OFF THE DOOR. LEAVE THE SHELVES IN

PLACE SO THAT CHILDREN MAY NOT EASILY CLIMB INSIDE.

 NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN TO OPERATE, PLAY WITH, OR CRAWL INSIDE THE APPLIANCE.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

 ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD 

IMPROPER USE OF THE GROUNDED PLUG CAN RESULT IN THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IF THE POWER

CORD IS DAMAGED, HAVE IT REPLACED THROUGH AN AUTHORIZED SUMMIT PRODUCTS SERVICE CENTER.

Before Using Your Ice Maker

 Remove the exterior and interior packing.  Check to be sure you have all of the following parts:

1 removable ice bin 1 plastic scoop 25 ft. hose 1 instruction manual

 CAUTION: After unpacking you MUST allow this appliance to stand upright for at least 2 hours to

allow the lubricant and refrigerant to drain back into the compressor and stabilize. Failure to do so may adversely affect performance and the lifetime of the unit.

 Clean the interior surface with lukewarm water using a soft cloth.

Installation of Your Ice Maker

 This appliance is designed to be either free-standing or built-in (fully recessed). If free standing, the

unit should have at least 4” of clearance at both sides, at the top and at the back to allow for adequate ventilation. If it is built-in, leave at least 3/16” at both sides, 1/16” at the top and 2” at the rear. Be sure that airflow under the appliance is not blocked.

 Place your ice maker on a floor that is strong enough to support the ice maker when it is fully

loaded. To level your ice maker, adjust the leg at the front of the unit.

 Locate the ice maker away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.).

Direct sunlight may affect the outer surface of the unit and heat sources may increase electrical consumption.

 It is recommended that this appliance always be operated in an ambient temperature of at least

60°F and under 85°F. The appliance may be exposed to lower or higher temperatures, but only for short periods of time, and the temperature should never be below 45°F. Extremely cold ambient temperatures may cause the ice maker not to perform properly.

 Avoid locating the ice maker in moist areas. Too much moisture in the air will cause frost to form

quickly on the evaporator, requiring more frequent defrosting of the ice maker.

 Plug the ice maker into an exclusive, properly-installed grounded wall outlet. Do not under any

circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and or grounding should be directed toward a certified electrician or an authorized SUMMIT products service center.

Electrical Connection

 This ice maker should be properly grounded for your safety. The power cord of this ice maker is

equipped with a three-prong plug which mates with standard three-prong wall outlets to minimize the possibility of electrical shock.

 Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord

supplied.

 Never use a two-prong grounding adapter.  Never use an extension cord to connect power to the unit. Failure to follow these instructions can

result in fire or electrical shock.

 When a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, contact a qualified electrician to have it replaced

with a 3-prong receptacle in accordance with applicable electrical codes.

 This ice maker requires a standard 115/120 volts AC, 60Hz electrical outlet with three-prong

ground. The appliance can resist temporary voltage fluctuations from -15 to +10%.

WARNING

IMPROPER WATER LINE CONNECTION MAY RESULT IN FLOODING. YOU MUST USE A LICENSED PLUMBER. REVIEW STATE AND LOCAL PLUMBING CODES BEFORE INSTALLATION.

 To prevent accidental injury, the cord should be secured behind the ice maker and not left exposed

or dangling.

 Many outdoor outlets are controlled by wall switches. Turning power off and then on again may

cause the GFCI switch to trip. A GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) is built into every line cord. Do not defeat or bypass this important safety feature. The line cord supplied with this appliance is specifically designed for outdoor use. In the event the cord becomes damaged, use only a factory-supplied replacement cord with a GFCI. You may purchase these cords from either our sales or service departments at 1-718-893-3900 (Sales) or 1-800-932-4267 (Service). They can also be purchased online at www.summitappliance.com/support.

Connecting the Water Supply

 Not all the necessary hardware is provided for installation so you should hire a professional

licensed plumber to complete the installation.

 Connect tubing (supplied with unit) to the nearest cold water source. Connect sufficient tubing to the

unit to allow the appliance to be moved freely for cleaning and service. Also make sure that the tubing is not pinched or damaged during transportation.

 Position the unit to allow free airflow through the front of the unit. Wipe out inside of unit and ice bin

with a damp cloth.

OPERATING YOUR ICE MAKER

Initial Start-Up Operation

1. Plug the appliance into a 115/120V AC polarized and grounded wall electrical outlet.

2. Make sure the water supply is on. As soon as the inner mechanism reaches the proper temperature, the icemaker mechanism will fill the mold with water.

3. The first cubes may be small because of air in the water line. Later cubes will be of standard crescent- moon shape.

4. Approximate time for the first cycle is between 30-40 minutes.

5. Each cycle will take approximately 0.15 quarts of water so the ice bin should be full after 11 hours.

IMPORTANT: DISCARD ALL ICE CUBES MADE DURING THE FIRST 3 HOURS OF OPERATION.

 When the ice bin is full, the ice-making mechanism will automatically shut off. However the system

will continue to cool and maintain the supply of cubes.

 Ice delivery may be interrupted by raising the metal arm into an upright position

(see illustration).

 If the ice maker is not used regularly, it is recommended that the ice bin be

emptied periodically to insure fresh ice.

 Sometimes the cubes may appear cloudy. This should not be a cause for concern

and has nothing to do with the taste or chemical make-up of the water.

 This unit should be defrosted approximately every 4-6 weeks or when frost on the ice maker walls is

excessive or ¼” thick. To defrost, disconnect power to the unit, remove cubes and keep door open at least two inches. There is a drain located in the rear of the interior cabinet to help remove any water.

 This appliance is not designed to operate when exterior temperatures are below 45°F. If you have

seasons with temperatures routinely that low, the unit should be unplugged, cleaned and stored for the winter. Always leave the door slightly ajar during storage so odors will not build up inside the unit. Once a season, the stainless steel exterior can be lightly coated with WD-40 to restore luster and protect the finish.

For Best Performance of Your Outdoor Ice Maker

 Keep appliance out of direct sunlight  Allow for adequate air circulation  Do not use an outlet operating on a switch  Check GFCI cord regularly  Minimize door opening time

Adjusting the Temperature

 The temperature control is located in the rear of your icemaker. To make the interior colder, use

a screwdriver to turn the dial to the right.

 To turn the icemaker off, turn the rear-mounted dial all the way to the left.
