IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW

••

Before beginning, please read these instructions completely and
carefully.

• DO NOT remove permanently affixed labels, warnings, or plates
from the product. This may void the warranty.

• Please observe all local and national codes and ordinances.

• Please ensure that this product is properly grounded.

• The installer should leave these instructions with the consumer who
should retain for local inspector’s use and for future reference.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury when using your unit, follow
these basic precautions:

• Read all instructions before using the unit.

• Never allow children to operate, play with, or crawl inside the unit.

• Never clean unit parts with flammable fluids. The fumes can create a fire
hazard or explosion.

• Always turn the power on/off switch (located behind the air grille on top right
side) to the OFF position before attempting to change light bulbs, clean, or
service the unit.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND
LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE. THE FUMES
CAN CREATE A FIRE HAZARD OR EXPLOSION.

INITIAL START UP

1. Turn on the water supply.

2. Switch on the electrical power.

3. Push and release the On/Off switch to start the machine. The Ice
Making light next to the On/Off switch will glow Blue.

4. Water will begin to flow into the unit. When the reservoir is full,
water will start to drain from the machine. After a few minutes the
compressor, water pump and fan motor will begin to operate and
the first ice making cycle will have begun.

No adjustments are needed.

After about half an hour, ice will fall into the ice storage bin. The
machine makes 24 cubes per batch. It is normal for the first batches of
ice to melt, that continues until the bin has cooled. It will take 8 to 10
hours of continuous run time to fill the ice bin. When the bin is full of
ice, the ice machine will shut off. It will automatically restart when the
ice level falls, either from use or normal meltage.

It is your responsibility to be sure your ice machine is:

• located so the front is not blocked to restrict incoming or discharge
air flow.

• properly leveled.

• located in a well ventilated area.

• connected to the proper kind of outlet, with the correct electric
supply and grounding. A 115V, 60 Hz, 15 amp fused electrical
supply is required. Note: Time delay fuse or circuit breaker is

recommended.

• not used by anyone unable to operate it properly.

• used only for its intended purpose.

• properly maintained.

USE

No special instructions are needed for use. Just take as much ice as
you need, the machine will replace it. A scoop is provided, and it can
be stored in the machine using the loop of tubing on the right side as
a holder. That tubing is also the ice level sensor; ice will fill the storage
bin until it is near to or on that tube and then the machine will shut off.

The machine can be shut off anytime by just pushing and releasing the
On/Off button. The machine will shut off at the end of the next cycle.
To shut off immediately, push and hold the On/Off button in until the
machine stops.
