Your safety and the safety of others is very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your

appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and

the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:

You will be killed or seriously injured

if you don’t follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured

if you don’t follow instructions.

All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of

injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

Using Your Ice Maker

In order to obtain the best possible results from your ice maker, you must operate it properly.

This section will tell you how to do just that.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or

electrical shock.

Understanding how your ice maker works

1. Water is constantly circulated over a

freezing plate. As the water freezes into

ice, the minerals in the water are rejected.

This produces a sheet of ice with a low

mineral content.

NOTE: The ice maker is designed to

make clear ice from the majority of water

sources on a daily basis. If your results

are unsatisfactory, water may need to be

filtered or treated. See “Filtering and

treating water” on page 15.

2. When the desired thickness is reached,

the ice sheet is released and slides onto

a cutter grid. The grid divides the sheet

into individual cubes.

3. The water containing the rejected miner-

als is drained after each freezing cycle.

4. Fresh water enters the machine for the

next ice making cycle.

5. Cubes fall into the storage bin. When the

bin is full, the ice maker shuts off auto-

matically and restarts when more ice is

needed.

Setting the controls

1. Select ice thickness. The ice maker has

been preset to produce ice approximately

l/2” (13 mm) thick, while operating in a

room temperature of 70°F (21 “C).

Operation in different room tempera-

tures may require readjusting the Ice

Thickness Control Knob toward “THICK”

or “THIN.”

Best operation will be obtained with ice

%” (13 mm) to ,h” (16 mm) thick.

If operating in a warm room (above 90°F

[32”C]) do not set control to maximum

thickness or the unit may malfunction.

2. To start the normal ice making cycle, turn

the Cycle Control Knob to “ON.”

3. To stop ice maker operation, turn Cycle

Control Knob to “OFF.”

The “CLEAN” setting is used whenever solu-

tions are circulated through the ice maker for

cleaning. Only the water pump operates at

this setting. See “Cleaning the ice maker

system” on page 11 for specific instructions.

Changing the bin door panel

You can easily change the color of the front

panel on the storage bin door. Two colors

are available: Black and White.

To change bin door panel:

1. Open the storage bin door. Remove the

2 screws on the top of the door, which

hold the handle.

2. Loosen the screws in both of the side trim

pieces.

3. Remove the handle and the handle insert.

Screws

(both

sides)

4. Carefully slide the panel out. You will find

the reverse side is white. For units with

white panels showing, the reverse side

will be black.

5. Choose the color you want to show and

carefully slide the panel back into the door.

NOTE: Be careful not to scratch the panel

as it is inserted.

6. Replace the handle insert and tighten the

screws in both side trim pieces. Replace

the handle and the screws.

NOTE: You can make a decorative wood

front to match existing cabinets. The

panel should be 97’ (6 mm) thick and

17” x 11%” (433 mm x 286 mm). Remove

the color panel and break off the ribs

on the door insulation to allow for

wood thickness.

Changing the lower access panel

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power before servicing.

Replace all panels before operating.

Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

1. Unplug ice maker or disconnect power.

2. Remove the 2 screws in the lower access

panel and the one screw from the center

of the front panel support. (Open bin door

slightly for better access to the screw.)

Pull the bottom forward and then pull

down to remove the lower access panel.

continued on next page

3. Remove the 2 screws from the top panel

trim and remove the top trim.

4. Carefully slide the panel out.

5. Choose the color you want to show and

carefully slide the panel back into the

lower access panel.

NOTE: Be careful not to scratch the panel

as it is inserted.

6. Replace the top trim and screws. Replace

the lower access panel assembly and

screws.

NOTE: You can make a decorative wood

front to match existing cabinets. The

panel should be W’ (6 mm) thick and

17” x 11%” (433 mm x 303 mm).

Remove the color panel and spacers

to allow for wood thickness.

7. Plug in ice maker or reconnect power.

Cleaning Your Ice Maker

Periodically inspect and clean the ice maker

to keep it operating at peak efficiency and

to prevent premature failure of system

components.

Both the ice making system and the air

cooled condenser need to be cleaned

regularly.

The minerals rejected from the circulating

water during the freezing cycle will eventu-

ally form a hard scaly deposit in the water

system which prevents a rapid release of

the ice from the freezing plate.

Clean the ice and water system periodi-

cally to remove mineral scale buildup.

Frequency of cleaning depends on water

hardness. With hard water (15 to 20 grains/

gal. [4 to 5 grains/liter]), cleaning may be

required as frequently as every 6 months.

Cleaning exterior surfaces

Wash the exterior enamel surfaces and

gaskets with warm water and mild soap or

detergent. Wipe and dry. Regular use of a

good household appliance cleaner and wax

will help protect the finish.

Do not use abrasive cleaners on

enamel surfaces as they may scratch

the finish.

Cleaning the condenser

Electrical Shock Hazard

Disconnect power before cleaning.

Replace all panels before operating.

Failure to do so can result in death or electrical shock.

A dirty or clogged condenser:

l Prevents proper airflow.

l Reduces ice making capacity.

l Causes higher than recommended oper-

ating temperatures which may lead to

component failure.

1. Unplug ice maker or disconnect power.

2. Remove the 2 screws in the lower access

panel area and the one screw from the

center of the front panel support. (Open

bin door slightly for better access to the

screw.)

3. Pull the bottom forward and then pull

down to remove the lower access panel.

4. Remove dirt and lint from the condenser

fins and the unit compartment with a

brush attachment attached to a vacuum

cleaner.

5. Replace the lower access panel and

screws. The top of the access panel

needs to be secured under the 2 metal

tabs before replacing the screws,

6. Plug in ice maker or reconnect power.
