Operating
Instructions
• Confirn] ice bin is in place and ice maker arm is
down.
• After freezer section reaches
approximately
0° F (-18 ° C), ice
maker fills with water and begins
operating. You will have a complete
harvest of ice approximately
every
three hours.
• Allow approximately
24 hours after installation
to
receive first harvest of ice.
• Discard ice created within first 12 hours of operation
to assure system is flushed of impurities.
• Stop ice production
by raising ice maker arm until
click is heard.
• Ice maker will remain in the off position until arm is
pushed down.
• The first one or two batches will probably contain
undersized and irregular cubes because of air in the
supply line.
• When the ice cubes are ejected it is normal for
several cubes to be joined together at the ends. They
can easily be broken apart. The ice maker will
continue to make ice until the supply of ice cubes
raises the sensor arm, shutting the ice maker off.
• Certain sounds may accompany
the various cycles of
the ice maker. The motor may have a slight hum, the
cubes will rattle as they fall into an empty storage bin
and the water valve may click or "buzz" occasionally.
If the ice is not used frequently, the ice cubes will
become cloudy, shrink, stick together
and taste stale.
Empty the ice storage bin periodically
and wash it in
lukewarm
water. Be sure to dry the bin thoroughly
before replacing
it.
Beverages and foods should not be placed in the
ice storage bin for quick chilling. These items can
block the sensor arm, causing the ice maker to
malfunction.
• Turn off (arm up) the ice maker when the water
supply is to be shut off for several hours.
To Remove the Ice Bin:
• Pull it forward, away from the ice maker. To avoid the
ice maker dumping
ice while the bin is removed, turn
the ice maker off by raising the sensor arm.
To Install the Ice Bin:
• Reverse the above procedure. Turn the ice maker on
by lowering the sensor arm.
